Best Answer

Australia has two mainland territories: the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory.

Factions within the Northern Territory are working towards statehood, while many Territorians are content to leave the status quo as it is.

What is the Northern Territory?

The Northern Territory is a territory on the Australian continent, 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.

Can the Northern Territory become a state?

Yes, 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. Many Territorians support the push to become a state as they feel they are lacking the same rights as residents in the states have; this is because the Northern Territory government may pass a law - but it can easily be overridden by the Federal government. Further, sometimes the constitution gives rights to individuals but those rights are only available in reality if one lives in a state. An example is how Section 117 of the constitution states that anyone who lives in a state cannot be discriminated against on that basis, yet one can be discriminated against because one lives in a Territory.

When did Australia's name become official?

Australia has only ever had one "official" name, and that is its current name: The Commonwealth of Australia, which was adopted on 1 January 1901, at Federation. As a continent, the name "Australia" was adopted in 1824, but this did not refer to the country, as Australia was not yet a country, but a group of colonies occupying the same continent.
