The Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) yesterday released a 193-page report entitled A Federation for the 21st Century, which examines key issues for Australia’s federal system of government and assesses what can be done to improve the current structure and policy outcomes.
The report identifies key areas where changes, such as how taxes are allocated to states, could improve the delivery of core services including public transport, education, roads, health and welfare, as well as how a range of reforms could reshape the nature of the Federation and make it more responsive to the needs of Australians.
