	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.
		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.
		This view is rejected by the Governor-General, who has stated that Queen Elizabeth II is Australia's head of state, and by the Australian government, which continues to put the Queen's head on all Australian coins, some banknotes and occasional stamps, and otherwise accord her the symbolic status of head of state.
