396 THE FEDERATIONS AND THE UNION [part IV the several states as prescribed for the period preceding the imposition of uniform duties of customs.! 94. After five years from the imposition of uniform duties of customs, the Parliament may provide, on such basis as it deems fair, for the monthly payment to the several states of all surplus revenue of the Commonwealth. 95. Notwithstanding anything in this Constitution, the Parliament of the State of Western Australia, if that state be an Original State, may, during the first five years after the imposition of uniform duties of customs, impose duties of customs on goods passing into that state and not originally imported from beyond the limits of the Commonwealth ; and such duties shall be collected by the Commonwealth. But any duty so imposed on any goods shall not exceed during the first of such years the duty chargeable on the goods under the law of Western Australia in force at the imposition of uniform duties, and shall not exceed during the second, third, fourth, and fifth of such years respectively, four-fifths, three-fifths, two-fifths, and one-fifth of such latter duty, and all duties imposed under this section shall cease at the expiration of the fifth year after the imposition of uniform luties. If at any time during the five years the duty on any goods under this section is higher than the duty imposed by the Commonwealth on the importation of the like goods, then such higher duty shall be collected on the goods when im- ported into Western Australia from beyond the limits of the “ommonwealth. 98. The power of the Parliament to make laws with cespect to trade and commerce extends to navigation and shipping, and to railways the property of any state. 99. The Commonwealth shall not, by any law or regulation of trade, commerce, or revenue, give preference to one state or any part thereof over another state or any part thereof. 100. The Commonwealth shall not, by any law or regula- tion of trade or commerce, abridge the right of a state or of the residents therein to the reasonable use of the waters of rivers for conservation or irrigation. Nothing has caused more unending discussion than the slause 87. ¢ the Braddon blot’. It was a compromise, and ' Cf. on this, State of Tasmania v. Commonwealth and State of Victoria, | C. L. R. 329. Tasmania consistently loses revenue by its proximity to Victoria and New South Wales, and the impossibility of caleulating on what goods duty should really be paid. |
