Question for the Aussies

xoxoxoBruce · 10-13-2006, 09:06 AM

There was an article in Smithsonian or National Geographic awhile ago about the new North/South railroad. They said it would open up and bring jobs/wealth to new areas which would benefit the local poor natives. Also it had been mandated some of the construction jobs go to the natives.

I couldn't help but wonder if the whites would follow the railroad (and the money it generated), to just push the natives out of more land?

If this global warming changes the weather patterns to make the outback wetter, it will be interesting to see who prospers and how the benefits will be reaped.
