My point:
Now to my ____ point that three-levelled governments, benefit Australian states. Every resident in Australia depends on the link of the local, state and federal government. From garbage collection to immigration. Without even one of the three-levelled governments too much work and responsibility will be put on the local and federal governments, which may cause the destruction of all three governments. Without the state government, which one will take care of the health of Australians, the important education each and every student gets, the law and order and much more? Even if this role is evenly divided into the local and federal government it will still be too much for them. For example, the local government already has roads and footpaths to take care of, the planning of the towns and buildings, garbage collection and so many more. Also, the federal government has our country’s defence, foreign policy immigration issues, trade and commerce, our currency and many more. How could these governments cope with more work and more areas to cover? So my team and I believe that states and territories should not be abolished.
