Australian Constitutional Law: “It is ironic that in recent years the federal-based Liberal Party has made greater moves towards centralization of authority than were ever achieved by the Labor Party. In matters of education, health, housing, Aboriginal affairs and environment. Commonwealth ministers either have taken over, or have spoken of their wish to take over, state responsibilities.
Whatever the problems, the ultimate solution does not rest in saying or believing that all wisdom rests in Canberra.
The philosophical importance of the separation of powers cannot be overstated. It is essential for the maintenance of a vigorous democracy”. Former Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser
Consider this quotation in the context of the present constitutional balance of power between the Commonwealth Government and State governments, and in the light of the recent incursions by the present Federal Government into areas of responsibility traditionally the province of the States.
Do you agree with Mr Fraser’s comments. If so, why? If not, why not?
