Does that mean the conservatorship is completely over though?

Since she's allowed to choose her own conservator (what a ridiculous, nineteenth-century idea!) I would say not quite, but it's certainly surely a step in the right direction, hopefully towards getting rid of it altogether?

Girl got a right to support whatever party she likes. The point is she should be free to express her own opinions, and not those of someone else.

An Unlikely Mammal Returns to the Mainland
Australia | The voracious, whirling Looney Tunes character might be the first Tasmanian devil that springs to mind, but the real-life creature is actually one of the world’s most vulnerable marsupials. Devastated by a facial-tumour disease that wiped out up to 90 per cent of the population in some areas of Tasmania, devils were declared an endangered species in 2008.

Now Tasmanian devils are thriving on the Australian mainland for the first time in 3,000 years, thanks to the efforts of conservation group Aussie Ark. Dozens of devils were introduced to a 400-hectare sanctuary in New South Wales last year, and this spring, the first generation of joeys were born.

Once widespread over the entire continent, prehistoric climate change, combined with hunting by people and dingoes, left Tasmania the only place where devils survived after 1,000 B.C. Aussie Ark hopes to create a self-sustaining population of devils that can help rebalance the ecosystem in the face of invasive species. —By Anna-Kaisa Walker

To quote Douglas Adams, this never happens. But thank the Great Pixie it did this time. Nice to see a happy ending for once.
