Andrew Leigh spruiks the northside, but not Belconnen

Hmmm,
– The inner south has tyre slashers and Mully shrines;
– the inner north has too many cyclists, drug warfare and stabby loons;
– the far south has the Tuggy thuggies and security guards being stabbed in Coles,
– Woden has more white commodores and bogans per capita and lots of exciting police chases
– the far north is a desolate, treeless wasteland
– Belco has petshops being rolled at 9am

Which leaves Queanbeyan…

Mercy me! I didn’t realize it was that sort of a place.

It hard to say what is the bigger hole – Belconnen or Gungahlin? Belconnen at least would be less offensive on your death certificate. Gungahlin……the place is an out of the way, characterless, ugly as sin hole.

But then again, this isn’t saying much because anywhere is better than the parliamentary triangle.

Let me guess, you’re a renter

Could Andrew Leigh be any more of a Labor cheerleader if he tried. His radio work is sad, so sad. He manages to never answer a question is all flowery and gushy about all things Labor. That and he looks disturbingly like that beautiful man who used to do the weather on WIN

Sounds to me like you’re the kind of person who rarely ventures outside a square kilometre radius of where you live and just labels anywhere else as a “hole”.

For a reasonably progressive city, Canberra has a lot of elitism.

Not that one would be likely to care what is on her/his death certificate, but I imagine that Balmain, for example, was once not all that desirable. We can all guess but who really knows what these places will be like twenty, fifty or hundred years from now.
