If Australia was broken up into separate countries, which are all self-sufficient, with its own Agriculture, water, power generation etc, Australia might be a very sustainable continent? There would be large quantities of jobs available in each country in all areas, and as a result, the economy of these countries would be successful.

 In an natural disaster, similar the floods, or the hurricane at the beginning of the year, emergency supplies could be distributed to those in need by using a mechanised, accurate catapult. By doing this, there will be very little natural resources used to supply those in need, and the supplies would be able to reach the people in need very quickly. This would solve the problem of emergency crews struggling to reach people in need of food, shelter, clothes or first aid because of flood waters or large scale damage to land preventing emergency services to pass.
