Is that just because of how the state votes in federal elections? Though I don't remember WA being a bastion of the Liberals any time recently.

Not at all mate. West Australia is all outback (cool) and Perth (one of my favorite cities). But it is somewhat more conservative than I'm comfortable with. I didn't base this on elections. Just as in America, I think I'd be happier on the coast in an urbanized area, although in abstract I love untamed wilderness like West Aus. and Idaho.

Queensland however, is like the Appalachians and Utah combined, ugh.

Ha Ha Look at Queensland, it has zero votes!

Why hasn't Hugh posted yet? Sad

*deep breath*

I suppose when I fly into the capital of Pakistan, Karachi, and meet with Major Mosharrif I'll have a chance to educate the Pakistinians about the structure of Australia's Commonwealth.

BTW, you fail if you answer Queensland, South Australia or New South Wales; scrape a pass at WA, average pass for ACT or NT, good pass for Tassie, and perfect mark for Victoria.

Why didn't you include New Zealand? :confused:

edit-TWO votes for South Australia? You people have no soul *glares*

(of course, if the only reasons for you selecting South Australia were Coober Pedy, Kangaroo Island and maybe the murray near the border...you might have a soul. Just a very dark, rotten one that will spend teternity in the deepest depths of hell Wink)

The only thing I know about South Australia is that it was Rupert Murdoch's home base to start his evil empire. But I'm sure its inhabitants aren't as bad as he is.

So if you had to choose, which sucks more, Queensland or South Australia? I think the former is populated by ignorant rubes, based in part on what you've told me.

You guys joke about New Zealand the way we Yanks make fun of Canada. I wonder who the Kiwis make fun of? Fiji-ians? Antarctica? Smiley

Niue.

Queenslanders are boorish; South Australians are boring. Matter of personal preference, really.

Do you mean Nauru?

I prefer boring, moderate North Dakotans over boorish fundie Texans any day.
