Talk:Constitutional history of Australia

message: Australia, in its constitutional history does have equivalents to most of these Canadian constitutional changes but the primary nor history page reflects this.
Changes in Canada's Constitutional Framework as found in Constitution of Canada
* Act of Settlement (1701)
* Treaty of Paris (1763)
* Royal Proclamation (1763)
* Quebec Act (1774)
*Constitution Act (1791)
* Act of Union (1840)
* Constitution Act (1867)
* British North America Acts (1867-1975)
* Statute of Westminster (1931)
* Succession to the Throne Act (1937)
* Letters Patent (1947)
* Canada Act (1982)
* Constitution Act (1982)
::Their are similarities, of course. One could remark that the Constitution Act 1986 is parrallel to the Constitution Act 1982, and the Act of Union 1840 might bear some resemblance to Federation in 1901. But Australia's constitutional history is quite independent to that of Canada. What value would making such comparisons have?Gazzster (talk) 01:49, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

message: Rename Constitutional history of Australia? --Jiang
I have removed the reference to head of state, which is not defined and is a matter of varied opinion. The Queen neither possesses nor exercises any significant powers and her only remaining role is to appoint the Governor-General, which she does on the sole advice of the Australian Prime Minister.

message: I have a problem with this:
Can the Senate refuse supply or refuse to discuss supply? 
This was implied to be an "unanswered question." I tend to disagree. I think it is pretty obvious that the Senate CAN do that if they so desire. Where they should or not is another issue entirely, but they are well within their powers to say "no."
Of course, the party in control of the senate would probably get lynched in today's political atmosphere, but that's a different story.
I tentatively suggest we rephrase the question... maybe "should" the senate refuse supply? Although that's a bit iffy...
I also added a couple of headings to the discussion page to make it easier to read - I got very confused reading through it :D  Hope that's alright. GreenGopher 03:40, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would agree with the rephrase.  I don't think there's much doubt the Senate is able to refuse supply, or delay voting on supply. --Robert Merkel 06:33, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
