The CBD is the Detroit of the south, surrounded by the Communist Protectorate of Victoria, led by Denis from Portland who, being from the country, thinks it's only right that he gives the urban howler monkery of leftards whatever materials and encouragement they need to destroy him.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-25854201697501418002013-10-10T01:46:29.936+11:002013-10-10T01:46:29.936+11:00Prof, as a former Melbourne resident, I generally ...Prof, as a former Melbourne resident, I generally agree with you about the CBD. However, LaTrobe Street is not the problem, it's more the lack of a cross-city tunnel to take out the cars that don't want to be in the CBD, but are just trying to get from A to B, and find the CBD in the way. Then there's all the stuff you pointed to in a previous post, like the rampant beggars and freaks. Here in Brisbane, it's very pleasant to sit and have a beer in the Queen St mall, and note the complete absence of weirdos and leeches. When a rare one does appear, the police have a word, and he either drifts elsewhere, or learns why police carry handcuffs. Come join me one time for a beer at the Pig and Whistle, and marvel at the cleanliness and peacefulness.Rubberducknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-66285086538793420022013-10-09T20:40:35.350+11:002013-10-09T20:40:35.350+11:00Doyle can indeed be measured by comparison to his ...Doyle can indeed be measured by comparison to his successor in the State Liberal Party, Red Ted.<br />But he can also be calibrated against his predecessor in the Lord Mayoral chair, John So.<br />One would have thought that So's buffoonery could never be topped, but Fatty has lowered the bar again.<br /><br />The Irish LionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-58424814160147793292013-10-09T18:10:43.304+11:002013-10-09T18:10:43.304+11:00Anytime you want to swap Doyle for Clover, Profess...Anytime you want to swap Doyle for Clover, Professor, just say the word.The Old and Unimproved Davenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-3754996987894338462013-10-09T17:35:28.178+11:002013-10-09T17:35:28.178+11:00Prof - a typo?
