State government versus federal government !

Some of our state governments have policies to improve the efficiency of our resource usage. Our federal government is just making things up day by day and only makes a change when it includes an increase in taxes.


The Victorian state government, the second largest state based on population, builds new railway lines along side new freeways. At the federal level, the government builds new roads but never new rail.

The state governments started all the moves to biofuels. The previous federal government, the opposite to the current one, jumped on some biofuel plans and encouraged them through different tax levels. The current federal government opposed the biofuel initiatives and is going to introduce a carbon tax to disadvantage the renewable biofuels by decreasing the difference in price.
