Question 5 (20 marks) Read Source 1 and answer all the question parts that follow. Source 1 The following is an edited extract from an article published in the Sydney Morning Herald entitled Australian federalism a case study in pride and prejudice, written by Geoff Gallop March 1, Despite the best intentions of the founding fathers of the Australian Constitution, we have never seen an uncompromised application of the federal principle in the government of our nation. It wasn t long before a mixture of elements saw power and influence moving to the centre the financial strength of the Commonwealth, the centralism of the newly emerged Labor Party, the pride and prejudices of Commonwealth politicians and public servants, and the expansive definition of Commonwealth powers by the High Court. Add to that the necessities associated with two world wars, the internationalisation of government that came with the United Nations and the embrace of centralism by the Liberal Party in recent times and it is clear that creeping centralism is a good way to describe our situation. As a result, the Commonwealth has more and the States less revenue-raising capacity than they need (vertical fiscal imbalance). In such circumstances the temptation on the part of the Commonwealth to intrude, influence and control is overwhelming. This being said, the States still play an important role in our system. See next page

16 POLITICS AND LAW 16 Question 6 (20 marks) Read Source 2 and answer all the question parts that follow. Source 2 The following is an edited extract from ABC News entitled WestConnex funding to be scrutinised by Auditor-General after Anthony Albanese, Senate requests, written by James Bullen and staff, updated Thursday May 19, The Federal Government s decision to commit $3.5 billion to Sydney s WestConnex project will be investigated by the Auditor-General after requests from the Opposition s Anthony Albanese and non-government senators. The audit will consider whether the Government followed proper processes to ensure value for money before the funds were committed to the New South Wales Government. Mr Albanese said he requested the audit in January because he believed funding was improperly awarded to the project a 33 kilometre motorway network linking Sydney s west and south-west with the city, airport and Port Botany. In February, a Greens motion was passed by the Senate requesting the Auditor-General investigate Commonwealth funding approvals for both WestConnex and the Perth Freight Link project. It followed an Auditor-General report on the now-defunct East West Link project in Melbourne, which made a number of adverse findings the report (of the Auditor-General) is expected to be tabled in the Autumn 2017 session of Parliament. Meanwhile, the Federal Government has also accused the Opposition of taking contradictory positions on the WestConnex project in an attempt to win over Green votes in Sydney s inner west. While Mr Albanese said he requested the audit because the Government abandoned proper process, the federal Minister for Major Projects Paul Fletcher said Labor provided funding for the project when it was in government and Mr Albanese was trying to back away from his previous support for WestConnex. What we are seeing is Mr Albanese moving away from WestConnex because he is trying to secure votes from the Greens in his inner city electorate of Grayndler, Mr Fletcher said. See next page
