018 Development: Global Mobility



On a global context, Australia is a huge "island" surrounded by the Indian and Pacific Ocean. In terms of global movement, Australia is no stranger to receiving visitors, immigrants and asylum seekers alike from all walks of life, from every corner of the world. How have this movement shaped Australia? How will this influence in shaping a new hypothetical Australian capital?

As the current global movement is made easy with airplanes, it is a lot easier to move in and out of Australia.Will this affect greatly on the mobility of Australia, both internally and externally? Can the existing structure of parliament continue to function the way it is? Or should there be a new approach? Which ministry (link to Ministry List) in the current parliament should spearhead this? Foreign Affairs, Trade, Infrastructure and Transport, or...? How should this be represented?
