    Very melbourne. No mention of how to address the indigenous culture. Genius in its subtly there.

    Needed to be said. Now we could do with a send up of Oz “culture” in general although I think this would pretty well cover it, especially the sport aspect.

    Very funny, OK brilliant!

    Does any other Oz state or territory place the same obscene amount of emphasis on sport as Melbourne?

    Also, Melbourne has the rudest and the worst drivers in the world. I wonder if there is any link between sport and driving?
