According to a study of Australians’ twitter usage, we Canberra folk are aggressive, angry and sad.
A social media study by the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and an advertising company, found Australians send about 5,000 tweets per minute. Researchers analysed a list of typical words associated with emotions, and found Canberrans are the most anxious, aggressive and sad in Australia.
Other things revealed by this study:
- West Australians are the most positive
- South Australians the most affectionate
- Melbourne people are the most sociable (as measured by the number of mentions)
- Sydney people tweet the most – and swear more than anyone else.
Now I’m off to have a cry, kick the dog and tell those researchers to go and get fucked!

Well,I sure found Canberra as depressing as hell,which no doubt made me angry and aggressive.Though having recently lived in Melbourne,can’t say i was any more sociable.Like a lot of these oh-so-important research projects,it all means bugger all??
Well to me it was bloody obvious, If i lived in Canberra i would be a grumpy old bastard with a bad temper too….. Wouldn’t anybody that lived among such a high concentration of politicians be a real pain in the ass to get on with… Very easy to fix, Just get rid of the money and time wasting politicians and Canberra would be such a nice place to live..
Nah,Graeme..the public service mentality which pervades the place is like the stench of a teenage boys socks…puke inducing. And the climate is POX!!!!
