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.
