Correct, that is the difference between a Territory and a State.
Territory governments are called into being at the stroke of a federal
pen, and can be overriden just as easily.
If a State decides to enact patient killing I feel the external
affairs powers of the federal constitution will be brought out for a
little exercise. Unless people feel they should only ever be used
against Tasmania of course.
David Moss,
personal opinion only.
