car. 1] THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA 913 counting whites only is under two thousand, there shall be three, with one for every complete thousand over the number of two thousand, but so as never to exceed twelve. The quorum is a third of the members. Only the Lieutenant- Governor can propose money votes. The Council has full legislative powers, but cannot impose discriminating duties on Commonwealth imports, and every Act needs the assent of the Lieutenant-Governor and may then be disallowed within six months after the assent. The Lieutenant- Governor may also reserve a Bill, and then it falls to the ground unless assented to within one year from the date of presentation to the Lieutenant-Governor for his assent. The Lieutenant-Governor is forbidden by the Act to assent to any of the following classes of Bills unless they contain a suspending clause : Bills for divorce, and for the disposal of Crown lands, Bills granting him land or money, or incon- sistent with the treaty obligations of the United Kingdom or the Commonwealth, or interfering with the control or disci- pline of the Imperial military or naval forces, and Bills inter- fering with the prerogative or the rights and property of subjects eof the King outside the territories, or the trade and shipping of any part of the Empire, if these Bills are of an extraordinary nature or importance. He cannot assent also to Bills dealing with native lands, or native labour, or depor- tation of natives, or the supply of arms, ammunition, and intoxicants to the natives, or immigration of Asiatics, African or Australian natives, or natives of the Pacific Islands, or Bills which have before been refused assent either by the Crown or by the Governor-General.! Further, the Commonwealth can of course make laws for the territory at pleasure, and by an unusual provision, while existing laws were continued, power was taken, in the case of all ordinances existing on the subjects which are mentioned as requiring reservation in the case of future Bills, to submit the Acts to the Governor-General, who could disallow any one within three months. The judiciary consists of the existing Courts, which, how- 1 Tf he assents, the assent is void. Aa 19762
