Section 128 Mode of altering the Constitution
This Constitution shall not be altered except in the following
manner:
The proposed law for the alteration thereof must be passed by an
absolute majority of each House of the Parliament, and not less
than two nor more than six months after its passage through both
Houses the proposed law shall be submitted in each State and
Territory to the electors qualified to vote for the election of
members of the House of Representatives.
But if either House passes any such proposed law by an absolute
majority, and the other House rejects or fails to pass it, or passes it
with any amendment to which the first-mentioned House will not
agree, and if after an interval of three months the first-mentioned
House in the same or the next session again passes the proposed
law by an absolute majority with or without any amendment which
has been made or agreed to by the other House, and such other
House rejects or fails to pass it or passes it with any amendment to
which the first-mentioned House will not agree, the
Governor-General may submit the proposed law as last proposed
by the first-mentioned House, and either with or without any
amendments subsequently agreed to by both Houses, to the ELECTORS
in each State and Territory qualified to vote for the election of the
House of Representatives.
When a proposed law is submitted to the electors the vote shall be
taken in such manner as the Parliament prescribes. But until the
qualification of electors of members of the House of
Representatives becomes uniform throughout the Commonwealth,
only one-half the ELECTORS voting for and against the proposed law
shall be counted in any State in which adult suffrage prevails.
And if in a majority of the States a majority of the ELECTORS voting
approve the proposed law, and if a majority of all the ELECTORS.
