	Governors of the Australian states - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Governors of the Australian states are the representatives in the six states of Australia of Australia's head of state, Queen Elizabeth II.
		Responsible government reduced the role of the state Governors to a largely ceremonial one, although they remained the head of the constitutional system, appointing heads of government (see Premiers of the Australian states) and granting or declining requests for dissolutions of the legislatures.
		State Governors continued to be appointed by the King on the advice of the Colonial Secretary in London, usually after an informal consultation with the state government.

		The Parliaments of the Australian states and territories are legislative bodies within the federal framework of the Commonwealth of Australia.

	The Effects of Marijuana Decriminalization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Considering the so-called decriminalization states in the USA and Australia, describe the measures implemented there, assess the evidence of impact, and discuss the methodological strengths and weaknesses of the evaluation studies.
		Since these users in the decriminalized states are typically no longer 'criminalized' (in the sense that they may be subject to fingerprinting, photographing, incarceration or having their offence recorded as a serious infraction of the law), they receive the benefit of being able to hide their infraction much as someone would hide a speeding ticket.
		Even so, the rise in use rates in these states is of little value on their own, as they may rise or fall according to trend they had been following before the policy was implemented, or affected by other factors that obscure the real impact of the decriminalization policy.

		The role of the state Governors became a matter of controversy during the debate about Australia becoming a republic, culminating in the 1999 referendum on the republic issue.
		Some monarchists argued that even if the Australian people decided at a referendum to make Australia a republic (and thus replace the Governor-General with an elected or appointed President), the states would retain their independent links with the Crown and could thus go on appointing state Governors.
		At a more practical level it was argued that if the Australian people decided to abolish the monarchy the Queen would accept this verdict and would voluntarily end her remaining links with the Australian states.
