How’s this for a big smackdown? Victorian premier John Brumby, talking about the importance of the controversial Port Phillip Bay dredging project, said:
“If you want Melbourne to be a backwater, if you want Melbourne eventually to be an Adelaide – as someone described it the other day – well, don’t do this project, and Melbourne will just die a slow death.”
Naturally enough, South Australian premier Mike Rann didn’t appreciate this putdown. He said:
“The Victorians are becoming more defensive because the centre of gravity for Australia’s economic future is now firmly based in states like West Australia, Queensland and South Australia.”
Hmmm, I think throwing in South Australia as a boom state like Western Australia and Queensland is overstating things a tad.
One thing Adelaide will always have though is its crown as serial killer capital of Australia!
Maybe all the backwater dwellers would benefit from BYPASSING Victoria and heading to Sydney, or QLD, Darwin or Perth instead of spending our hard earned money there for their tourist economy, eh?
They can FUCK OFF!

Brumby was dredged up from the bottom of Port Phillip and needs to be returned to his natural state – sludge and slime.

Don’t know about Adelaide always having the serial killer things…. some of the weird s**t goin down in Perth might take that crown away
