Will Queensland overtake Victoria and NSW?
Feb 20^th, 2007 at 3:21am

It's been a theory of mine for a while that Queensland will overtake Victoria and NSW in pretty much everything within the next fifty years.

Population.
Economy.
Tourism.
Water.
Land mass.
Resources.
Etc etc etc.

For Population, I think Queensland is very luring for people down south wanting to escape the multicultural mess that is Sydney and Melbourne. It also has the potential to support a greater population with vast water resources. Whereas, both NSW and especially Victoria is lacking. Eg. Bundaberg recently had record rainfalls. Also, the Gold Coast is I think Australia's fastest growing city, followed closely by Hervey Bay. I'm not sure how accurate these figures are however.

Economically, Qld is booming. Mainly thanks to the policies of the Beattie Government, and tourism.

Qld is one of the biggest states that hasn't expanded yet. As far as I'm concerned, it's one of the most resource-rich states in Australia that's been left largely untouched.

In my opinion, if there were a state that could become a country by itself at this point, it would be Queensland.

Northern NSW gets a lot of rain. I think whoever selected the border went north until the country suddenly turned bad, then said we'll give that to QLD. The really heavy rainfal is in tropical areas which aren't really suited for Anglo Saxon people. Air conditioning is going to get a bit more expensive soon. Anyway, if I could get a decent job in northern NSW somewhere I would move there.

Hey - it suits me just fine and I'm anglo-saxon. Same for the other few hundred thousand here. As for air conditioning costs - well there are no heating costs. And no extreme temperatures like Victoria. Interesting that the highest ever temperature for Hobart and Cooktown are the same - 40 degrees.

Worth noting the Cairns has pretty well the identical climate to Miami - just a little more rain. There are many millions (many of them anglo-saxon) living in Florida in very similar conditions to Far North Queensland.

That is a fairly recent thing - basically since air conditioning became affordable. Air conditioning is credited for turning a strong conservative state into a more liberal state, to the extent that Florida is now a swing state critical for the US presidential election.

Would you live in FNQ without air conditioning?

I think you are right.
There's been talk of a few young families and couples I know, that have had enough of Melbourne and lockdowns and wish to go to Queensland within the next 2 years.
I was thinking of downsizing and going near Port Phillip Bay, but have now changed my mind....if we sell here, I won't want to bother staying in Victoria....it's depressed me a lot...thanks to Daniel Andrews and all the blunders.
It's also been the wettest we have seen for a while here, cold, dismal, locked down.....
And....to top it all off, last 24 hours we have had no power.....and...
anyone that did all that panic buying of food during the earlier lock down stages, well, all that might be a bit wilt by now hey?
Not only this latest power outage......also the Silvan Dam (supplies water to Melbourne and Yarra Valley etc) has had problems with the disinfectant and fluoride not being filtered during this storm we had, and people are warned to not drink tap water, and many were becoming sick....recommended to boil...but alas....we have had another flurry of panic buying with bottled water off the supermarket shelves.

How much worse can this get for Melbournians!!!

Lucky I am on tank water, needed a generator to run the pump though, which we did, and one fridge.
Dark, cold, candle light, generator humming in the background....no data access on my mobile phone....barely could make calls to my adult kids to let them know what was happening....calls would 'fail'....a lot, until I got through...then they couldn't hear me...was breaking up....
I had to go and stand outside in the dark, in the cold, to get 2 bars on my phone. What is Telstra's problem here?!

Hello friend

Many of the fine folks of Brisbane town are gettin out as soon as they can because of the mess caused by Sunnybank lovin Sydney and Melbourne folks and their enrichments

Take a lookee here

https://www.removeddit.com/v/brisbane/comments/iby00c/ethnic_ghettos_in_brisbane...

Brisbane has the worlds largest in situ invasion force, and folks are complainin and G00GLE brings up this and such: "Ever managed to wrangle a receipt outta them Sunnybank c----s for some shiddy nuudles?"

And friend, this was the only place in the west these canine munchin folks were acting up like this. This didnt happen in enriched Syd or Mel friend.

Remember these fine folks?

Remember why they did this and such?

All because of the "well educated and civilized" folks from the Smelly Harbor and such.

Maybe you can let him live in your house. Hes a good boy, didn do nothing friend.

No friend

Cairns is much hotter and humider than Florida

And aint nothing like Miami which is 1000x larger in its influence and scale friend

Folks in Florida own boats - everywhere - like the standard of living there is 10x or more higher

Brisbane sun and wet hot weather is much hotter than Miami - no comparison at all friend

Sophisticated? Well, not too sophisticated to vote for lovely Annastacia Palaszczuk! And Victorian's are not so sophisticated either...we have Chairman Dan at the helm!
