The federation was created BY the states and the FEDERAL constitution requires a majority of votes in a majority of states, for a referendum to be passed. ... While I agree that I'd like to see the states abolished, from the point of view of having too much government, it's less likely to happen than abolishing the federation. As I said above, the states give the federation its powers and states like Qld and WA are less than likely to allow the federation to take away their powers.
So it's just a small matter of bootstrapping. We've got the kernel in memory now, so we (the majority of the people in the majority of the states) can just pass a referendum to clear the memory of the state processes. kill -9 wheee! -- Tim Connors
