    The problem is that people may feel strongly, for example, about uniform national road laws and regulations, but there is no support (or very little) to even discuss the political changes that are necessary for these to happen.

    The other issue is that although many people want uniform regulations, what they expect is every other state and territory coming into line with us!

    When it comes to us making changes to come into line with the rest, especially when it comes to serious issues such as driving age - forget it!
    True. Sad but true.

    Although, Aviation and now Maritime are Federal, so there is a glimmer of hope.

    The states are already so dependent on the federal government for GST revenue that there is no way they would consider handing over any more revenue to them.
    That's a pity as these things really should be national.
    Maybe the best we could hope for would be better cooperation between the states to standardize the charges and processes.

    Aviation has been federal since states referred their powers to the federal government when aviation was just starting. Some aspects of maritime have also been federal since federation, but I was not aware that all maritime was now federal - last I noticed boat registration, boat operating licences, fishing licences etc were all state issued!

    Private Boat registration, Speedboat and PWC licences and policing, are still with the States but all Commercial Certification, for both Vessels and Competencies, ere now under the control of AMSA.

    In other words, everything that concerns 90% of the voters! And I suspect about as likely to change as licencing.

    Console yourself with the fact that at least licences etc are valid interstate!
