The more time I spent working in the QLD public service, the more obvious it seems to me that abolishing state govt in favour of Federal and larger council areas is the best way to go.
The issue is how big a council area should be. Small councils lack the resourcing needed to provide the citizenry with what is needed. Plus there's vast administrative waste with duplication of duties.
Maybe it's more a solution of Federal, councils, and a shared administrative body that can handle the mundane back room tasks like payment processing, printing, Web services, etc etc.
It'll never happen, much like the two state solution. Can we even use that phrase right now?

I've changed it to a "two-state suggestion".
