When I visit Melbourne, it is s imply horrific. The traffic is very fast, and there is so much of it. I drove in it for 50 years, and came to accept it. However because the public transport system is hopeless, people drive up to 3 to 4 hours per day commuting, and if you listen to the local radio while doing it is downright depressing. If you try to escape by moving up-country the locals guard their jobs jealousy, communications and food are costly, the council rates are doubled, and getting an education is difficult. I strongly have the opinion that depressive illness is widespread in Melbourne, and the continual aggressive and cynical political rhetoric in our media does not help anyone to live a happy life. If you talk to the kids, many of them are very negative, and getting pissed or stoned is what they consider to be 'having a good time'. I believe the king hit thing is simply an expression of protest against a hopeless existence.
