==== Australia ====
In Australia, despite the centralized nature of the constitution, the High Court adopted the "[[reserved powers doctrine]]" which was used until 1920 to preserve as much autonomy for the states as can be interpreted from the constitution. This practice changed with the [[Amalgamated Society of Engineers v Adelaide Steamship Co Ltd|Engineers' Case]] which led reserved powers to be given to the Commonwealth.<ref name="Aroney 2008">{{cite journal|last=Aroney |first=N |title=Constitutional Choices in the Work Choices Case, or What Exactly Is Wrong with the Reserved Powers Doctrine? |journal=Melbourne University Law Review |year=2008 |url=http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/MelbULawRw/2008/1.html}} (2008) 32 [[Melbourne University Law Review]] 1.</ref>
