In 1856 the descendants of the Bounty Mutineers moved from Pitcairn Island to Norfolk Island and thereby commenced the Fourth Settlement of Norfolk Island. Today Norfolk Island is an External Territory under the authority of the Commonwealth of Australia. It is governed under the provisions of the Norfolk Island Act 1979 (Commonwealth), which established a 9-member Legislative Assembly with power to legislate for the peace, order and good government of the Island. The Assembly is elected by Island residents. Commonwealth laws apply to the Island only where they are expressed to do so.
