Assessment Task Description
You are required to complete the following assessment:
Question 1:
During the Covid-19 Pandemic, we observed that despite being part of the same country, each Australian state and territory responded differently to manage the pandemic. On the other hand, the power to open the Australian borders for international students and visitors seems to be in the hands of the Federal Government only. However, tax can be imposed on us both by the Federal and State governments. For example, income tax is collected by the federal government, but stamp duty is payable to the state government.
In the context of the above statements, analyse how the Australian Constitution has divided law making powers between the Federal Government and the States. (12 marks)
