Plainly, Andrew, either type of geoernmvnt could do this, but the point is that a regional geoernmvnt wouldn't have the size or complexity of the brief that a Federal geoernmvnt could have in areas such as IR, Education, Infrastructure, Health, Human Services, etc This functionality would largely fall outside their domain (at least at policy level). They could be advising what they'd like and putting proposals and administering or coordinating programs within their bailiwicks, but overall policy direction and the framework for roll out, auditing and compliance would be a level up.
