Australian monarch getting defamation (12)

I believe the answer is:

queenslander

'australian' is the definition.
(I know that Queenslander is a type of australian)

'monarch getting defamation' is the wordplay.
'monarch' becomes 'queen' (female monarch).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'defamation' becomes 'slander' (synonyms).
'queen'+'slander'='QUEENSLANDER'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
