How can the Australian Constitution be changed?

Answer

By a referendum requiring approval by majority of voters and majority of states

Explanation

To change the Constitution, Parliament must pass a referendum bill. It requires a double majority: a majority of voters nationwide and a majority of states voting yes.

Why this matters for your test

This high threshold ensures constitutional changes have broad support.
