	Constitution of Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The text of the Constitution was originally a schedule to the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (in full, An Act to constitute the Commonwealth of Australia), an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
		The Constitution provided the new system of government for the new federation, the Commonwealth of Australia, which consisted at its inception on January 1, 1901 of the former separate colonies of New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia.
		But a number of references in the Constitution make it clear that the authors assumed that the Queen of the United Kingdom, as head of the British Empire, would stand at the head of Australia's constitutional system, although her powers are delegated by the Constitution to the Governor-General of Australia as her representative.
