If we just had one Government we would still have the same level of administration to achieve the same level of work. The current system allows us to remove administrations at different levels we do not think are doing the job.

One of the problems is that for the State Governments to provide the services they are responsible for health, education etc, big ticket items, they are either too small like Tasmania or they have inadequate revenue raising capabilities. The States lost their financial independence long ago when they hand their income taxing rights over to the Federal Government.
As for Local Government, many are nothing more than basket cases, too small, too inefficient to be run professionally. Here in NSW we have been having a long, long debate about amalgamation of local councils, with a small amount of rationality in the debate, and a huge amount of political clap trap dominating the discussion, from all sides of politics.

I live Council area in NSW with three administration offices because the area is large and has three developing city areas. Reducing Councils does not reduce administration as each Administration needs the same administrative offices as one large Council. One Mayor covers the three and rates are paid to the head office. Small local Councils are most preferable as they see local needs.

I basically agree with Suse. The last thing I would want would to be governed by a government some thousands of kilometers away, controlled by the numbers in 3 cities.

We should get councils back to core duties, & get them the hell out of things they are not qualified to do, & reduce their staffing by 3/4. Roads, sewage & waste are enough for them.

I don't think there is any chance, under any system, governments can pay for everything out lefties believes it should, without going broke or taxing all our income away.

Yep the communist model, which proved so disastrous elsewhere won't work here, even is introduced stealthily.

OK thoughts please
By 2018, all the nations local council boundaries are set.
The next federal election there is no two party preferred, share your votes its first past the post gets the job.
All revenue collected dispersed evenly inline with local council population, sure some twiking will need to go on, but I sure the duplication and waste will be scrutinised.
No more spending up the saving from the previous budget to ensure you get your full allowance of funds which goes on willy nilly.
The local government will control there own local welfare issues the national government will control defence, federal laws, maybe GST, infrasturcture, roads, education standards.

Your thoughts how are we going got them creative juicies working
