TABLE OF

COMMONWEALTH

LEGISLATION FROM

1901 TO 1927 IN RELATION TO THE SEVERAL PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION.

NOTE.-This Table is designed to group, under the several provisions of the Constitu tion, the enactments of the Federal Parliament passed by virtue of, or in relation to, these provisions.

Its object is to facilitate reference to all the Commonwealth legislation relating to any particular provision of the Constitution, so that it can be readily ascertained whether and to what extent the legislative power of the Commonwealth has been exercised in relation to that provision or to its subject-matter, and (in the case of those provisions of the Constitution which are expressed to have effect "until the Parliament otherwise provides") whether any other provision has been made.

The Table does not purport to be either authoritative or exhaustive. Enactments may incidentally derive support from, or relate to, other provisions of the Constitution than those with which they are primarily connected; but no attempt has been made to tabulate other than direct and obvious relations. For instance, almost every enactment made by virtue of a specific legislative power may derive additional support from section 51 (xxxix.); but the only enactments which have been tabulated under that provision are those in which the incidental element appears to preponderate.

Short titles of Acts not now in force are printed in italics.

State Acts passed in pursuance of powers conferred by certain sections of the Constitution are enumerated in footnotes.
