Original 1899 Draft Constitution

About 10% of the population voted for this Constitution at the time. Only landowners were eligible to vote, and women were excluded except for some in SA and WA. Aborigines were also excluded.
The crucial words, “This Act binds the Crown” that create accountability were included in this document when it was sent to the London Parliament to be signed into law. But they unilaterally took out accountability by deleting “This Act binds the Crown”. Download the 1901 document and compare them.
