No, I live in New Zealand, which is a part of the commonwealth, and we think that it is a good idea for the queen to be able to veto any law that is passed.

The Queen cannot veto laws passed by the Australian and NZ Parliaments. The Royal Prerogative is exercised in Australia and NZ by the Governors-General of those two countries. They are bound to exercise the prerogative on the advice of the Prime Minister, and not according to their own wishes or tastes.
