Apparently the population explosion in brisbane is from melbournians moving here anyway

Australian cities have states of being, they don't have culture. They don't have culture because they don't respect institutions. Let me explain.

Fashions come out of London, Paris and Rome, but ironically Londoner's, Parisian's and Romans are not fashionable. A market porter, banker, actor or crim from one of those cities obeys an unwritten style guide that endures. A few years ago in Perth's Royal Perth Hospital a couple of guys won a nobel prize. At the same time there was a push to close the hospital. That's a situation unthinkable in London. If it's not broken don't fix it! Institutions may get old, need revamping upgrading, but the foundation, the culture remains and strengthens. When a paediatrician walks into their new job at Great Ormond street they KNOW they're the best, because nothing less is acceptable. It doesn't matter where they've trained or lived, they walk through those doors two feet taller than they walked the day before and they're ready to be the culture. Same at New Scotland Yard, London airport, Saville row, The city even a London Taxi.

The knowledge of place resides in its institutions. In Europe the institutions are respected, in Australia they're not.

I don't believe y'all are right there friend. Institutions are respected here, but practical natures are respected even more. It don't matter how great them fancy institutions are if the patient aint being treated right. So them folks getting treatment count more than the institution, and the doctor providing the treatment answers to the patient, not some fancy idea of institution which don't mean nothing.

Nice apostrophes there friend. Are you a greengrocer?

And London airport? Do y'all mean Mumbai On The Thames, and them other things y'all mention from London Town - well, London aint nothing but an impoverished slum, everyone knows that friend except them young ones who read Harry Potter and such.

Why I couild be hurt if you weren't an American. Let me start by saying London isn't impoverished and wont be as long as Yank blow hards are prepared to pay good money to gawk at Royals, Castles and the like. I'd point out that 'impoverished slums' is an oxymoron, but realise that in your country that isn't necessarily so. It's as a kindness and warning that I'll point out the word 'impoverished' will take on a whole new meaning for you, when China forecloses on you. At least you don't have 'subprime' real estate to worry about, right now it's all subprime.

Friend, I am an Australian now, but it's obvious you aint. You are batting for London, and if you use the Google and type in London Slum and Youtube y'all will see the truth out there about that fine city, which aint doing so good. And friend, y'all are missing the point, y'all wouldnt even exist if it werent for the countries like the US, Canada and Australia - y'all would be speaking German, because lets face it friend, Germany actually outcompeted y'all last century and makes things today that them folks in London cant. The problem with folks like y'all is that you've been brainwashed by your famous BBC into thinking your country is something special ,Sure, when y'all could beat down the natives and take the land, it was, today - not so much.

Brisbane Town is the greatest city in the world friends, and here's more conclusive proof. Y'all see, Neo-Soweto only has two of them fancy Apple stores and we are gettin a new one here which means we have three of them fancy stores.

Brisbane CBD Apple Store Better than London's

Just like I done told y'all, our city is better friends.

Like I done told y'all my friend here has a son who Knows About Computers and such, and makes his living from them, and y'all dont realize that I could be posting this here from one of them fancy computers y'all can carry around in a bag right from your fancy ghetto suburb, when in fact it looks On the Internet like I am posting it from the Wilds of Timbuktu, see? Them computers are real fancy in this Modern World in Which We Live. But I use one of them big ones here in my apartment, and it stays in one place.

But speaking of the Wilds of Timbuktu, I see that them fine folks over there in Neo-Soweto aint doing so good these days, and many are fleeing their Home, and living in great cities like Brisbane Town. Some of them integrate and assimilate, others think they are all fancy and better than the locals and post here about how superior they are and such, because they believe they all come from some superior society. Well, it aint superior now, and it weren't superior in the past when fine folks came from miles around to build this great city and country. Folks over there had dirty waters, and dirty cities, just like in China-Land today - its no wonder they all wanted to leave and still do. Take a look here at your grandma my friends (newly arrived from the Neo Soweto). : Folks from London Town are all superior and such I know

And that makes Billy Jack sad friends.

God I love this Internet. Mr Internet, *Holds up Keyboard* Can I have Some More Please?
