Flew through Canberra and Adelaide. Canberra gets grumpy if you tkae item's out, Adelaide they get snarky if you don't take everything out at security. Same rules but only actual similarity is both places had heaps of staff standing around doing stuff all watching 2-3 people actually working...
Morale in the pits so HR manager arranges a three day training course to reward us with a personal development opportunity (despite surveys saying we want more staff and a payrise that matches inflation). Most boring useless non recognised anywhere course imaginable (run by a consultsnt mate of...
That Bourke Street mall one was great for Tuesday night cheap pizza and movie night before jumping the barrier for a free train ride home

In Canberra in the early 2000s, you either waited for 1030 Channel 9 replay or it was on a channel on Foxtel live. You had to be careful not to leave the channel on with kids in the room as 5 minutes after the game finished, it became one of the two Foxtel pr0n channels.

Lines at just about every sizzler (except maybe the Myer one in Brisbane CBD) pretty well up and till the owner decided to run them down so he could build apartments, KFCs and Taco Bells on the sites.

Everyone has different tastes and for some people it would be great.
I thought your summary above about tourist, family and young people's perceptions were pretty spot on. I spent a few years as a kid (and my siblings have raised families here) and the school system, sporting facilities, shops...
Yes I have the misfortune of having had my job move from the regions to Canberra.
Questacon is good for kids.

I thought he was being sarcastic listing those bunch of non events as great tourist attractions whereas the War memorial is actually something someone might visit.

A big part of the problem is that the public service used to be decentralised and have a lot of people delivering services and products which gave them knowledge and experience to inform decision making. However it has continued to centralise in Canberra (drawing on a much smaller talent pool)...
She actually writes articles? I though she was just news.com.au version of a page 3 girl she is on there so often.

Long line at petrol station (usual Sunday afternoon refuel at the cheap place), couple pull up to pump then decide to have a chat before getting out of car to start filling up, keep talking then they casually stroll in to pay and decide to grab coffee ignoring the eight cars lined up after...
That is offensive. It would be good if the museums said that five rich idiots decided to visit what is essentially a tomb for over a 1000 people to suit their ego and died as a result of arrogance and stupidity

Maybe because the titan sub involved the unknown and people might be alive? The loss of the economic migrants is sadder but in reality neither trip should have happened and the organiser need significant fines and jail terms.

Neighbour has never set foot in the house (bought from Shanghai and has left it vacant as a tax dodge/residency points if he needs to flee) and the other side is a nice Indian couple but we just know then to wave to Other than that, street is full of empty homes owned by people overseas, total...
More cars, no police presence (relying more and more on cameras that everyone is warned to avoid), crappier (poorly designed and maintained) roads, less patience, more selfishness, more distractions while driving, more drug use, less consequences for bad behaviour, more foreign drivers on our...
In the city they don't seem to, suspect in more isolated areas there are cops going beyond what is reasonable.

Common in Darwin now especially around Casuarina and Palmerston and required when you have fights breaking out next to families trying to order food, eat dinner etc.
I haven't seen violence against patrons but it isn't pleasant when you have someone asking (who clearly is on a multi day...
Fing Qantas. Checked in online with wife seated next to each other. Get to airport, check app - now 15 rows apart. Long line to drop bags, get prompt to go straight to gate. Ask staff at gate if flight is on time and get told yes, asked staff to check and they looked at screen and said yes and...
Main shopping centre used to be okay but around near the pet shop/maccas near the apartments that went up where the cinemas and offices were supposed to be there is a lot of theft, graffiti and fights.

When I first got there a few years earlier than you, you could get to work in the CBD in 30 minutes, could walk safely to the train line, shops were clean and safe etc. They just kept dumping more and more people in and government jobs kept moving from the west into the cbd despite both levels...
Colossal waste of money for government types and industry to get drunk and call it work (networking). How much are the various levels of govt paying so that Linfox can get more money?

Point Cook has gone from a good place to live to a violent dump stuck in a gridlock. 1hr+ in the morning to get to the sardine cans called a train line. Graffiti, violent crime, breakins common, parts of the two shopping centres known as areas to avoid due to the youth gangs hanging around...
Following simple rules like checking the gun isn't loaded and not pointing it straight at someone would have stopped it and were easy to do.

Nope, some film about a dodgy kid stealing chocolate while on a tour of a factory run by freaks or a bunch of "celebrities" noone has heard of singing songs about some bloke named Jeebers whose parents went to a dodgy b&b and an obese stalker of kids and prowler named Santa.
