Post War industrial decentralisation for Australia
Paul Cheyne argues that after Allied victory Australia should decentralise industry away from metropolitan areas to rural districts. He contends this would create local work, ease rail and shipping strain, reduce long-distance waste, and strengthen national defence. He urges expansion of primary and secondary sectors to make Australia a Pacific hub and warns about future migration and the need to prepare for Chinese demand and increased trade.
