How to achieve a Federation of bioregions

I call it the 'lean green bioregional machine'

-an integrated political and Earth Stewardship system (did u read Will Steffen's latest paper under 'Links and Resources?')

-?similar to the direct democracy model in Switzerland or simply a Federation restructure

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/07/switzerland-direct-democracy-explained/

-Elon Musk supports direct democracies in principle so they must be good

So, how can it be done?

-make a map of bioregions based around groundwater aquifers (Inflow=outflow +/- changes in storage)

-get a map of 'House of Representatives' electorates

-overlay the two in a GIS and shave off the 'House of Representatives' electorate borders along the groundwater aquifers and turn them into water bioregions

-allocate bioregional 'Senate' seats based on an equation integrating area, water and population within the bioregion (x/y/z/t plus a bunch of other numbers)

-?blockchain the PM and possibly the system using POS method on the Ethereum platform

-what about State Governments? These would be replaced by bioregions

-what about Local Government? Borders could also be redefined within bioregions

-transition some Government jobs from State Government to the new bioregional platform/structure

-use those funny video link-ups on wheels for meetings (C U Geoffrey Blainey's 'Tyranny of Distance')

-what about debates? These could take place online using video link-ups...less travel kms and possibly lower testosterone levels. People from the community and experts could join in!

-likely high initial cost to set up but undoubtedly long-term savings which could transfer to lower income taxes

PLUS

-How to charge 'reasonable' rates for groundwater used by mining companies eg. Adani, BHP etc taking into account that groundwater is one of the most valuable and essential resources for Australians past, present and future?

-A Carbon tax with direct dividend to consumers

-Apptech/Green tech seed funding - distributed tech and grid restructure

-Increased apptech/greentech R&D military budget

-Increased environmental refugee intake

-Treaty and a stronger Native Title system

-?Republic...

Do we have a working model in progress?

CSIRO bioregional assessment programme could be a start plus working models in Australia and ?overseas

Alternatively, a National Water Plan suggested by Professor Craig T Simmons FTSE at Flinders University at the National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training...groundwater.com.au

Why not give those poor ol' climate scientists their jobs back in CSIRO? Maybe a Gala dinner for some fundraising...or just find a Government who is serious about climate research?
