Melbourne is a live and let live city with interesting weather and friendly people. You either get it, which it sounds like you do, or you are baffled by it and prefer a warmer climate where everyone gets up early and exercises

Also (other older ones!) Malcolm, The Big Steal and Death in Brunswick off the top of my head. There’s a perception among creators that International viewers are only interested in outback stories. The success of a series like Fisk says otherwise

It’s a tv series, but Fisk is set in a city

Patricia did a great job teasing the racism out, not that Price needed much encouragement

Not sure it’s constitutionally possible and doubt Tasmanians would be on board, but if Tassie merged with Victoria it could benefit from the recognition of a big population state. Hearing not so great reports about UTAS too

I’m sorry your show did not demonstrate that understanding. I’m mad at you writing off my country. It’s big and diverse, every nationality is represented. We’ve got our problems but overall we have absorbed millions of migrants peacefully

Yes from one stage to the next, one media studio to the next, then onto a plane. RG doesn’t get Australia, that’s ok, but not ok to talk us down
March 3, 2025 at 8:05 AM
During her Melbourne show RG exhibited an understandably shallow knowledge of Australia. She is in no position to judge us, same as the OP who opined cluelessly about racism in the US. Both are great immigrant countries with unique problems

I saw your Melbourne show where you were warmly welcomed; but this is how you really view us? I think you know the OP is one view and not exactly representative

The business case might be poor, and I’d rather SRL East get funding instead, but an airport train in Australia’s biggest city is a must have

A senate position is a six year licence to do whatever you like, why bother representing your constituents? For sure the best job in Oz

Everyone has their trigger points. For me it’s cruelty, I loathed Succession and its stupid, nasty characters. Severance is a work of art, bleak and savagely funny but it extols the solace of companionship too. I hope you stick it out, but you know you best and what you can handle

Media call Sydney public transport upgrades ‘investments’, Melbourne improvements are labelled an irresponsible spending spree. We had to practically get on our knees to get a bit of funding for SRL. Who do you think will pay to ‘fix it’?

I have interstate relatives who are frightened to visit Melbourne because of the media beat up about violence. There seems to be no way to counter the mis-information except by switching off

Do you do exercises to strengthen the rotator cuff muscles? Swimming is very hard on them
February 21, 2025 at 8:11 PM
Well said. Why are they so focussed on an interstate city when Sydney has its own issues? I get conservative media having a go at a left governed state, but can’t abide the social media posters climbing aboard spouting the same ignorant BS. It’s tall poppy syndrome imo

Rejuvenating the laneways has been a thirty year project. Originally the lanes were filled with bins and many were closed off. A credit to the city council and successive state governments to see it through
February 21, 2025 at 1:26 AM
The Australian you refer to is a US citizen and has been since 1985

Don’t miss the Block Arcade if arcades are your thing

Not everyone lives in Sydney. I’m happy for potential buyers if houses are more affordable. Unless one is entering or leaving the market, house prices are immaterial

Parents have a duty to raise their children as best they can, but children don’t owe their parents anything. You were instilled with a sense of obligation and you’re struggling with it. I’ve seen the obligation switch turn off in others, hopefully it will for you at some point

None of these men are engaging with you in good faith. Their language is quite sophisticated, but they are extremists trying to hound you off the platform. Blocking is the only answer

Can statues be desecrated? They’re not graves
