	Section 51 of the Australian Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Section 51 of the Australian Constitution grants legislative powers to the Australian (Commonwealth) Parliament.
		Matters covered in section 51 may be legislated on by the states, but the legislation will be ineffective if inconsistent with or in a field 'covered by' Commonwealth legislation (by virtue of s109 inconsistency provision).
		Section 51 therefore encompasses a group of ‘nationhood’ powers which reflect what powers a ‘nation’ was viewed as possessing.

		Section 64, third paragraph, expresses the drafters' decision to reject the US "separation" between executive and congress (the President and the members of the Cabinet do not have seats in Congress) in favour of the British practice.
		Section 68 does not mean that the Governor-General could take personal command of the military forces; this function must also be exercised in accordance with the advice of ministers.
		The main point of this Section is in the fifth paragraph -- that the Constitution cannot be altered unless the alteration is approved by a majority of voters throughout Australia and also by a majority of voters in at least four States.

	George Williams: The Federal Parliament and the Protection of Human Rights
		It established the Constitutional Commission in December 1985 to report on the revision of the Australian Constitution in order, inter alia, to 'ensure that democratic rights are guaranteed'.(49) The Commission was assisted by an Advisory Committee on Individual and Democratic Rights under the Constitution.
		The failed 1988 referendum to change the Australian Constitution demonstrated the difficulty of gaining a 'Yes' vote.(84) It showed that bipartisan support is essential for constitutional change and that the support of the Australian people cannot be assumed even for a proposal that is designed to protect the rights of Australians as against government.
		Section 2 states that: 'The rights and freedoms contained in this Bill of Rights are affirmed' and section 3 that the Act applies to acts done by the legislative, executive, or judicial branches or by a person or body in the performance of a public function carried out under law.

	The Australian Constitution - Is it safe? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Sections 4, 9 (2) and (3) and 10 (2) of the Statute of Westminster, in so far as they are part of the law of the Commonwealth, of a State or of a Territory, have subsequently been repealed by section 12 of the Australia Act 1986.
		That view is that section 2 (2) of the Statute of Westminster did not increase the area of the powers of the Australian parliament beyond those laid down in the Australian constitution.
		If most Australians do not understand their Constitution itself, then, it would not be too hard to visualise that most voters were probably not aware of the proposed changes to both of the Australia Acts prior to the 6 November 1999 republic referendum.

	eBay Guides - Postage Stamps And Postal History Of Australia
		At federation the Commonwealth was granted the power to operate a central postal system through Section 51(v) of the Australian Constitution.
		Although unification of systems was expected to occur quickly, and a federal postmaster general was appointed, the process was delayed for several years; the stamps of each colony were not recognized by other colonies until 1910, and postal rates only became uniform throughout Australia on 1 May 1911.
		Stamp-issuing policy was relatively restrained in the 1970s, but in the 1980s and 1990s, considerable numbers of stamps began to appear, and many miniature sheets were overprinted for local stamp shows.
