Aussieboy for once were on the same song sheet. Decentralization is the answer. Small cities, or large towns are much more efficient than huge great cities. We did a little in the 60s, then lost the will.

Much of Europe developed this way, with all staff, at all levels, living in walking distance, or at least in horse & buggy distance of their workplace.

One of the things I found excellent in Melbourne is the regional nature of much of it.

Places like Frankston & Geelong have areas catering to the low paid, & the company manager all within short distances of the industrial areas.

First we should move all public servants out of CBDs to the periphery of the cities.

Second convert Canberra to a huge old age center, & move all bureaucrats out to the electorates. Equity would demand the same number, of the same grades, be employed in each electorate.

Thirdly, lets move all ABC production facilities, & management functions to Longreach. With that one, there is no sense contaminating too many areas of the country with this rabble.
