I think that is the plan, next cab off the rank a republic, then third world ala Argentina, Brazil, Chile.
The only difference between Australia and them, is the size of the population and the form of Govt, the economy is very similar.
As was said by Kev, Australia needs a population of 35-50 million by 2050, well we are on the way and dividing the pie (GDP) by double the people can only lead to one outcome IMO.
Hopefully we are wrong, but I don't see any republics with an economy like ours, that enjoys the same living standard.
The only ones that do are Canada and New Zealand and they have a lot in common with us, one the same form of Govt and two a manageable size population for their economy.

[QUOTE="sptrawler, post: 1225476, member: 28038"] I think that is the plan, next cab off the rank a republic, then third world ala Argentina, Brazil, Chile. The only difference between Australia and them, is the size of the population and the form of Govt, the economy is very similar. As was said by Kev, Australia needs a population of 35-50 million by 2050, well we are on the way and dividing the pie (GDP) by double the people can only lead to one outcome IMO.
