Section 125 was inserted in the draft Constitution during the premier’s conference of 1899. Part of the section states that the ‘seat of government of the Commonwealth … shall be in the state of NSW, and be distant not less than one hundred miles from Sydney’. This and other requirements of the section, establish the seat of Australian governance and the capital of the country within the area which is now known as the Australian Capital Territory (ACT).
