From escaping the so-called rat race to becoming the creator of it.

This mayor is an idiot.
I live up the sunny coast, the traffic is TERRIBLE.
The infrastructure basically hasn’t changed in 15 years.
People of working age need to realise that wages up the coast are very small compared to a city, with the drive to Brisbane and back being up to 3.5 hours out of your day. There’s a severe housing shortage “but come here anyway”

I moved up here 10 years ago, and it was a very nice place to live, but since then the traffic has become a nightmare; the trip down to Brisbane is taking longer than ever. House prices are just as expensive here as they are down south. Public transport is poor, and without a car, you are stuffed.

Why is it showing lots of scenes of Noosa, it is not part of her jurisdiction?

The most beautiful and liveable towns in Australia are New Zealand, Thailand, and Bali

So long as you don't bring in an Assistance Animal from Interstate into QLD, it's not too bad of a place to be

[Malc]

I know. Western Australia doesn't exist except for taxing us the most, but Mandurah beats all the east

[Bigdeano]

Maybe the sunshine and it’s near the coast? I’m no expert mind you

As a born-and-bred Queenslander who has spent most of his life on the Sunshine Coast, I can tell you now that we would prefer it if no more southerners came up here. Stay in your own states. We don’t need you bringing the politics you voted for down there into Queensland. We only just got rid of Labor up here. We don’t want them back in power anytime soon.
