Two more things to note: The centralisation referenda were mostly in the first fifty years of the Commonwealth, and have fallen off since then. This happens to correspond roughly with the Commonwealth government securing for itself the right to tax income, and the State governments being put on a lead ...
Also, percentages are probably useful for comparison, so using your categories:
Centralisation: 11% passed,
Democracy: 33% passed.
Illiberalism: 0 passed
Other: 0 passed.
That\'s still not a huge difference between centralisation and democracy, but it does suggest that the unwanted centralisation referenda is still largely responsible for the impression that it\'s hard to get our constitution changed.
