What's the Quangers bit??

oh oh LSWCHP…
hahahahaha,
Just been browsing and seen your reply,,,haven’t checked any others yet (must make note to do so soon)

Oaks Estate has had its share of problems in the past, but it’s really not that bad, especially compared to some parts of Canberra.

Kambah and Charnwood?

“Just Thinking”?

I’m disappointed by the apparent lack of appreciation for the cosmically profound irony on display here.

queanbeyan has courts? i thought the local sheriff woulda juz sidled up to the culprit, said ‘we don’t like your type hereabouts, jayydin smith’ and shoot him or take him to the nearest tree an’ rope him up…

“I moved here from Sydney about 6 months ago, to Oaks Estate. Ever since I haven’t stopped hearing about what a rubbish area it is to live in! Someone said “oh you poor thing, living there!”…ummmm? There are a few ratbags on a couple of the streets but apart from that we’ve had no trouble…our neighbours are lovely, there is a nice park that I take my boy to, a community garden and it is only twenty minutes to work, in the city! “

What you’re describing is the typical Canberran ignorance of what life is like outside the ACT. I have to say, though, that it’s not as bad as it used to be.

Oaks Estate has had its share of problems in the past, but it’s really not that bad, especially compared to some parts of Canberra.

It’s an important lesson to be learned here. I think the ACT needs its own Berlin wall with Queanbeyan, complete with razor wire, dog patrols, and a landmine strewn no-mans land section. There should be one checkpoint to cross this border.

Anyone not from the ACT wishing to enter, should be subject to rigorous body searches, retinal scans, and be expected to provide at least four valid proof of citizenship papers or documents, including a passport and drivers license. If they achieve this there should be a mandatory intelligence test and a taste, style and decency interview. If they manage to score 90+ out of a 100, there would only be a morality exam, and a philosophical and political ideology review, and then they may be granted a pay pass to the ACT, (if they don’t look like the wrong sort of person.)

Or we could just take it that the OP contains a wealth of blatant stupidity.

I have been a quiet observer of RiotAct for some time but just felt I needed to sign up and post a reply here. I moved here from Sydney about 6 months ago, to Oaks Estate. Ever since I haven’t stopped hearing about what a rubbish area it is to live in! Someone said “oh you poor thing, living there!”…ummmm? There are a few ratbags on a couple of the streets but apart from that we’ve had no trouble…our neighbours are lovely, there is a nice park that I take my boy to, a community garden and it is only twenty minutes to work, in the city! This especially nice since I used to drive about an hour to work. The place is no worse that most suburbs in Sydney where I have lived…doesn’t matter where you go, idiots are everywhere.

And it’s interesting how many people have no idea whether Oaks Estate is NSW or ACT.

I wonder how many ‘Quangers’ there are every morning in the ACT courts?

Hey ‘JustThinking’ why don’t you think before you type it might just save us all. I suggest that in most cases a town doesn’t get a bad name because offenders come from interstate or intrastate.

Canberra has a ‘bad’ name because the press always state ‘a decision was made by Canberra today’ instead of saying ‘a bunch of politicians from all over Australia made a decision’.

It’s the ACT Govt’s way of paying NSW back for all the millons of dollars owed by the NSW Govt for all the NSW patients who use the ACT Health System.

Pay up now – or we’ll send more undesirables across from Oaks Estate to steal your priceless Picture magazine collection, or your Winnie Blues and thongs.

EXTREMELY savage budget cuts to the NSW education system are evident in your post and I’d also add that QBN is just a place with people like me and possibly monkey’s like you.
