Only Forwards
Just you wait and see
It was something in the media a few weeks ago.Did I hear that we are going to be given the Northern Territory as our Academy zone, or is that just something I dreamt up?
Whether it is true or not is another thing entirely.
Also it appeared that it was the NT excluding Darwin.
Giving us the NT as an NGA is a nonsense.
We had all of Tassie which is an hour flight and we were unable to manage it properly. What do we really think the outcome is going to be? NT is like 25 times the size of Tassie and further away with a population half the size. Of which is you exclude Darwin you exclude 50% of that population. So where does that lands us 25% the population of tassie to draw on but over vast distances that would be hard and expensive to cover.
If offered it, the pragmatic answer is to say no. If the NGA is something we need to fund we would be much much better off funnelling any funds we would have spent on the NT into the small slice of Melbourne we have. THe ROI would be significantly more.
