What do State Governments in Australia do?

State governments are one of the three tiers of government in Australia, but what do they do? There are 8 state and territory governments and parliaments in Australia and they all are responsible for a huge range of laws and services from emergency services to public infrastructure and way more. In this episode I'll not just give you a list of responsibilities/legislative powers of the states and territories but also explain why the list is significantly longer than is possible to contain in a video and also what the constitutional relationship is between states, local and federal power.Support the channel on patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/AuspolExplainedFollow me on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/auspolexplained.bsky.social Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auspolexplained/ Like Auspol Explained on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Auspol-Explained-107892180702388Auspol Explained would like to acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people and their Elders as the owners and custodians of the Land that the episode was recorded and edited on.
