Prime Minister, is it 93 per cent of Australia's surface area that is populated by fewer than one million people? Your government's 20,000-hectare Hughenden irrigation scheme will create 200 farms and a pastoral paradise for 500 families. Won't 15 other such schemes support over 200,000 people into inland Australia? Is not the Hughenden model critical to the creation of a new and more wonderful nation?
