Population Growth

Ah, something we can agree on, Neferti!

With today's communications and the possibility of improved infrastructure, there is no reason why industry must be tied to a capital city.

Immigration is a necessity. However, we should be SELECTIVE.

Oh, and I liked the idea that International Uni Students (whose parents pay large sums) should be sent to country Universities ... not the major cities.

New migrants should be diverted to country areas too.

I remember the Victoria Government had Campbell Soups set up their factory in the country (Shepparton?) so that there was an industry in a regional centre to supply EMPLOYMENT for the locals.

New South Wales and other States could do the same. Then migrants (and the unemployed) have some jobs to apply for. Sydney is FULL but country centres are not, but they need incentive for migrants to move there.

O/S parents will send their children to the Unis with the best reputation and rating...

If the idiots in government think all regions and country towns want or need migrants they are kidding themselves.
