No your feedback is in regard to your drug riddle suburb of Perth. We would never include the rest of Perth let alone the rest of Australia in your life miseries.

Absolutely !! Well said.... Look at the state of things now where people are afraid to have an opinion through fear of upsetting someone its just beyond stupid how damaging left wing politics are damaging society ( My opinion)
I am NOT politically correct one thing I recently thought amusing.. Watching the news one morning S.B.S. Where they have the Indian news. The commentator was buzzing! Because a man of
Indian heritage was in the top job! He said the Empire now has as its head a son of India he went on to say..... Perhaps the British are changing their racist views at last. I won't tell you what I was thinking as it is not politically correct all I will say is..... British are so racist! Would India accept a white man of European descent as president??? Joking !

Its like the M.O.B.O.S. How would a M.O.W.O.S. Go down? I am far from Racist before anyone wants to have a dig I have 5 nationalities in my family and a mixed race child of my own. I am just tired of this lets beat up the British forever and blame them for colonising countries and enslaving people. Lol! Its an absolute joke! Lots of white people were slaves it does not belong to black skinned people it gas happened that they were amongst the last race to be slaves. I don't believe colonising exists actually we are all humans and the planet belongs to everyone I guess the sooner borders and flags are removed the better.

Mrs M

So ridiculously funny! Argentina started it NOT Margaret thatcher! She ended it and in doing so did not attack mainland Argentina it was purely to liberate the people of the Falklands who were of British decent NOT Argentinian do you understand that ? And to be factual with you so that you know... It was a 10 week brief undeclared war.

Re Harold wilson ...... He was morally opposed to the Vietnam war and could see that it would end in folly ! Its a pity the Labour leader Tony Blair didn't have the same view as Harold Wilson isn't it.

Can't you refrain from sprouting your nonsense. Drugs riddle Australia and impacting on all walks of society. Australians remain the biggest casual users of drugs in the world. Yes pretty much all of Perth is impacted as real estate agents will concede. Better suburbs make it while I guess, poorer ones are victims of it. Only you can answer why you appear in denial with regards to this cancer sweeping Australia and corrupting in the process.

I have to agree on this not long after we had first arrived in Perth WA we went our first party ((organised through a football club) half way through the night I said to my OH “the ladies toilets smell funny (and not in the way you may think lol) and they are packed” he said “that’s the drugs” I was shocked as I had never been anywhere were “doing” drugs was “normal” the crowd at the party were from all “walks of life” even the club secretary was “smoking away” this was back in 1998….fast forward a few years later and two friends children “passed away” through drugs one went to a very posh school in Perth the other was from a really nice and “normal” family…drugs do not have a class system and in my opinion there are no excuses to take drugs unless for real medical alignments.

All good where I live. In fact, mates mine who's kids are nearly finishing school or early into university are surprised at how little they drink. Times have changed from when I was that age. However I accept your location has a very different culture. Time to move.

I guess you refer to the funny bacco?. I'.m indifferent to that even though it is said to be stronger I believe from my day. My biff is amphetamines (Meth or Ice) Too easy to make, highly corrupting of all aspects of society, heavy foreign input in organisation of criminal activity , The narrative has changed over the past five years in media outlets like West Australian newspaper. They then referred to Perth as Meth City. Now any reporting is relegated to back pages. Lots I could say on the matter but little point, besides articulating disgust on many levels. Not least those putting self interest in the terms of greed over the wellbeing of the place they live and call home. The manufacture of has become so mainstream in Perth, due to the fear factor not great. Too say it is widespread around me would be an understated claim to say the least. Often hiding behind respectability, children, well turned out, very middle class , often professional , and so on. Lots of retired involved as well. Lots of migrants as well. I really wonder how they expect Back packers to continue doing jobs no one wants when such lucrative means are on hand of making money.
As for class system, that's true to an extent, but those that I see really impacted on the streets tend to be the vulnerable. It is playing havoc on Aboriginal communities as well as smaller country communities. We have lost this and just waiting for the meth market to become too crowded (less money to be made) and heroin and cocaine to compete in the market . At least those are not of the simplicity to make that would allow mass manufacture in their kitchens, bedrooms, laundries, camper vans and toilets.

Kids don't drink anymore compared to previous generations. Less sex it's said as well. There is no place to move in Perth that is not without 'issues'. Insane as to how widespread it is. Any real estate will know, most tradies as well. One would have to be very unaware to not have some knowledge as to what is going on. I'm sure Sydney would not differ too much. Many do know the increasing 'new norm' though.

Beoz

Sydney is very different to Perth on many accounts. As I keep reminding you, what happens in isolated Perth isn't reflective everywhere else. Same seems to be the case for sex. Sex is going crazy in Brisbane so this bored housewife says.

Sadly while Perth is a standout on the matter, it is far from alone. We are attracting numerous Vic's especially (from high number of plates in Inner City, and lesser but noticeable QLD followed by SA plates) It can only be higher rewards attracting them over this side. I think I mentioned The Daily Mail's recent heading on the drug issue getting out of hand in Sydney. I wonder if those bored Brisbane teens will set a trend? Out of the kitchen and into the bed?

Beoz

I wouldn't be at all surprised if this bored Brisbane housewife is making this stuff up. However quite an achievement making the headlines without any proof whatsoever.

One thing that is very distinct in Perth is the amount of anti social people that just hover in the city after dark. You don't really get it on such a prolific scale in other Australian cities as you do in Perth. If you are out in Perth and need to get back to a hotel on Hay Street by foot is not exactly a relaxing affair. Don't get this in any other Australian city.

Pollyana

Nope, just look at the rag its printed in. We have to read that piece of junk, and the Courier Mail daily for work. There's an increasingly large amount of totally ridiculous stories like this in both of them, but the truth is that people fall for the clickbait, and even subscribe so that they can read this junk. While people pay money to see what the story is behind the sensational headlines, the papers will keep publishing garbage.

Beoz

Nope to what? I think we agree on all counts.

Pollyana

Nope to it being an achievement to make the headlines - shes just the latest bit of clickbait!
