New California declares "independence" from rest of state

[Bricktop]

Don't know anything about the crappy tennis, the yank, or the jungle monkeys and I don't care. Vic is a big and vibrant state where everything happens good and bad, unlike the shithole, SA where nothing happens.

You seem remarkably ignorant of the current affairs in your chosen State.



Perhaps, before making comment, you should do a little research.



Last I checked, waiting for a tram in Adelaide did not require you standing in a concrete bunker.

Just accept that your crappy little do nothing shithole State lacks the infrastructure and population to ever matter to the rest of the country and it's boring, inbred, and full of California like pompous douchebags.

[Bricktop]

To be honest, I don't necessarily disagree with your views on SA and Adelaide.



On the other hand, I'd rather be here than in a violent, ill-governed, overcrowded, overvalued crime centre like Melbourne.



The alps and GOR are nice though. I've done the GOR on a motorcycle with my daughter. It was a great run.

At least we can both be thankful that we're not NSW.

I don't know much about how each Australian state is governed, but I would say Western Australia or Queensland are the best states to live in.

WA is very remote.



Its capital, Perth, is the most remote capital city on the planet. No capital city is further from an adjacent capital than Perth. Its a 3 1/2 flight from Adelaide, the closest city. Its a fine place, though. Its also heavily reliant on mining for its revenue, which means that the fluctuations in demand for minerals has a major effect on its economy. A lot of millionaires come from Perth, but few survive bankruptcy eventually.



Queensland is mainly subtropical. Gets humid, and also gets cyclones. For many years it was governed by one of the most corrupt governments in any western democracy. Its a nice place, in general. Brisbane is the capital, and its a bit of a jumble. The rural sector is currently suffering a severe drought, while the rest of the country has plenty of water.

Perth is supposedly a sister city of Calgary..

I liked Queensland when I lived there. Lots of bogans.



You must mean Joh Bjelke Petersen. He was gone when I was there, but I heard some good stories about him.

[Bricktop]

Yep. Chairman Joh. He organised the biggest gerrymander in Australian history (causing new electoral laws to be introduced to avoid it ever happening again). His opponents could rarely get more than 20% of the vote. His Department heads were hand picked crooks, including the infamous Commissioner of Police, Fitzgerald and his Ministers were all on the take.



It was in every sense a criminal organisation.



Oddly, a former Premier of Western Australia was also gaoled for corruption.

I met some salt of the earth people there.

Me. I am a bogan and proud of it.

Bogan...a chav, or a poorly educated, impoverished, unrefined young adult. They wear checkered flanellette, have no teeth and think drinking a carton of beer is what they were put on the Earth for.
