I was there once. It was hot and muggy and generally unpleasant.
Seems a fair summary.
Gold Coast (east of the M1 at least) has the beaches and rainforest in the mountains to at least.compensate. I lived and owns an apartment on the ocean there for a few years, as I couldn’t afford NZ, lots of Kiwi’s there as well.
Australian governments spent more than $20.5 billion on first home buyer help in the past decade, which made housing affordability worse by driving up property prices and left existing homeowners richer, new research found.
Weird anectode, we used to have 50 acres behind Coffs Harbour (48 acres of bush), when we had excess we’d sell some to the local organic wholesaler. She inisited it was perfect or customers wouldn’t buy it. I was kind of bemused because the only way it’s getting that way in any volume is pesticides.
Another anecdote, we had all sorts of different fruit but they onky wanted the same fruit you get supermarkets, as that was all that sold (apple, bananas, mandarins and oranges…we only had the latter two)
Its always bemusing/upsetting that people would Vote LNP. I have no idea why when their polices are based on hate and hurt and and magical thinking yet their toxicity is so poular they’ve pulled Labor to their toxoc neo liberal way way of doing things .
All around us is complete policy failure (education, health, housing, Climate, environment, tranport etc) over 40-50 years and yet this is rewarded by voters ?
