# Norfolk Island ready to mutiny once again.
A half-forgotten bequest by Queen Victoria has been invoked in a bitter struggle over self-government between Australia and one of its farthest-flung island territories.
Norfolk Island, a subtropical outcrop in the South Pacific, is about to celebrate the 150th anniversary of its settlement by descendants of the notorious HMS Bounty mutineers.
But plans by Canberra to claw back some of the island's jealously guarded powers of self-government have left the 1900 inhabitants in mutinous mood once again.
