That we should get rid of state governments in Australia

In rebuttal to your first paragraph, I am not saying that we should have only one layer in government, the topic clearly states that it will only be the abolishment of state governments, this will leave both the federal government and the local government. There are currently 322 members in parliament, with the abolishment this number will only decrease by 90. What is ninety on a scale of 22 million people? 232 members will still be in parliament, which would still allow them to voice their opinion, I am pretty sure that 232 people won"t all be agreeing on the same thing, so there will still be split in opinion. In your last sentence of the first paragraph you have stated that with state government each person is stating their opinion, in reality most of the population isn"t. I am biasing that the abolishment of state government could lead to better health care on the facts, because one health care system would be easier to manage, this could also save money, and time. It would be more efficient because all states would follow the same health regulations. About 3 and a half million Australians live within 100 kilometres of a state or territory border and have a tangle of confusing laws and charges. The annual cost of crazy border anomalies was 4 billion, with 60 percent of this attributed to health and community services. State- run ambulances in border regions often had to travel long distances when it would faster and cheaper if there were no state borders so that the closest ambulance can be sent. The time lost in travel can lead to risk of loss of life. Of course, I for one cannot be certain that it will be successful, but without trying something you will never be able to know if it will be successful, I am offering a new idea that the country could use to further develop and move forward. If it is unsuccessful, we can always go back to the old system. How can you be so certain that it will be unsuccessful? The opposition has stated that its better for multiple health ministers to make decision, this is incorrect because your opinion in a large group of ministers may carry so little weight that it has an extremely small effect on the outcome of the election. This is not to say that your opinion will not count, but you must understand that your opinion may not contribute significantly to the outcome. The opposition has tried to tell you that If there is only one health minister, he will not have anyone who will contradict him, this is false because there are another 231 members of parliament who can tell him that he is wrong. The opposition has said "The state vs federal law that you are describing is merely a way of making decision more fair toward everyone rather not just the federalists or the states. " I would like to ask him what he suggests for decision making to be fairer. The contender has stated that the reduction of state taxes would hurt the government so much. To this I say that it would benefit citizens so much as well as the tax burden on their shoulders will decrease. After all there are 22 million citizens and only 322 members currently in parliament. The contender has also tried to say that state governments leave the citizens happy. My response to this is I am a citizen, and I am not happy, so this is the first reason as to why this statement is incorrect. The second reason, is that a recent survey has shown that over 70% of the population don"t want state government, obviously if it made citizens happy this would not be the case. It could save everyone money, as well as create jobs. State governments are costing taxpayers $30 billion dollars a year, that money could be used on something more beneficial like medical research. Abolishment of state governments will mean that all states will be equal. Isn"t equality what we all want? Getting rid of state governments will increase the local government, it is obvious that the local government has a better understanding of what the community actually needs. From the above it is obvious that state governments are inefficient and a waste of money that is why we should get rid of them, they are outdated and unnecessary.
