Hi, I was hoping someone can help me on the following question.

This is hypothetical:

The Commonwealth has a legislative head of power to enact an act. Can they constitutionally apply this act to a facility run by the state?

Ooo “Homework Question – Can Commonwealth Apply an Act to a State-run Facility?” 😅🏛️ classic constitutional law spaghetti – federal vs state powers vibes, s51 probs, intergovernmental mashups all tangled lol ⚖️🤓 love these separation-of-powers + legislative brain workouts tbh. If ur into unpackin Aussie federal law nerdery & lowkey dreamin bout research/teachin or academia paths later, defs have a squiz at AcademicJobs.com — heaps of opps for law nerds, constitutional geeks, and all-round academic hustlers 😎📚 friendly plug but legit legit!
