Should South Australia and Northern Territory merge?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

That looks more like a de-merger of the Northern Territory

 

[perthblue]

Why?

 

[Nothing]

Yes.

















No.













I'm not sure.

 

[Taylor]

I think Adelaide and Darwin are two very different cultures.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

It would weaken the Australian Government so probably not.

LOL @ splitting the NT but leaving WA as one whole state.

LOL @ an area the size of NSW being deemed uninhabited.

The main reason this is being floated I believe is that our government has been grossly mismanaged, and we have a big debt at the moment. But we could only merge with SA if they were willing to take on all of the responsibilities and problems of the hundreds of indigenous communities. Last thing they need is to be further marginalised and forgotten.

It would definitly work,but you'd have to call it Centrelinkia.
Ayer's Rock could be the capital.

 

[GreyCrow]

An opportunity to carve up all of Australia

FNQ from Townsville up and Darwin/Katherine to be sliced off and one state.

Central Australia is now South Australias

 

[PoppedCorn]

I've got a better idea

Leave it the **** alone

 

[Billy ray]

WA and NT and QLD and NZ should all merge.
have the bastards surrounded

I laughed out loud!

I've always loved THIS old map (1838) of Australia, and the proposed 'states':

The idea of living in an area called Flindersland appealed to me as he's my favourite explorer.

Funny seeing where Victoria and Tasmania are, and Melburnians and Sydneysiders would all be in the same state

Tassie will come to our rescue.

Our debt would be wiped over-night were our government to develop some balls & start representing it's people by making the multi-nats, who are stripping our assets, pay their taxes.

But it hasn't got any....So it'll continue to pick on the poor dole-bludgers, so as to increase the size of Murdoche, Lowy & Kagan's pockets all the more.

Yeah...Don't mind the idea of splitting the central corridor into 3 disparate states....With Alice Springs as the Capital of Central Australia.

Probs a good idea to split up both of W/A & Queensland also.....All the One Nation supporters can be herded together into the new district of Bogan-ville.

Imagine the towing fees?....Aye Karumba.....No short-cut through the Suez there.

Just get rid of all the State governments and have 2 levels of government, have more localized decision making via councils who are better funded and overseen of course. The federals take care of the big picture items.

I've long been an advocate of this strategy. We are way over-governed and the State tier should be removed.
I am yet to see one credible justification for their existence.

I see you and raise you Annastacia Palaszczuk and Jackie Trad, and that's just Qld.
We will always have meatheads in power in Canberra, regardless of their political persuasion. Why replicate them 8 times around the country?
