The Greens leader [Di Natale]..denied that her [Sarah Hanson-Young's] well-publicised struggle to explain superannuation policy during the campaign made her a bad choice for the finance portfolio, arguing "it's hardly a hanging offence for people to make a mistake"..

The reshuffle would provide "a good opportunity for [Senator Hanson-Young] to demonstrate that she is somebody who can engage in the economic debate in a really sophisticated way," Senator Di Natale told ABC News 24"

Reminiscent of Rudd747 putting Penny Wong (his 'Dr No', LOL) into the finance ministry. Can they perform where there is no set script and they have to do a bit of work? Heavens no.

Who says that Greens leader Richard Di Natale doesn't have a sense of humour.

I suppose the 200yr+ travel time could be a barrier.

Runner,

In principle benefits of the ability to move elsewhere (like another planet), that some could take on, would need to be done with a brave and open mindset.

At present, there are too many humans living on Earth, with a land ownership belief and mentality, a strong level of hatred in their minds that is passing from generation to generation and a feeling by some for a strong need of "border protection" although a border (like a state border), is really only an invisible line that has been developed by human beings.

A new planet that humans could live on, could break down a range of barriers, based on history, lifestyle, race and culture, seeing a new "revitalised" planet, which could be akin to "Heaven on Earth".

It's really something to consider in that context.

One winter morning at the end of the 19th century, 220 Australian socialists sailed out of Sydney harbour on the Royal Tar, bound for the deep green heart of South America.

They were going to Paraguay, to start a ‘New Australia’. It was to be a utopia of equality, fairness for workers, and communal living – and from there, they would change the world. One of the most ambitious schemes in Australian history, it failed miserably; but descendents of those pioneers still live there, and preserve fragments of their Australian past. I climb to the third floor of the Senate building and gaze out over a marshy slum to the Río Paraguay, trying to imagine what those Australian pilgrims thought as they steamed slowly up the river all those years ago.

Their story starts with a financial crash in Argentina which triggered an economic depression in Australia. In February 1891, Queensland shearers, faced with pay cuts to their already meagre wages, walked off the job by the thousands._ argentina independent

Beach. you could pull one of those slick property deals of yours. Sell some unsuspecting time travelers an unwanted asteroid or two at an inflated price!

Probably it will need a hologram virtual border fence between Earth and b Centauri. Laser Tasers and IED stealth bombs will deter gate crashers.
