What the paper says
By the twenty-first century there can be few federal nations as centralised as Australia. The Canadian provinces have been much more successful than Australian states in retaining their power of taxation and their autonomy in areas such as education or health. Why has this happened when the Canadian constitution was explicitly aimed at limiting states' rights and the Australian constitution was intended to avoid the centralisation of the Canadian Constitution?
