专家说,西澳大利亚州在法律上不能分离,因为不存在宪法途径,而且缺乏公众支持。 Western Australia cannot legally secede, experts say, as no constitutional pathway exists and public support is lacking.

一些学者研究了西澳大利亚脱离澳大利亚的可行性,得出的结论是,虽然区域对资源收入和联邦政策的不满有时引发辩论,但根据《澳大利亚宪法》,没有法律途径。 A group of academics has examined the feasibility of Western Australia seceding from Australia, concluding that while regional dissatisfaction over resource revenue and federal policy has occasionally sparked debate, no legal pathway exists under the Australian Constitution. 分离需要全民公决和宪法修正案,面临重大政治、法律和经济障碍,包括依赖联邦基础设施和国防。 Secession would require a national referendum and constitutional amendment, facing major political, legal, and economic hurdles, including reliance on federal infrastructure and defense. 研究报告强调,分离仍然是一个理论讨论,没有广泛的公众支持或现实前景。 The study emphasizes that secession remains a theoretical discussion without broad public support or realistic prospects.
