Australian Constitution (Public Record Copy) Act 1990
- Australian Constitution (Public Record Copy) Act 1990
The Australian Constitution (Public Record Copy) Act 1990 was an Act of the British Parliament, passed in 1990. The purpose of the Act was to allow the Commonwealth of Australia to retain the copy of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 that the British government had loaned to Australia to be held in Canberra. The Australian government had formally requested to Queen Elizabeth II for the Act to remain in Australia, as part of the nation's history. However, under the Public Records Act 1958, the original copy of all Acts of Parliament had to remain in the Public Records Office in London. Thus the British government passed a new Act of Parliament to allow the copy to remain with Australia as a gift to celebrate Australia's centenary.
