West Victoria(西维多利亚州)在忽视农村问题后, 推动新州兴起势头。 Western Victoria's push for a new state gains momentum over ignored rural concerns.

对农耕权利、可再生能源政策、采矿规则和紧急服务税的挫折,重新点燃了维多利亚西部要求建立一个新州的呼声。 Frustration over farming rights, renewable energy policies, mining rules, and the emergency services levy has reignited calls in western Victoria for a new state. 包括罗斯·约翰斯在内的农村领导人说,尽管税收和基础设施负担沉重,但目前的治理忽视了区域需求。 Rural leaders, including Ross Johns, say current governance ignores regional needs despite heavy tax and infrastructure burdens. 他们引用了19世纪的普林斯兰运动和新南威尔士州持续推动里弗利纳州的历史先例,认为一个新的以农村为重点的州可以更好地解决当地关注的问题,如道路、医疗保健和通过波特兰港的出口准入。 They cite historical precedents like the 19th-century Princeland movement and the ongoing push for a Riverina state in NSW, arguing that a new rural-focused state could better address local concerns like roads, healthcare, and export access via the Portland port. 尽管仍然存在各种挑战,包括人口和税收基础低,但这一想法正日益受到牵引,以应对所认为的系统性忽视和以城市为中心的决策。 Though challenges remain, including low population and tax base, the idea is gaining traction as a response to perceived systemic neglect and urban-centric policymaking.
