Which state or territory has the smallest population in Australia?

The state of Tasmania, with just on half a million people in 2010, has the smallest population in Australia. However, the Northern Territory, which is a territory rather than a state, has the smallest population of all of Australia's states and territories. In 2008, the population of the Northern Territory was an estimated 220,000.


What is the population a territory needs to become a state?

There is no specific limit required for either the Northern territory or the Australian Capital Territory to become a state. For either territory to become a state 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.


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.
