"Melbourne is boring and has no culture" say a heap of blokes that probably live in shithole towns where the only cuisine options are chicken parmas and Chinese from the bowlo

Just because he's a troll doesn't actually mean they are wrong though, Victoria is without a doubt the most overrated little piece of this great country.
Lots of people would disagree with you. Cause shitloads of plane keep landing at Melbourne Airport.

But Victoria doesn’t have any beaches man and it’s always 10 degrees, says the bungeyed bundy drinker who sore port Phillip bay whilst attending an origin game (Queensland biggest night of the year, sold to the vics).

It's never been anything other than that.

It is the people of Melbourne that propels innovation, genius, superb sporting achievements, theater, architecture, Science, Engineering, Medicine, social conscience and sheer magnificence all over the planet my friend.

We in Melbourne do not rely on being some sort of fishing port village that contributes little and whinges all the time going to Canberra with cap in hand and squealing like pathetic warthogs.

Melbourne kreates its own destiny my friend - it doesnt sit at the shoreline petrified with fear and waiting for a boat to dock.

Read some credible history books and published peer reviewed literature and you will see that what I have stated is factual.

Again your GSP per capita is less than Queensland
 
Would you describe Australia as a culturally and ethnically diverse nation?

Where would you think Australia is ranked on the "ethnic and cultural diversity scale" compared to other nations?
Yes and very highly.

Lol at Melbin people consoling themselves about how “cultured” they are while they live in generic dog box 1 of 250 in a suburb that has some graffiti and a joint that sells dumplings

Words that Dazlington doesn't understand:

irony
culture

Anything else _Swoon?
 
Australia is one of the least ethnically and culturally diverse nations in the world - ranked 140th out of 159 nations studied.

View attachment 713282


People in the USA also believe their society is very ethnically and culturally diverse. The US ranks better than Australia but still ranked 85 in the world.
If you're judging diversity on the basis of purely being diverse it seems a quite meaningless ranking, particularly given I had a cursory glance at the top 3 ranked countries on that list and noted that one was recently in the news for clan violence, one is undergoing a civil war and the third borders one of the others. Australians actually co-exist with other ethinicies and we do it better than Europe, not to mention almost every other place on earth.

Don’t a million people show up to see some graffiti. White night or something. I miss out on it every year. Such a busy place.

If all you can complain about is ‘uni leftists’, government debt and a low enough crime rate for pretty much every burglary and assault to be reported in the news - it’s pretty obvious we’re sitting high up on the global human rights index here
