I think we dont need 3 levels of government (federal state and council).
And ithink the states are too big and diverse. I suspect the people of Moree NSW have more in common with the people of Longreach etc as far as community is concerned than they do with Sydney or Wollongong.
The states shoudl be broken up into about a dozen or so regions such as Sydney, Central West,Central Australia, The pilbara etc. But councils should be abolished.
The new regional governments woudl take care of all functions currently run by council and some of the states issues, but major things liek electricity, trains, hospitals and schools, highways and the law would be federal.
