Super-States
The 'Super-States' introduced here are:
- All States - 32 States
- Great Barrier Reef - A, AG, AF, AE
- Antarctica - Q, W
- Pilbara - M, L, R
- Kimberley - J, K
- Arnhem Land - F, G, H
- Gulf of Carpentaria - B, C, D, E, F, G
- Cape York Peninsula - A, B
There are 'other things' as important as the issues implied by the recognition of these 'Super-States', but because they can be handled by one State alone, do not require Super-State recognition. The Super-State is where more than one State needs to act in concert, for real changes to occur.
There are important Super-State requirements not mentioned here, because the arrangement will need to be worked out. Fishing, for instance, may result in a number of Super-States, depending on the need for various States to act in concert, to protect the maritime environments around Australia. Zones may overlap; so a State may be involved in more than one Super-State, on a particular issue.
An issue that affects all Australians, such as foreign policy, defence, border protection, is usually a Federal Government issue, but not always. The Super-State 'All States' is where there is clearly a 'State' issue but it applies to all States, or requires all States to act in concert for the plan to proceed. A good example is fishing; fishing is obviously, and needs to be, State-based1 but all States need to act in concert in relation to protection of the border from poaching from international waters.
Special Super-State Senators elected by voters in 'All States' are State-based, not Federal, positions.
