Australia (State Governments)
Australia’s state governments are regional authorities responsible for local laws, services, and policies within their respective territories—such as health, education, transportation, and public safety. Each of Australia's six states (like New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, etc.) has its own parliament, premier, and government departments, enabling tailored governance suited to local needs. They operate independently from the federal government, which manages nationwide issues like defense and immigration. This federal system balances power between state and national levels, allowing states to effectively address regional interests while cooperating on broader national concerns.
