Great article - well argued and clear. I hadn't joined the dots with the financial framework legislation, but it confirms the lack of accountability that makes this proposal so problematic. Councils mostly seem to support this legislation - they should be careful what they wish for.

And they wonder why people regard politicians as the lowest of any group that can be trusted.

Thanks it has got my NO vote.

I believe this is the third time the issue of constitutional recognition has been tested, hopefully the clowns will realize NO means NO after the third failure. Mind you Queensland solar power people have fought their particular battle three times already with no guarantee the third will be the last.
