This means that we are now paying a heavy price for the fact that Australia has never ever planned anything. We have just 'grown like Topsy'.
Not only does the North not have a plan for development, nowhere else in Australia does either, especially our cities which have become crowded and clogged monstrosities.
Clearly, we can do better.

There just has to be a better way to grow Australia.
