	Premiers of the Australian states - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Premiers of the Australian states are the heads of the executive governments in the six states of the Commonwealth of Australia.
		The Australian states were originally founded as British colonies, and executive power was held by a Governor (or sometimes a Lieutenant-Governor) appointed by the British Government (see Governors of the Australian states).
		Although the legislative powers of the states are defined in the Constitution, the real power of the Australian Premiers has been declining steadily ever since Federation in 1901, as the power and responsibility of the national government has expanded at the expense of the states.

		AUSTRALIAN premiers wouldn't have the guts to walk away from the Federal Government's national water reform plan because they knew it was a groundbreaking deal, Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson said today.
		Labor premiers have written to Prime Minister John Howard to announce they would pull out of the national water initiative because of the Government's plan to withdraw $1.6 billion in competition payments to pay for the water promises.
		Mr Anderson said it was a clear political stunt that Labor premiers chose to withdraw from the historic agreement on water sharing on the same day Opposition Leader Mark Latham announced efforts to save the Murray River.

	Australia's Privatized Retirement System: Lessons for the United States
		By 1983, all Australians over the age of 69 received a full age pension regardless of income, and the rules for men 65 to 69 years old and women from 60 to 69 years old were so lax that almost all of them qualified for a full age pension as well.
		Australian policymakers are largely satisfied with the core components of their newly privatized retirement system.
		Australian leaders Bob Hawke and Paul Keating stressed that superannuation was the key to obtaining higher retirement incomes.

		For as long as pollsters have been asking the question, Australian voters consistently say that Labor is the best party to handle health, education, welfare and social issues.
		And in Australia, there is a division of responsibilities between the state and federal levels that follows these lines of responsibility, these political gender roles.
		The states are responsible for delivering services - health and education, for instance - while the national government has unique responsibilities for national security and management of the economy.
