Hahaha WHAT?

Surely if Australia was going to be 2 counries it would be split East and West.

Tas, Vic, NSW, ACT and QLD - Eastern Australia
SA,NT, WA - West Australia

NZ really should have nothing to do with it.



Serious unpopular weird opinion.
East west? Nah

The nation should split over those that want day light savings and those that don't.


It just makes better sense.

Actually, no, the whole thing makes no sense.
Canberra runs this nation for the good of victoria and new south wales. They should be running the nation for the benefit of all states and trying to build the nation.

west australia, queensland and NT should not have to carry the burden of the nation especially states like tasmania. Tassie has great mineral resources but chooses to sit on its arse, with high unemployment, because they want to be green. That's fine if they want to be green, but we shouldn't have to pay for their lifestyle choice.



WA, QLD and NT should form their own nation and then invite the rest of the states to join "us". The capital would be Kalgoorlie and as a reminder to the "other" states Tasmania would not be invited back in. We can use this island to dump our criminals, political dissidents and whining eastern staters.


You know it makes sense!

Why would the East want to split away from the state which is propping them up? :)
WA was going to leave Australia but the unions from the east felt threatened. The union moved victorians to kalgoorlie to stack the vote.

Cutting a long story short, WA and democracy was cheated. We would be just righting a wrong.

If it wasn't for WA the country would be in the shitter, Would of been interesting to see If we were a country and see how the other part of the country would fair off.

Doesn't the majority of government income come from income tax and GST distribution, which would still be coming from the high population states?
That's where WA gets less than 50% of the dollar back and NSW, VIC, QLD get about 90% back and everyone else leaches.

The voting system should also be changed to reflect the $ contribution by each state. Given WA only receives 50c in the $ we should have twice the vote value of our NSW, Vic and Qld friends and almost three times the value of tasmanians.

That big girls (and by big I mean 90kg+) shouldn't be cosplaying as Misty from pokemon or the like. I mean good for them for being secure enough to do it! But i'm not sure they should be doing it...

60kg is not "big" for a girl.
a healthy guy at 180-185cm should weigh circa 80-85kg.

55-60kg is reasonable for most girls. if they are taller at say 180cm then 70kg would be acceptable for some builds.


As a society we have gone from promoting skinny to now promoting be fat is OK. Using size 14 girls for models is as horrendous as using size 4.You can't be size 4 without a dietary or health disorder and you can't be size 14 without the same.

Surely we should be promoting healthy lifestyles.

People with sugar and fat addictions need to be assisted as much as those with alcohol and heroin addiction. Hey, they kill and cost more than all illicit drugs combined.

Therefore 60kg is not big and you have indeed contradicted yourself.
