A Two-Tier Australian National State

Sir Henry Parkes' vision for a federation of Australia over a hundred years ago to unite six separate British self-governing colonies to secede from the British Empire into an independent federation of the British Commonwealth was a logical first step for our new Australia back then.

Failings of our current constitutional monarchy ruled by three tiers of government, with democracy undermined by unaccountable government between four year term elections, necessitates Australian constitutional reform and for discussion to commence amongst Australians.
