Comments on: People and where to put them. It’s about time we have this debate. http://suebrooks.com.au/2009/people-and-where-to-put-them-its-about-time-we-have-this-debate/ The Blog of Sue Brooks, Hervey Bay - Fraser Coast Sat, 12 May 2012 06:18:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sadman http://suebrooks.com.au/2009/people-and-where-to-put-them-its-about-time-we-have-this-debate/comment-page-1/#comment-908 Sadman Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:53:36 +0000 http://suebrooks.com.au/?p=629#comment-908 De-centralisation is without doubt the way to go. It is surely better to use existing infrastructure, than have to build new? There are many country towns with all of life's essentials, roads, schools, hotels, parks, shops etc. The only problem could or would be a lack of employment. To de-centralise well the government would have to pick town and areas where there is the potential for industry of various kinds. In the case of migrants, the government should tell them where to go for their first two years. Hopefully after two years they will have taken root. One of our great government weaknesses, is how they handle the unemployed. How can we talk of skills and labour shortages when we have 6-7% unemployement? People should be given a travell voucher a time and date for an interview and sent. Once settled in, the families should be given relocation assistance, all too simple isn't it.

I for one can not see Labor actually pulling this one off or more importantly, supporting de-centralisation. I'd love to be proven wrong.
