Absolute total garbage - protecting our great country is not biggotry!!!!! you fool. Why don't you play the racist card as well ????
Out roads are already totally overcrowded in the capital cities. We don't have enough water to use, our hospitals have extraordinary long waiting lists and law and order is going down the shitter.
Melbourne (and Sydney) are totally full - it is misguided attitudes like yours that are destroying our once great country.
BTW; nice attempt at a slur by saying I read the Herald-Sun (I only read the AFR by the way).
Has all of the alcohol you drunk depleted your brain cells ??? You sound like a very nasty diturbed person.
Protecting our country from people fleeing civil war and genocide because they have no where else to go? Or allowing migrants to relocate to-do unskilled work that you dont want to-do because it doesnt pay enough and puts food on your table by keeping the price of apples low? Yep, the govt is doing a piss poor job at that.
Our cities are overcrowed becuse industry, government and too many bigshots with their hand dipped in the honey pot did not read the signs that our urban sprawl was growing at a rate that our current infrastructure could not handle. Look at Melbournes train system, its 30 years out of date. Most people in the ourter burbs need to drive 3-4 suburbs just to get transport into the city.
Our roads are overcrowed because of the lack of
alternate transport infrastructure development. No, roads are not the answer (we have the liberal govt to thank for that). you can sustain an 'overcrowded' city with great public infrastructure. Look at HKG and SNG for example.
There is no need
EVER for a vehicle driven by a civilian without a business purpose in the heart of the city.
The jest of the Herald Sun was because your view is in line with those "f*CK off we're full" stickers. If you think our country can only be sustained if everyone has to live on a double block, you're wrong.
As for the water issue, it doesnt exist for 3/4 of the country, their solutions are already in place. Places like Lorne dont even know what water restricions are! Its a case of catchments in the wrong areas and govt sitting with their thumb up their arse doing a raindance.
RO/de-sal water, get used to it. The rest of the world has.
Pollux,
I agree with where you are coming from and even still, with the red earth parts removed we would still be out of the top 50. Shit, you could fit the UK almost inside Victoria and they are out of the top 50. They still have plenty of farm land and and open earth. Its infrastructure thats the problem, not ovecrowding.
Sorry guys, not going on about this anymore as its dragging the thread off topic. If somone wants to continue it, start a new thread.
