Sovereignty: (1) the quality or state of having supreme power or authority; (2) the authority of a state to govern itself; (3) a self-governing state.
Oxford English Dictionary

With substantive constitutional change and structural reform, we believe this ancient sovereignty can shine through as a fuller expression of Australia’s nationhood.
