    Should Canberra have ever been built?

    Simple question

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    No. If the Eastern States could not decide who should have the honour they should have built the parliament in Perth. That way they would have all been equally pissed off , we would have a national capital with a bit of character and probably a couple of decent stadia.

    You guys are terrible - you bag people who diss Perth but you're happy to do it to another state/territory.
    Give Canberra a chance - once you've lived there for a 6 month period you earn the right to bag it if you still feel that way.
    Otherwise if all you do if visit there once every two years, go from Train Station, to Casino, King O'Malleys, Bruce Stadium and back to King O'Malleys/Casino again, you're really not giving it a fair chance!

    There is a funny quote in the book The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith when they are talking about a capital city around federation.

    What have it between Melbourne and Sydney? Where is that? Wagga Wagga? We can't call our capital Wagga Wagga- we'd be the laughing stock of the whole world!

    Thanks Ex - I would have been considered one of those dickheads for the 18 months I spent there then!
    About 80% (approximation) of the population of Canberra come from other places in Australia, so you're pretty much calling anyone from Australia a dickhead!!
