Melbourne Becoming Bangkok
Oct 15^th, 2018 at 9:56am

Melbourne's population explosion threatens to create a 'Bangkok situation'

Quote:

"You end up with a Bangkok situation — where you have an extraordinary level of growth and congestion, and you simply cannot move around the city

."

Quote:

In Melbourne's fastest growing municipality, the City of Melton, west of the city, a baby is born every four hours

LINK

Guess that government commissioned study of 30 years ago into the maximum population Australia could sustain ---- hit the shredder, huh?

because back then, government accepted that maximum number to be 10 million

Vote Sustainable Australia Party for your grandkids' sake

Since Big Business and Government make all the decisions about Australia nothing is going to change.

Well - if Sydney can become Hong Delhi, Malbun can become Athenskok...

Where's Vic to re-tell that Bang Cock joke....

Here's the full version of the below:-

"Old chinese proverb says: “Man with erection walking through door sideways is always going to Bangkok”.

Vic's joke went like this:-

In Thailand, when they want to determine the successor to the throne, they get the eligible young men into a room, then they bring on a host of nubile young naked dancing girls..... when the young men show interest with growing groins... the girls pour honey on their stomachs...... flies are naturally attracted to the honey, and when enough flies have settled, one of the girls takes hold of the swollen member, bends it as far as it will go downwards, and then lets it go so that it whacks into the honey ... the repeat for each one of the young men and the next king is determined by a count of the greatest number of dead flies... and that's why they named the capital of Thailand Bangkok...

Kind of appropriate ........

Seriously, the way every man, dog and woman in Mog rushed to the streets to kill the Infidel shows something is drastically wrong with the Musseltown mentality..... for them it is very much and very real - us against them. Shocked

Kid gloves don't work with that kind of insanity.... carpet bomb 'em all - let Allah sort out the innocent...

That also sounds like Karnal's write up of his last holiday in Pattaya.

No it's not - I've moved to Geelong -
a fair way out of Melbourne.
Every week day the main Melbourne road -
Monash freeway becomes a car park for 5 hours -
the cars don't even move -
Melbourne is a terrible overcrowded place -
I don't want to live there anymore.

Melbourne has its problem areas, same as Sydney does. The main problem is that Melbourne is blowing out with new immigrants and others. Farmers selling their land for $50 million and new suburbs cropping up. ONLY 35 kms from the CBD, apparently?

250,000 new Melbournites a year? Shocked

Why aren't they all going to Queensland? Roll Eyes

We don't want them here in Victoria.
