I do not know what you are talking about but I was referring to Vic and NSW. We will always need more roads. Vic is in urgent need of more public transport.

isn't the most unrepresentative swill of all local government? I do not know what that says.

Local govt; You mean council I take it. Well that too can happen with the town run with an admistrator, But that is going to put a lot more on the state central govt; So I don’t think you would save anything.

The size of federal govt can be slashed by miles by having the 2 states run by their own state govt;

There would be a lot of different scenario’s that could be adopted. It’s a matter of getting the will power together to want to implement change.

Pm’s are notorious at becoming power drunk, and then you can have wont power instead of will power.

If anybody is up for change it will be Turnbull, he has nothing to prove, and not in need of sustenance

Without the foreign exchange earned by WA & Queensland mining, NSW & Victoria would not have most electrical or electronic gear or appliances. They would by now be reduced to pick & shovel for infrastructure development, dur to lack of export earnings to pay for equipment.

It is time to do some study on the facts of life doog.

Every body needs the facts of life exposed to them.

Sorry hasbeen can you slow down a bit , and watch what you are writing. I do not understand what you are conveying.

Vic is not exactly short of export commodity. We have massive Brown Coal reserves. Power generation is not a problem, all grids are connected through 5 states and one territory.

Coal mining is all but stuffed in QLD isn’t it. What is the exchange rate between AU $ and Chinese money.

doog, comrades Whitlam, Hawke, Keating, Rudd, Gillard & Rudd have been closing down every PRODUCTIVE industry other than quarrying, farming & tourism ever since 1972.

Services industries are parasitical businesses that provide services to PRODUCTIVE industries & their employees. There are only 3 cows in the paddock now. How many ticks can 3 cows carry? How long before they all die of tick fever?

is borrowing money to create jobs, building public housing to put migrants on welfare in it, a good business model?

The mob that owns some QLD coal mining is 30 billion in debt, and scaling down. So it may have been a good idea if they had closed down earlier.

Cows and ticks. You can answer that one. We do not have ticks in Vic.
What we need is to create jobs desperately, if that means stimulating the economy to achieve that, well that would be good business sense.

Building Public housing is always going to be in need, no matter who you put in it. I would say that business model does stack up, infrastructure is always a positive and should be more of it.
By the way your comment is structured I would say it was politically loaded.
The only political faction that would have grounds to be selective at who goes into public housing is the far right Conservative faction of the Liberal party.

I am not selective at all, anyone that is in need of public housing should be randomly selected to occupy that dwelling. I do not have that sort of a problem.

I see people as equal human beings, I would not make a good racist. I rely on the law of the land to keep our nation in good lawful state. I would not believe in people taking issues into their own hands to resolve, any sort of law and order problems.

This is why we need excellent Government, to keep us safe, and enforce laws of the land. I say we are doing really well in that department. With PM Turnbull as our head Honcho we are in for the ride of a lifetime. Hopefully.

imacentristmoderate, what do you regard as PRODUCTIVE industries? How do you think our Labor PMs have been shutting them down? And do you think our Liberal PMs haven't?

Are you referring to the slashing of tariffs, which allowed the market to shut our low productivity industries down?
