all Australians of the relevance of the Commonwealth, because

particularly significant in 1981 because the Statute of
Westminster, the British Parliamentary Act which led to the
I Commonwealth is 50 years old, and the CommonwealthHeads of
Government Meeting will be held in Australia for the first time.
