Let's just like build a big ass canal through Australia, because why the fuck not? What's the worst that'll happen? It'll lower the sea level, create cool new seas, and kill off those scary spiders. Even if it's a waste of money it'll at least be a cool story

It's expensive user
Where do you put all the dirt?
The dirt goes under the water retard
If you pour a bucket of water on the street, the concrete goes nowhere.
Give it to the Netherlands they'd love the extra dirt
It won't be a waste of money, as it help transform that arid land into something bountiful.
They should definitely do it.
No thanks sweaty
It'll also contain invasive species that costs the Australian people and environment loads of damage.
Maybe the Maldives will take it. They need the help staying afloat anyway.
Do you really think 40 million new Anglos will spring out from the ground? No. Something like this will just incentivise brownie immigration. Terraforming our desert is a terrible idea
Isn't that basin thing higher than sea level?
Why do you want to increase your population? Must people settle all land? Just let the Abos have it. You can just ignore it.
There's already a ton and they're doing fuck all to contain them.
Those "invasive" species shouldn't affect the local fauna, anyways, since they're going to be bloody fish.
As for environmental damage, what kind, and why do you think Australians will suddenly care, when they've been raping their environment for coal and other resources.
Do you remember that time Britain tried something similar in colonial Tanzania and failed at it despite literally every everyone saying it was a stupid idea but you still did it? It wasted like 1 billion pounds (in 2020 value) and permenantly destroyed the land?
Not really. Salt water isn't good
Have sex incel
Somewhere in the hundreds of square miles of uninhabited desert surrounding the area.
Why not use the dirt to create islands at or extend the coastline of southern Australia? That's what the Netherlandish would do
The should make a canal to separate Western Australia and make it independent
Canal? Just turn the whole outback into a little australian mare nostrum. Should be first priority once it's technologically doable.
Australia's entire society is based on them digging really well so it should be doable at this point.
>Make Perth and a handful of Aboriginal villages independent
Why?
