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.
