....
Brisbane comes out on top. Warm to hot and sticky for most of the year, prone to catastrophic flooding and severe storms from spring to Autumn, lack of seasons, the sunniest and driest weather is during the winter months when temperatures are cooler etc.
Perth, absolutely stinking hot and bone dry in summer, severe weather in winter with torrential rain, storms and gales. Which cities have the best climate though according to their residents? Perth and Brisbane! Yeah right.... This shows a clear bias, people who live in cities often live there because they enjoy the sort of climate that city gets. Melbourne people are just pandering to the stereotype in a mindless way, it is very irritating.

Any survey that puts Canberra second of all the Australian cities has to be flawed. Next.

Probably just means the people of Sydney are now mature enough to criticize the large city they live in. Melbourne people still tend to be very hung up about being better than Sydney. I suspect Sydneysiders don't give it much thought. The question is probably a bit loaded so when asked people feel they are competing ask the other cities and then revert to type.

NSW Premier Kristina Keneally hit back at the findings, sarcastically questioning why more people don't live in Adelaide.
"I did a bit of a survey myself this morning and I checked the population figure," she told reporters on Saturday.
"The population of Adelaide - a little bit over 1.2 million people. The population of Sydney - a bit more than 4.5 million people. I think those figures speak for themselves.
"Adelaide is a great city but if it's so fantastic why aren't more people living there?"
