Record mining and agriculture booms from Central Queensland prop up government budgets in Brisbane and Canberra. Yet those same governments rip critical infrastructure funding for dams, roads and power stations out of regional queensland. The rip-off has been going on too long and must stop, regional Queensland deserves its fair share.

Thank you, Senator Roberts – I feel safer knowing the valiant work you are doing
Australia’s land mass is very similar (a tad smaller) than the 48 states that make up the contiguous land mass of the USA. Instead of 48 states, Australia has just 8 states and territories. I have long believed that North Queensland has nothing in common with the south and that there is a very powerful argument for a separate state in the north. In the current Queensland it appears that most of the money earned comes from the north and most of the money spent ends up in the Sunshine Coast/Brisbane/Gold Coast region.
Split the state in two.
Ditto this argument in Western Australia. The Kimberley and Pilbara have nothing in common with the south of the state and are clearly financially viable as a standalone state / province / county.
Historic lines drawn arbitrarily on a map a couple of hundred years ago are getting in the way of the most effective management of Australia’s resources.
That’s the only way to fix it.
Totally agree with Senator Roberts/OneNation policies ideas.. they are spot on. The trouble is we get too many “sheeples” (people who have no common sense) There is no quick fix. We need to get rid of the idea of getting voted in and have one vote – no preferences!!! If they quit making sneaky changes to the constitution we could get rid of the two party preferences!! Love to see One Nation lead us.
The molly codling of the south, by government has been one of long standing. Historically it is one of the reasons of the gerrymander blamed on the Joh years which, in truth was introduced in the previous labor years, and only adjusted by the Country party to suit their ends. While I agree that there should be a new state in the north. I would be reluctant to vote for it, as it would only mean more politicians. six more senators for a start. If I were to vote for a new state, things would have to change to accommodate the ideas of Professor Roderick from James cook University, who laid out a proposal that all state government departments be dispersed to various towns throughout the new state, thereby injecting wealth and people power (elected members) throughout the region. instead of concentrating them in an area like around Brisbane, thereby increasing the political power in one area. IE; Mt Isa has the mines department Chartes Towers has the Education department, etc. It is certainly possible now with computers, more so than back in the sixties when he made the proposal during a time of new state mania at the time. North Queenslanders should critically think about the fact that all the profits made by the Railways are from the northern and central divisions , subsidizing the fares of the passengers in South east Queensland, yet how much does it cost them on their passenger trains to the south.
