I know that the answer to the question "The colonies that would form into the commonwealth of Australia would still continue to self govern along with following  a national goverment also referred to as?" is in "In 1901, the Federation of Australia was the process by which the six separate British self-governing colonies of New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia formed one nation. They kept the systems of government that they had developed as separate colonies but also would have a federal government that was responsible for matters concerning the whole nation. When the Constitution of Australia came into force, the colonies collectively became states of the Commonwealth of Australia.". Can you tell me what it is?
The answer to this question is:
federal government
