Never said Brisbane is a "hellhole" but there are many problems that need to be addressed. It is very car dependent, has poor public transport, the arterial roads and freeways are often choked with traffic.

Having said that, it has some of the best weather in the world, especially in winter, and probably the most beautiful urban parks outside of North America. It's also close to some of the best beaches in the world.

However, this "Australia's New World City" propaganda being promoted by the BCC ( Brisbane City Council ) is just nonsense and bullshit.

I tried to post a You Tube link to Archie Luxury "Brisbane Sucks" , "Australia's New World City", "BCC Delusions of Grandeur", but was unable to for some reason.
I am a big fan of Archie Luxury, a local Brisbane boy like me who is very non-PC.
