Description
I INTRODUCTION This year marks the sesqui-centenary of the Queensland Constitution. On 6 June 1859 Letters Patent were issued by Queen Victoria establishing Queensland as a separate colony. On the same day an Imperial Order in Council was made, providing Queensland with a Constitution based upon the New South Wales Constitution. Clause 14 of the Order preserved the application in Queensland of ss 31-3 and 40 of the Australian Constitutions Act (No 1) 1842, concerning royal assent, reservation, disallowance and the Governor's instructions. Clause 22 of the Order gave the Queensland legislature the power to amend or repeal the Order in Council and enact a new local Constitution for Queensland, except that it could not amend or repeal clause 14. The provisions of the Australian Constitutions Act (No 1) 1842 concerning assent, reservation, disallowance and royal instructions continued to apply to Queensland by paramount force.
