Indeed, but it does go to the heart of the Commonwealth, in that it is a Federation brought about by the States themselves. I was always quite happy with the status quo until recent events.
It was annoying to watch people with no actual knowledge of responsibility, putting the blame at ScoMo's feet for the Bushfires. It's also not a Federal matter in a pandemic, but Aged Care is of course. If this was to become the catalyst for change in these matters, then I'd have no issue at all. It's just a matter of getting all those 'dumbass' Premiers to agree to the relinquishment of their States power. At the end of the day, when push comes to shove, the States have acted like independent Nations so our Island status has been muted somewhat.
When QEII departs & there's a solid push for a Republic...again...then perhaps that'll be the time to make a few other changes. Bottom line, get your kids into Law because this is gonna be a cash cow for decades!
