The drive to dramatically increase South Australia’s population, ("The Advertiser", 15. Feb. 2008, p.5) reflects a basic instinct exhibited by all forms of life, but in the case of humanity, flies in the face of the mounting evidence all over the World that there are too many of us for the available essential resources, principally water and nutritious food. In our case, water is the problem requiring the most serious expert attention.
Our State is an example of singularly poor planning, in that by being so urban-centric, no appropriate thought has been lent to the stimulation of regional centres. No other Australian State suffers from this level of imbalance.
The key to the success of many smaller cities in successful Nations all over World has been the establishment of key educational facilities. The latter should not be confused with financially strapped institutions desperately attempting to raise funds by flogging trendy topics to unsuspecting youngsters. With a more enlightened population, the meagre lateral thinking resources of our Government will be augmented by a more diverse range of rational solutions to our State’s singular problems.
