If you were given 1 billion dollars to create 50,000 new jobs in Australia
what will be your preferential sector to bring that best results in return ?
- agriculture
- mining
- education -
- tourism
- industry
- IT
- military
- public services
- health care
- green energy
- ...you name it
or you may have even already specific business activity in mind already ?
Think about it as investment not one write off money.
Pipeline from the Northern States to the southern states ....mass irrigation and create a world food bowl..... its going to be needed.
meth & cannabis production & distribution.
hash, cocaine, and mdma importation & distribution...
Manufacturing for sure, Stop sending our hard earned money to the Chinese import market.
I'd set up a car manufacturing business with a frame with electrically driven wheels and an interchangeable plastic shell.
Water management -storage and distribution could provide indeed plenty of work and will benefit to the country as w whole IMO.
Possibly require a bit more then a single billion, but anyway every kilometer of the irrigation channel or pipe extending into dry territory
will create instant jobs in agriculture and return on money spent.
I guess irrigation channels could be good for windsurfing/ kite surfing along kilometers in straight way
Soon
Alice Springs will become the World Center of Speed Windsurfing. Not sure if there is enough wind on deserts and Greens will not populate channels with fresh water crocks.
irrigation channels are crap from years gone by, the world knows that chanells are poor science for transporting fluids
it must be done with pipes. evaporation and comtamination have been tryed for years , everywhere above ground is out
underground is all the modern thing.
It would seem that the new world order directions that our governments follow blindly, means for us that no Australian
will work at a hands on job, they will recieve further education [ mind bending] that will allow all to function at a higher
level from our home computer.
Doctors, nurses, lawers, nannys, teachers, truck drivers, etc will be imported from the swill of humans looking for
somewhere better to practice their mumbojumbo in , will be given free range
Aussies will just surf and play footbrawll and do courier work to nearby countrys with important medicines in big bags 
Previously we had discussion already how nice will be to have all jobs by our computer at our air conditioned home thanks to Almighty NBN.
I am not so sure what actually this new 50,000 workers will do (?)
They could be outsourced at any time by even cheaper workers in Asia or Africa by their NBN version.
I am sure that our irrigation and agriculture could not be that easy outsourced as world arable land is shrinking, demand for food is growing and due to our flat geography we are already and could be even more competitive.
Maybe that even means that we still could afford automotive industry cranking out Toyota and Ford tractors this time.
I'd invest in future technology like environmental friendly concepts that would put Australia on the list of leading manufacturers of technology in the world.
Technology in reversing the effects of climate change.
Clean energy research.
We might need it in the future.
Boat people!!!
I hear they are willing to pay to come to the free land down under, so how about this?
We build ugly but safe boats and pick them and their money up, take em to some island in the pacific saying this is home.
And Employ them to build more boats!
But seriously I would build schools here and teach those from less fortunate counties to help themselfs 'not building boats though!'
But doctors, farmers etc. then we could get visas and work over there and send money home, and if we were really lucky get a citizenship there.
Major infrastructure are great nation building projects but these days who is going to fund it?..... A financially broke government or the private sector, if it's done privately they will want returns on their capital in a short term (otherwise they might as well put the money into a bank)eg. Tollways.
The Gov. on the other hand may consider the benefits to the population over 25-50 years but the politicians are so short sighted they can't / don't want to see more than their next term in office.
If you had money to invest, what about invest into education companies..... lots of people who want to be educated to get up in life, it eventually will mean you will need a degree to make burgers or collect garbage.
Water Corps has even done a paper to explain the issues available here.http://www.environment.gov.au/resource/moving-water-long-distances-grand-schemes-or-pipe-dreams
One of the main things is that whilst a lot of water falls in the top end it doesn't fall in catchment and so can't be collected and stored to allow it to be moved in the first place.
Canals are no good because of evaporation and leakage the canal would in effect be dry by the time it got to a southern city.
Pipes would make the cost of water 100 to 200 times more expensive than you pay now. Eg cost of maintenance of pipes and pumping stations in a desert. Gas
Is easier as it is lighter and doesn't need so many pumps.
