Proponents of New States

Some members of the National Party (former Country Party) have been especially supportive of new states, since they believe it would decentralise Australia and benefit rural areas more.

In addition to the above, Bryan Pape, National Party official and senior lecturer in law at the University of New England, has suggested further subdivision of Victoria and the following states, resulting in possibly as many as twenty Australian states: A suggested reorganisation of Australia's states could include:

  • Central Australia
  • Northern Australia
    • Arnhem/Kakadu
  • Queensland
    • Carpenteria
    • Cape York/North Queensland
  • South Australia
    • Whyalla
    • Eyre Peninsula
  • Victoria
    • Gippsland
    • Ballarat-Bendigo/Goldfields
    • Wimmera-The Mallee
  • Western Australia
    • Kimberley
    • Pilbara

Famous quotes containing the word states:

    ... no young colored person in the United States today can truthfully offer as an excuse for lack of ambition or aspiration that members of his race have accomplished so little, he is discouraged from attempting anything himself. For there is scarcely a field of human endeavor which colored people have been allowed to enter in which there is not at least one worthy representative.
    Mary Church Terrell (1863–1954)
