acerage1 Wasn't complaining that my wife not driving was an issue. You would be amazed how not having a licence in suburbia is not a be all and end all. Obviously we all pick our residence factoring in education, transport and social services, to name a few. I'm not sure about other states but if you're on 150k in WA and you want a home, you can have a mortgage under 300k easily without going regional. And the older areas will have better infrastructure, esp transport wise. Any way, I'm not a Liberal voter so there is rarely an opportunity when Col says anything I can agree on. This was a rare exception. In summer, as a defense to rising electricity he whacked UP, he said aircon was not necessary. Makes you want to go to Parliament house and rip out every air con ;))))
