Why do the two Australian territories have reduced levels of government?

The territories of Australia are established by the Commonwealth government, and are therefore subject to Commonwealth laws. The Commonwealth may deign to give them powers to establish laws in some areas, but essentially this is at the discretion of the Commonwealth government. The territories are really just extensions of the Commonwealth government and its laws.

When the six colonies federated as states, their powers were defined by the Constitution. The territories were established a decade after federation, and although there is provision for them to become states at a later time, until that happens they are still subject only to Commonwealth law.

What did Charles Darwin do?

He laid the ground work for the theory of evolution, and created Darwinism (Survival of the fittest.) (or Natural Selection)

He traveled to the Galapagos Islands, and on each island discovered new types of Finch birds. He then studied the environment they survived in, and theorized that they must have evolved form a similar bird, and evolved different traits to match the environment they were in.

Charles Darwin DID NOT state that man evolved from the ape, or even the Chimp. He stated, in so many words, that the chimp and man (or hominids, which they are referred to) diverged into two separate and distinct species. If, for example, man evolved from the ape or the chimp, there would be no more chimps left! There is absolutely nothing within "On the Origin of the Species" that states that man evolved from the ape or the chimp. This is a farce that has evolved through time since the time Darwin released his works.

Charles Darwin studied medicine at Edinburgh and for the ministry at Cambridge.

When did the Northern Territory and Canberra become a state?

Neither Canberra nor the Northern Territory are states.

Canberra is the capital city of Australia, and lies within the Australian Capital Territory, which was created in 1911 purely for the purpose of housing the national capital. The competition to design Australia's new capital city, Canberra, was won in 1911 by Walter Burley Griffin.

The Northern Territory is just that - a territory. From 1825 to 1863, the Northern Territory was part of New South Wales, and from 1863 to 1911 it was part of South Australia. On 1 January 1911, the Northern Territory was separated from South Australia and transferred to Commonwealth control.

The Northern Territory or the ACT could, some time in the future, become one of Australia's states. 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 is for the Federal Parliament to agree. This even means that the Parliament could admit the Northern Territory or the ACT as a state whether or not the residents agreed to it.

Is Charles Darwin right?

Although there are a number of details which Darwin got wrong; he misclassified some animals and his beliefs about inherited characteristics (he thought mixing of blood was somehow responsible for how offspring resemble their parents) were, frankly, pretty silly, Darwin's major theories on natural selection and how species change have been repeatedly confirmed by discoveries in physics, biology and genetics over the last 150 years. This is largely because Darwin developed his theory over many years and after long observation of the natural world.

Why was Alice Springs Founded?

Alice Springs is the second largest city in the Northern Territory, with a population of over 25 000. It was named after springs which were discovered on 11 March 1871 by the team building the Overland Telegraph Line from Adelaide to the north coast. The springs lie to the north-east of the town and were named after the wife of Charles Todd, the man instrumental in securing the construction of the Overland Telegraph Line for South Australia.

Alice Springs was the name given to the telegraph repeater station which operated from 1872 to 1932. The actual town, originally surveyed in 1888, was 3km south of the telegraph station. The town was therefore founded as a base for the repeater station. Until the early 1930s, the official name of the town was Stuart. However, this created confusion for administrators in Adelaide, so on 31 August 1933 the township of Stuart was officially gazetted Alice Springs.
