State of North Queensland - Proposed Borders

Proposed Borders

There has been limited consideration on where the southern border of the new state would be. Most seem to be around the central part of the state, just south of Gladstone. Others call for the border to be just south of Mackay, and for another state of Central Queensland be formed. It has also been suggested to merge with the Northern Territory and become the new state of Northern Australia, although this proposal has been dismissed by many, saying that the reason for splitting Queensland is to make a smaller state.

Famous quotes containing the words proposed and/or borders:

    We have no one to blame for the Kennedys but ourselves. We took the Kennedys to heart of our own accord. And it is my opinion that we did it not because we respected them or thought what they proposed was good, but because they were pretty. We, the electorate, were smitten by this handsome, vivacious family.... We wanted to hug their golden tousled heads to our dumpy breasts.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    Love works at the centre,
    Heart-heaving alway;
    Forth speed the strong pulses
    To the borders of day.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
