Wrong about Queensland: I checked again and I am wrong about Queensland. I read the new \"Queensland Constitution\" and saw the old \"Constitution Act\" was still in force and they did not call a referendum. What I did not realise was that they gutted the old Act, so most of it could be said to be rewritten. The main reason for the Queensland Constitution was to consolidate the various acts. This reason is not applicable to the Australian Constitution.
On the other points, I believe you are underestimating the dislike the allies had for the Nazi party and the Japanese military government. Perhaps the new Iraqi constitution is an example! It is not the written constitutions of those nations which are responsible for history. Interestingly Austria restored its old constitution after the war and Finland kept the same constitution throughout.
Keep in mind, the complaints you mention about the Australian constitution are considered attributes by others. But let\'s assuming that the people accept these as problems. The solution is not a rewrite, but actual solutions.
Finally, section 128 is not to blame for the difficulty in changing the constitution. As they say, the voters are always right.
