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.
