	Constitution of Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The text of the Constitution was originally a schedule to the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (Imp) or formally 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.

	The authority of the tax office questioned
		The people of Australia are sovereign, not the politicians, not the parliaments, not the political parties, not the bureaucrats, not the appointed "authorities", not the "Governor-General", not the various State "Governors", not the land, the soil, or the stones, but the people.
		In the case of the Australian Constitution, one obstacle to the acceptance of that view is that the Constitution owes its legal force to its character as a statute of the Imperial Parliament enacted in the exercise of its legal sovereignty.

	Didj "u" Know - 1967 Referendum
		From 1829 Australia was considered part of the dominions of the Crown, which meant that all inhabitants were regarded as British subjects; this included Aboriginal people.
		It wasn’t until the passing of the Commonwealth Franchise Act 1902 and the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 that Indigenous people were not included as citizens of Australia, and could therefore not vote.
		The 1967 Referendum was about amending The Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 Section 51 (xxvi) by removing the words other that the aboriginal race in any State; and the repeal of Section 127.
