A status referendum was held in Norfolk Island on 2 January 1991 on the constitutional status of the Australian overseas territory of Norfolk Island.[1]
Voters were asked "With respect to matters discussed by the Legal Regimes Inquiry, including the question of federal representation, should the constitutional position of Norfolk Island be changed?".
The referendum was dismissed by the Australian Government as premature, because the federal parliament had not yet decided anything.[2]
