flag Australia’s tax revenue hits a record $1 trillion, but outdated federal structure hinders progress despite calls for reform.

flag Australia’s governments are set to collect over $1 trillion in taxes and fees for the first time, a record high funding essential services. flag Despite this, many leaders and experts say the 1901 federal system is outdated, contributing to inefficiencies, inconsistent regulations across states, and stagnant economic growth. flag Critics, including Treasurer Jim Chalmers, call the fragmented structure a barrier to progress, citing overlapping responsibilities, excessive elected officials, and wasted spending. flag Growing calls for federation reform aim to modernize governance and improve outcomes in housing, health, and national productivity.
