I hesitate to have faith in cando-Newman’s ability to improve Queensland society, economy, industry, and environment (or any one of them) until he demonstrates an ability, before breakfast or afterwards, to carry out a number of the impossible things expected of him.
There are are a fistful of these, but two will do for an indication of progress:
A) Overcome infrastructure (electricity, water, transport, etc.) funding (already deficient) for a population - by fostering an ever-increasing population needing ever-increasing infrastructure ?
B) Find many mile-deep gorges in Queensland. Just one will do - the crest of the highest mountain in Queensland just approximates a mile above sea level.

when diverted westward
Rhrosty,
A hundred years ago they talked about the Bradfield scheme. The ignoramuses of course knocked it on the head. Just as any proposal nowadays is knocked by the Greens.
There will always be people who can't comprehend that changing a river course is merely copying nature not going against it.

The Bradfield Scheme - the holy grail of the misinformed. How many more times does it need to be comprehensively debunked? Its misconceptions get cut limb from limb on a regular basis; yet it comes back every decade or so (and now more regularly) for another pruning - in the manner of a Monty Python re-run. The first comprehensive debunking on a scientific basis occurred in 1947, and this at no time has been overcome by the ever-wishful proponents of growth in their recurring visits to the idea.

This whole growth discussion is redundant.
You do not get a choice on whether to have growth or not.
It is not dependant on decisions by people or by application of money.

It is dependant on energy. If the energy surplus is not there then
there will be no growth.
So, as we are already at the peak of energy, therefore there will be
no growth.
End of discussion.
