We didn't create the Monarchy, we inherited it.
It was relevant for Australia when Australia was an 'outpost' of the British Empire.
But now Australia stands well and truly on its own two feet.
We have already cut many legal ties with the UK.
Time to create our own 'head of state' with appropriate constitutional duties?
A simple and straight forward adjustment.

Cumberland,

If you truly believe that the Constitution does not
have racist clauses in it then you don't know it very well.
Or our history that still remains with us to this day.

"Waleed Aly has sparked debate with his co-hosts on The Project by calling for an Indigenous elder to replace Queen Elizabeth II as Australia's head of state."

What do aboriginal leaders know about Australian Constitution and English Culture? They want to remove anything English from their lands. There were over 250 tribal groups in australia before settlement who were not one national unity holding recognized title to land. Who's elder do you call upon to represent the Nation?

Our constitution allows federal laws to be made for
a particular race of people which is a relic of
Australia's past and is potentially dangerous.

The Race Power law in section 51 (xxvi) of the
constitution gives parliament the power to make laws for
"the people of any race for whom it is deemed necessary to
make special laws."

I'm not a constitutional expert but there are other relics
that need to be removed that should no longer apply.
Having an indigenous qualified person as our head-of-state
is as good an idea - and why not? Unless you assume
none are qualified for the job because they are indigenous?

There are many qualified indigenous people that come to mind.
All you have to do is Google them.

Foxy,
The clause relating to race could be one of the most beneficial one in the Constitution, just suppose that we had good reason to exclude a race, such as heaith; we’d be fools to give up the power to do so.

Is Mise,

So which race should we exclude based on their health?

Or are only the white races healthy in your opinion?

Smacks a bit of white supremacy to me.

After all didn't the colonists bring with them all sorts
of diseases that were inflicted on the native population?
Perhaps the colonists should have stayed away?
