Talk:Changes in British sovereignty

Thats odd - British sovereignty over Australia was terminated by the Australia Acts of 1986 when it became a 'Sovereign ,Independent and Federal Nation ' yet it is not listed ? Lejon (talk) 13:42, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

And again Australia does not " retain the British Monarch as its Head of State " -- Elizabeth occupies the office of Queen of Australia with the permission of the Australian Parliament. The position of Australian Monarch is a completely separate legal and Constitutional position from the British Monarchs position. Lejon (talk) 01:00, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

The Statute of Westminster 1931 did not terminate the legal  Sovereignty of the British parliament over Australia - there are many references to that. Note that ALL australian citizens could have a law passed in the Westminster Parliament enforced on them AFTER the Statute and even the ' adoption ' Act 1. via the continueing power of the British parliament over the individual Australian States and 2. As long as ' manner and form provisions ' were first complied with ie the legislation was passed with the request and consent of the Australian Federal government. The Statute of Westminster increased the 'autonomy of the British Dominions but did not grant full legal Sovereignty. Lejon (talk) 02:05, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
