How many people have to live in a territory for it to become a state?
There is, theoretically, no lower limit of people for a territory to become a state. In Australia, the Northern Territory could become a state, and it would be a fairly straightforward matter. Australia's constitution of 1901 did (and does) allow for the admission of new states into Australia. Section 121 of the constitution states that all that is required for a new state (or, in this case, for a territory to be declared a state) is for the Federal Parliament to agree. This even means that the Parliament could admit the Northern Territory as a state whether or not the NT agreed to it.

Which state joined Australia last?
Australia as a nation was only formed when the colonies federated. When the Commonwealth of Australia was formed in 1901, it consisted of just the six original colonies of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and Queensland. Each of these colonies, which became the states, joined at the same time. The Federal Capital Territory (now Australian Capital Territory) and the Northern Territory were both formed on 1 January 1911, but these are territories, not states. As for separating from the original New South Wales colony, the last colony to separate and become its own self-governing colony was Queensland, doing so on 6 June 1859.

When did the Northern Territory and Canberra become a state?
Neither Canberra nor the Northern Territory are states. Canberra is the capital city of Australia, and lies within the Australian Capital Territory, which was created in 1911 purely for the purpose of housing the national capital. The competition to design Australia's new capital city, Canberra, was won in 1911 by Walter Burley Griffin. The Northern Territory is just that - a territory. From 1825 to 1863, the Northern Territory was part of New South Wales, and from 1863 to 1911 it was part of South Australia. On 1 January 1911, the Northern Territory was separated from South Australia and transferred to Commonwealth control. The Northern Territory or the ACT could, some time in the future, become one of Australia's states. Australia's constitution of 1901 did (and does) allow for the admission of new states into Australia. Section 121 of the constitution states that all that is required for a new state is for the Federal Parliament to agree. This even means that the Parliament could admit the Northern Territory or the ACT as a state whether or not the residents agreed to it.
How did the Northern Territory become a territory?
The Northern Territory is one of two mainland Australian territories, and not a state. At Federation, the Northern Territory did not yet exist. From 1825 to 1863, the Northern Territory was part of New South Wales, and from 1863 to 1911 it was part of South Australia. This resulted from the successful 1862 expedition of John McDouall Stuart to find an overland route through the desert from Adelaide to the north. On 1 January 1911, the Northern Territory was separated from South Australia and transferred to Commonwealth control. The Northern Territory does not have the full rights that a state has, but the territory is administered by the Commonwealth delegating powers to the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly. States can govern their area in their own constitutional right. So, it is called a territory because it is an area of Australia controlled by Australia and is not an actual state.
Who tells how a territory can become a state?
The Federal Government is the overriding authority in Australia that determines if the Northern Territory (or any other territory) were to become a state. Australia's constitution of 1901 did (and does) allow for the admission of new states into Australia. Section 121 of the constitution states that all that is required for a new state (or, in this case, for a territory to be declared a state) is for the Federal Parliament to agree. This even means that the Parliament could admit the Northern Territory as a state whether or not the NT agreed to it.
What is the population a territory needs to become a state?

Section 121 of the constitution states that all that is required for a new state (or, in this case, for a territory to be declared a state) is for the Federal Parliament to agree.

Who discovered the N.T Australia?
Aside from the Aborigines, the first non-indigenous people to "discover" Australia's Top End (or the Northern Territory) were the Macassans. Several hundred years before white settlement, the Macassans would come to the northern Australian coastline and seek out trepang, or sea slugs, which they would trade as a delicacy in the Asian markets. The first overland explorer to reach the Top End was Ludwig Leichhardt, who reached Port Essington, which itself was first settled by Europeans in 1824. It took Leichhardt 18 months to make the journey, during which he was believed to have died, and he reached Port Essington in December 1845. The Northern Territory did not become its own territory until 1911. From 1825 to 1863, the Northern Territory was part of New South Wales, and from 1863 to 1911 it was part of South Australia. This resulted from the successful 1862 expedition of John McDouall Stuart to find an overland route through the desert from Adelaide to the north. This route was subsequently utilised for the building of the Overland Telegraph line. On 1 January 1911, the Northern Territory was separated from South Australia and transferred to Commonwealth control.
