'Decentralising hasn't worked so far, it won't start working now': Coates | Sky News AustraliaThe Grattan Institute's Brendan Coates has dismantled calls for decentralisation of Sydney and Melbourne, saying the reason house prices are so high in the two cities is because that's 'where all the jobs are'. \n\nMr Coates has told Sky News that the ratio of house prices to income in some regional areas 'isn't that much lower than parts of Sydney'. \n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison took aim at congestion in the major cities in March when he unveiled a migration plan designed to encourage migrants to move to regional Australia. \n\nMr Coates says decentralisation plans have been in the works for a century, saying 'it hasn't worked so far, it won't start working now'. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n Exactly, immigration creates jobs, something the RWNJs on sty news forget (deliberately) to tell you Where have they decentralised. A proper NBN, as originally planned, would have allowed for greater job decentralisation........oh wait who was it that thwarted thatto allow his piss poor subscriber TV network to hobble on for a few more years?
