Yeee-uzzz - but (there's that but again)... I've already cited the lack of real land available since it is all already enclosed. What do we do? Lob countless thousands of newly-created peons onto a farmer and tell him/her to employ them?
No. We create new states with new cities. Our existing states were British colonies as you are aware. Now It's time we considered creating some of our own. Follow the example of the most successful country on earth, with its 50 states. A starter would be the long overdue state of 'North Queensland'. Put the mouth from the north in charge. He'd be right at home as a state governor with that ten gallon hat of his. NQ would be modeled on it's geographically similar counterpart, Florida USA. With citrus and aquaculture, maybe even a space base.
We've got the example to follow. But what are Aussies doing intead? they're desperately trying to model themselves on the British. Aussieland is a nation in regression I'm afraid. And eventually Aussies will be begging the Brits to take full control. And What would be the first thing the British would do? rearrange AUS to get USA of course. Which wouldn't be a good thing, because we have to establish our own identity as Australians.

I also warn constantly about the rising trend towards totally controlling governments - and they will be welcomed here, as the Nazis were in Germany.
That Aussie need to spitefully penalize others, combined with their nationalism, predisposes them to fascism. And now that we have 'Aussie conservatives' in government federally and in most states, there is an extreme risk of fascism taking effective control. So don't make the mistake of believing that a dictatorship is a prerequisite, because it's not. It was back then in Hitlers' time. But now democratically installed fascism is the risk. And why this is, is because the older more philosophically aware are dying off, being replaced by a generation that has been been raised by TV sets.
There is still time I believe to make the changes necessary to avert disaster, but whether or not an effective political force can be put together, I don't know. Are there actually any patriots in this country, is the real question.
Quote:When your socialists seek a world-wide 'equality for all' at the expense of their own, who go down to deepening poverty as a result, apart from the few privileged or lucky enough not to be in that situation;
and your conservatives only respond by punishing those in that situation more and more for being in that situation, while feathering the nests of the already privileged;
and neither 'side' can effectively handle the employment market, economy, workplace, society in general, and so forth;
and BOTH follow policies of offshoring - internationalising for whatever justifications they can offer to do so;
What happens then, inevitably, is the rise of a Nationalistic and Socialistic form of government with total control, which will set right all these problems and bring at least roughly equal opportunity and prosperity to the majority - who, as said, will welcome the torchlight parades involved etc and will revel in the persecution of those deemed to have been the persecutors in the past.... (something you see right now with the endless jihads against the 'persecutors' of the past - men).
It's called National Socialism....
Put the National interest first - then apply Socialist ideas to benefit the masses by holding tight control over everything in life and dictating who will employ whom, how much they will pay, what conditions will apply, when and where a worker changes jobs, will control rents and property ownership, will dictate who will export what and when, and will approve or disapprove every action, and so forth....
Now - who will we elect Fuhrer?
Footnote:- I see a very clear parallel here between the Weimar Republic and the current collapse of the West..... in some parts of the EEC you see already strong National Socialist movements....
