916 THE FEDERATIONS AND THE UNION [PART IV over a further area the Commonwealth will be able to control the water-supply. Over the country in question the Commonwealth will have full legislative authority for the first time, since in the case of Papua it has not chosen to exercise that authority as a rule, leaving legislation to the local Legislature. Besides the Act of 1909 for acquiring the territory, it has legislated in 1910 for its provisional Government, and has superseded the state conciliation laws. Act No. 25 makes provision for the provisional Government of the territory transferred by the State of New South Wales for the seat of Government of the Commonwealth. The most important provision is that contained in s. 12, which provides that until Parliament makes other provision the Governor-General may make ordinances having the force of law in the territory. Every such ordinance shall be laid before both Houses of the Parliament within thirty days after it has been made, or, if Parliament is not sitting, within thirty days after the next meeting of Parliament, and may be disallowed by resolution of either House of which notice has been given at any time within fifteen sitting days after the ordinance has been laid before the House. It is also pro- vided that the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration dct, 1904-10, the Australian Industries Preservation Act, 1906-9, and the Secret Commissions Act, 1905, shall apply to the territory in lieu of the laws of the State of New South Wales with regard to industrial disputes, conciliation, and arbitration. No Crown lands in the territory shall be sold or disposed of for any estate of freehold except in pursuance of some contract entered into before the commencement of the Commonwealth Act.2 When land is acquired by the Commonwealth, the compensation paid for the land shall not exceed the unimproved value on October 8, 1908, together with the value of the owner’s interest in the improvements on 1 New South Wales arranged for the transfer by Act of 1909. The Crown lands are granted free as required in the Constitution ; see Quick and Garran, p. 982. See Parliamentary Debates, 1910, pp. 5872 seq., 5945 seq., 6007 seq.; Parl.
