A Victorian MP is pushing for the creation of a new “super state” made up of parts of regional Victoria and NSW.
State Liberal Democrats MP for Northern Victoria Tim Quilty is the mastermind behind the project, which has been dubbed “Rexit” for “regional exit”, and first raised the idea in 2018, according to news.com.au.
Quilty’s new “super state” would include Victorian regional centres Ballarat, Bendigo, Mildura, Wodonga and Shepparton alongside NSW town like Wagga Wagga, Albury, Orange, Bathurst and Griffith.
The idea behind the plan is to help curb the social and economic divide between regional and city communities.
