Best Answer

The Constitution promotes a concept known as the 'Division of Powers' which essentially divides certain powers between the Commonwealth and state governments, and some powers are shared between them both. Those powers stated under section 51 are Commonwealth powers/matters, and those omitted are State matters.

Answering the question... The Constitution forbids States from implementing legislation that is primarily Commonwealth (or Federal) responsibility.
