I'd move there in a flash...too bloody hot though. The Queensland Government is crook as a dog's hind leg...and the councils down south east are no different.
Yep
Chris Reilly
I reckon it's a long shot, but I'd be keen as for it! Let's make the border at the Mary River and call it North Queensland.

We'll hang onto our coal cash and give the South East a run for their money this time...🤗

Let's just smash all them state governments and make everything, like health and education, run by the feds. Giving money to state gov's is just burning cash. Willie Thomas

Yeah mate, Brisbane always gets the big bucks while us lot up here in the sticks are still waiting for the bloody Barron bridge to be sorted out.

Yeah, I ain't letting Brisbane run North Queensland. So hell yeah, why not?

Put up the fresh border around the edges of Brissy. Do the same for NSW (Newie, Syd & Gong) and we'd all be stoked.

Yes, funding from Rocky to up north would be ideal for improving infrastructure in North Queensland.

SE Queensland roads are like highways, while North Queensland roads are like goat tracks. A windscreen allowance for registered vehicles north of Rockhampton would help. I currently have to claim 3 times a year on insurance. Perhaps it's time for coal royalties to return to the area, regardless of s... View More

The real question is, should journalists know more about geography? Hell yeah. That border is about 700 km south of North Queensland.
Yep
Darren Miller
It's about damn time, the QLD government has been ignoring the north and regional towns for way too long. They make most of their money from us up here anyway, so they should invest in developing our economies. It would be much cheaper than building another tunnel for the folks down in the southeast...

Do Cairns or Townsville residents understand Brisbane being their capital when many may never visit?
Yep
Rob Henderson
I reckon living up North is pretty great. Don't reckon we need any more states, but it'd be bloody good to see the cash made up here stay up here. A few top-notch highways and some coal or nuclear power wouldn't go astray either.

No way. The population in NQ is way too small to cover the cost of our infrastructure, let alone any new construction. If you think the roads are bad now, imagine not having the tax money from SE QLD for upkeep.
Yep

Yeah, we should stop the QLD 'hunger games' economy. North QLD's farming, mining, tourism, and marine industry money should stay in North QLD and not be sucked into Brisbane.

All we need is for more of our hard-earned cash to be flushed down the toilet by the state government for something that won't even help us out. Leanne Blackmore

Let's just split the sunny coast in half so we can have more daylight when we get home. We can have some fun at night events, thanks to daylight savings. I know some people up north complain about it, but we're the ones who need it the most with all our long drives and work hours. We deserve some su... View More

I think Bob Katter proposed this idea years ago - create a border around Brisbane and classify the rest as Regional Queensland. My concern is having too many politicians.

Discussion about making Cairns the capital was had 30 years ago, but a standalone state might struggle without a strong economy like the South. Deb Taylor

Add in the southeast corner, below Gympie and up in the mountains, make sure the southwest connects with Central Queensland, North Queensland, and Far North Queensland. They all get beat by the southeast corner too!!
