Where to for Australian Federalism?

Edited by Robert Carling with contributions from Cheryl Saunders, Jonathan Pincus, Wolfgang Kasper, Cliff Walsh and Ken Baxter.  These papers all give general support to Australia's current Structure of government, but see room for improvement in the way the system functions.  They explains why the Australian brand of fiscal federalism is continuing to impose economic costs and deny us the potential benefits of a federal structure, notwithstanding the GST-based reforms that have already taken place.
