    List of state constitutional acts: http://www.ntu.edu.au/faculties/lba/schools/Law/apl/Constitutional_Law/constitutions.htm

    Now Queensland has a legislative instrument called the \"Constitution of Queensland 2001\", that \"declares, consolidates and modernises the Constitution of Queensland.\" However the real power of Queensland lawmaking is still with the Constitution Act of 1867, because those key provisions can only be changed via referendum.

    I cannot understand the Queensland legislative strategy. The intent is to consolidate the consitution, but infact they have created another legislative instrument, not entrenched, which is even more confusing, because the most important provisions are not in the body of the 2001 act.
