Section 52 of the Constitution of Australia

Section 52 of the Constitution of Australia enumerates the exclusive powers granted to the Parliament of Australia by the Australian States at Federation. In contrast to Section 51, the powers granted under Section 52 are only vested in the federal parliament, to the exclusion of state parliaments.

Section 52 enumerates three categories of exclusive powers, relating to the governance of certain federally owned properties, the regulation of the specific state government agencies, and powers over "other matters" described elsewhere in the constitution.
