Here in Australia,our constitution can only be changed by referendum.
The last one was in 1999, to see if Australians wanted to become a republic. The proposition was soundly defeated, exactly as it was designed, by the royalist conservative government of the day.

Quote:1999 Referendum Report and Statistics
The 1999 referendum was announced on 12 August 1999 in a joint statement by the Commonwealth Attorney-General, the Hon. Daryl Williams MP and the Special Minister of State, Senator the Hon. Chris Ellison.
They announced that two proposed constitutional changes would be put to the direct vote of Australian electors at a referendum to be held on 6 November 1999. The first change was whether Australian voters approved the proposal to establish Australia as a republic and the second change was whether they approved the proposal to insert a preamble in the Constitution.
