My first debate was with Gordon Duvall (resident geologist), at age 13. Gordon argued that Norfolk Island could sustain a population of 10 000, I argued (in my wisdom) zero growth. The bizarre part is that almost 30 years later, I'm a Legislative Assembly representative on the Immigration Committee. How the island is to deal with immigration and population into the future is an issue this Government must deal with and we are not alone. Currently the island controls its immigration law and policy and I think this ability to control, is a power we should retain. Feel free to share your views.
