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.
