Australia

Australia has three levels of government, Federal, State, and Local. All levels work together to govern Australia but each level has different responsibilities.

The Federal Government is necessary for the big things. This government is responsible for enacting laws, defense, taxation, telecommunications, and external affairs.

The State governments look after the middle-sized things. For example, they look after industrial relations and preventing things like vandalism in school.

Local government looks after the small things, they look after things like garbage collection, local parks, and reserves.

Thus, we can conclude that the three levels of government above are necessary.
