This writer comes to this site, with an agenda of, I believe, unregulated development and bigger and bigger cities wich grow like topsy and spawn, beggars belief, corruption!? As always, seems to sid with the profit-hungry developers and their agendas?

Once one drives inland by less than 100 kilometres, one finds a vast empty land just begging for some intelligent development! e.g., Rapid rail and pipelines pumping desalinated water out there.

Yes I know, that'll require huge energy input! And impossible for a country welded by the most asinine energy policies, by the dumbest politicians ever to polish treasury benches an waste billions of taxpayer funds annually, as they seek to preserve an admin no longer fit for purpose, but rather, has like our legendary state governments, become a stinking financial albatross around the nation's neck!

Yes, there are some regulations we just don't need, and for sure and certain the one that must go first is the one that prohibits the development of for peaceful purpose, nuclear energy! Namely, MSR applications!
