Education,health and quality of life were inferior,
It's not the forum here to go in to details as so many are happy or stuck in Aus and I wouldn't wish to insult or offend needlessly

Re: "The Scheme"
It's 9:15am in Brisbane and I can't take my eyes away from the rantings and ravings of two of my fellow countrymen, furiously tapping away on their keyboards... Isn't it bedtime over there?
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if these two get married within a couple of years.

Re: "The Scheme"
Oh, my. You didn't care for Palm Beach, Whale Beach, Woollahra, Woolwich, Hunters Hill...? Spent some time in pretty swanky places in Kelvingrove, the New Town, Mayfair, Dulwich, Virginia Water etc and could certainly see the attraction and why people would like to live there, but to say that they were vastly superior on all levels is a bit much.
I have also spent a little time in the rougher parts of Sydney and while I didn't particularly want to live or spend time there, with the possible exception of Redfern, I didn't think they were anywhere near as bad as some of the estates in London. (But I don't claim to be an expert here, I'm just mouthing off, as it were).
I agree with you, though, that it's pretty distasteful that some people use this as an opportunity to sneer at others. It reminds me that in London pubs next to mental asylums used to build elevated platforms for beer gardens so that punters could drink and laugh at the "lunatics". Like the 17th Century? You would have thought we'd learned something since then, in that case. Some people would use it as an opportunity to consider how we came to be in a situation where so many are without work, literacy, central heating. http://www.poverty.org.uk/summary/scotland.htm But others would rather throw metaphorical tomatoes at the people they consider untermenschen...

Saying that, I have seen far worse areas than that in Scotland - and England.
