Cinderella state is a term used in Australian politics by people who regard their state to be financially or politically disadvantaged, neglected, or unrecognised, in comparison to other states.
Public figures from every Australian state have been recorded as regarding their own state as the Cinderella state.
- In Western Australia the term, and its implications were expressed in the 1933 Secession proposal, on the basis of Western Australia's mineral wealth and perceived neglect by the rest of Australia.[1][2]
- Tasmania is regarded as a Cinderella state on the basis of its small size and perceived neglect by the rest of Australia.[3]
- Queensland is sometimes said to be the Cinderella state on the basis of its mineral and agricultural wealth, and perceived neglect by the rest of Australia.[4]

- Victoria has also been called the Cinderella state on the basis of a perception of a disproportionately low share of federal resources.[6]
