Original Note:
The image shows part of one of the “covering clauses” of the Constitution Act. This clause defines a State as “such colonies … as may be admitted”. This simply gives the colonies listed, including New Zealand, the option of joining the new federation. https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Senate/Powers_practice_n_procedures/Constitution/preamble
