We all know that Australia has six states and two territorial areas.
The six states are
- The largest Western Australia,
- Queensland, the second largest area,
- The best economy in New South Wales,
- The most volatile state of Victoria,
- The granary cellar in Australia, South Australia,
- The source of the world is Tasmania.
The two territories are:
- Australian capital Canberra, capital territory,
- The true origins of Australia, the Northern Territory.
There are still a few seven, eight, eight islands around, let alone today.
What we`re going to say today is a very imaginative proposal!
There`s been a proposal to merge South Australia and the North Territory!
The merger changed its name to State of Centralia--, Central State!
Sounds like a bully watch, isn`t it?
Even more rumored news that this seemingly impossible big action, may in a few months will be formed!
In fact, the idea of merging the Northern Territory and South Australia was not entirely fantastical.
The Northern Territory (North Territary) was governed by South Australia between 1863 and 1911.
By the 1920s, it had been proposed to divide Adelaide to Darwin into South Australia`s (South Australia), North Australia`s (North Australia), and Central Australia`s (Central Australia), but in the end it was just a idea..
The Northern Territory did not gain territorial autonomy until 1978.
01 different views
There are now divergent views on the merger of South Australia and the Northern Territory.
Former Australian Deputy Prime Minister Tim Fischer expressed support for this.
The former Northern Territory Justice minister John Elferink also expressed his firm support for the idea of a merger.
Because connecting Adelaide and Darwin across the Australian mainland railway line will bring more opportunities for Australia.
Mr Elferink also suggested repealing the Northern Territory`s self-government bill to create a new Centralia state.
He said the merger would have the resources to compete with Western Australia and would help boost Australia`s trade with Asia.
02 Darwin`s "wounds"
As one of Australia`s most important ports, the port of Darwin is clearly the nearest port to Asia.
But over the years, economic growth has been slow and far below the status of port cities on the east coast.
There are even fewer visitors to Darwin than Adelaide outside 4000km.
Let`s not talk about international flights, on domestic flights from major state capitals to Darwin or Alice Springs direct fares, than East Coast cities between flights are much more expensive ah!
A recent article discussed how Darwin could become a gateway between Australia and Asian countries.
How to attract airlines to open more direct flights, let more cruise ships stop, and so on.
03 the gap between ideal and reality
In theory, the merger of the Northern Territory and South Australia also seems to give greater play to the role of Darwin and bring more direct benefits to South Australia.
A merger between the two states could provide a "real gateway to Asia" for local companies, according to the head of Business SA.
If South Australia and the Northern Territory really merge, Australia`s inland trade with Asia will be smoother.
But with the Northern Territory in economic crisis, the concept is unlikely to attract interest in South Australia.
Former South Australian Governor Jay Weatherill is also keen to establish closer economic and cultural ties with the Northern Territory.
But South Australia`s current government, led by Steven Marshall, apparently has little interest in the North Territory, a big spender.
And politicians in the Northern Territory believe that the people of the Northern Territory have been fighting for so many years,
Finally got the autonomy in 1978, how can so easily give up!
04 long way to go
But if politicians really want to continue, they will need the support of the North Territory and South Australia in the first place.
However, the scope of the Centralia, how to deal with it will probably become a new problem.
05 never stop the brain
In fact, Australians have never stopped thinking about how they are going to divide this piece of mainland.
For example, some people suggested that Australia be divided into 24 states!
Others say Australia should divide states by population distribution.
Some people say no, you all stop, let Western Australia WA, South Australia SA and the Northern Territory NT merge!
Look at the name. I`ve made up my mind. It`s WASANT, to read wasn. 39!
06 restless Western Australia and Queensland
Western Australia and Queensland, which occupy the largest area, want to be independent from time to time.
[64CA6F95-C067-4343-856C-C88ABD16180F]
In 1933, 2/3 of the state`s population favoured Western Australia`s independence.
Because Western Australia is the largest area, mineral resources are the backbone of Australia`s economy, Western Australia`s iron ore resources are sufficient to support a new mineral empire. Western Australia suspected that they earn money to subsidize the east of those poor sound broke down, the heart is unbalanced ah! When the mining industry starts to go downhill and Western Australia`s economy is bad, they don`t yell about independence!
Besides, Queensland, the second largest in area, is not an oil-saving lamp. Not long ago, the northern part of Queensland said, "I want to split up!"
The reason is: we are big and strong enough, I want to bring myself salt!
But with northern Queensland first swept by hurricanes, burned by wildfires, and then swept by hurricanes, they should no longer want to split up.
