CSG can frack off, I'd rather live in rustbelt ex-manufacturing state.

Our biggest export earner is only responsible for 2% of jobs in Australia - and if you expect many wont be FIFO, you're dreaming.

Shareholders - most likely be where the population & wealth is - the Eastern seaboard.

Just shaddup and drill my oil, pump-monkey

Will Melbourne still be considered part of the "Eastern Seaboard" when Brisbane is the second biggest city in Australia?



Or will it be a bit like how Richmond are still considered a "big four" club?






In any case it is the strength of the WA mining operations that protected our country from the GFC. Underpinning the banks who are headquarted in Sydney.

Are you a fool or an idiot? Do you deliberately type foolish statements in a confident manner hoping to be corrected or are you an idiot that believes the shit he writes?

Please tell me when you think Brisbane will overtake Melbourne. If it ever happens (which I doubt), it is unlikely to be within my lifetime.

Only Richmond fans consider themselves a big 4 club

ANZ & NAB are headquartered in Melbourne, but yes a combination of Gov. bank guarantee, stimulating aggregate demand as per Treasury contingency plans and sheer dumb luck (ie China need our ore & coal) got us through, although it's worth noting that our 3rd biggest industry (foreign education) is out no 1 value-add industry and this is concentrated in Melbourne and Sydney.

In 2008 it was held Brisbane could overtake Melbourne.

I guess with any forecast things have changed since then.


Interesting how much we depend on China, given they are our biggest users of Foreign Education as well.

And that a high AUD can have an impact on all of our top three industries.

True, and it wont help that the Yuan is not a floating currency and now Japan have announced they'll open the printing presses after decades of near zero-inflation which will no doubt force down the Yen as well, on the back of QE2 and possibly QE3 in the US.

This is far too high-brow for the bay.

Melbourne is more likely to overtake Sydney (again) and Perth is more likely to overtake Brisbane than Brisbane is of overtaking anyone.

Insecure Victorians hang it on us South Aussies.

Ten years time we can buy the MCG and move it over here..................

Maybe South Australia will become an independent country & nationalize the the oil industry, centering it in Adelaide ...

Why is it Victorians constantly have to denigrate Adelaide? Is this just a deflection of your own insecurities? Are you embarrassed that your city is the most un-Australian of all capitals with its shitty weather and rubbish beaches? Do you keep running down Adelaide to distract you from the fact that your city is just a massive bogan filled sprawl with terrible traffic congestion and poor public transport. Or is because you are too scared too venture out after dark, weary of being king hit by one of the many drunken yobbos or roaming gangs. Maybe its the many beggars that hassle you as you walk to work or the stinking rubbish filled laneways you pass that has you so upset. Could it be that you are pissed off that you can never find a car park that doesn't cost 30 buck an hour, or are you just sick of paying tolls to drive in to the city.

Anyway you slice it, Victorians are the most insecure of all Australians, who need to constantly talk up their own city with ridiculous claims like "sporting capital of the world" while bullying the smaller, but certainly more liveable Adelaide.

Well done OP
