and the rising crime rate , made it wise to move further west ( about a hundred miles or so )

Yep, but I think it’s impact is particularly acute in south east queensland, because
1, for years we have had a natural birth rate up here higher than the other states.
2, we have substantial net interstate migration, each people from other states moving here.
3, we have substantial international migration.
4, As I said before south east Queensland is a base for both retirees and also has substantial amounts of people that work else where either physically eg FIFO or digitally or in both traditional and non traditional export type industries where they aren’t supplying their labour into the locally market, but add demand to the local employment market.
5, we also have substantial tourism market which adds a lot of employment demand.
Yep, there will always be pirates where ever honest folks are trying to accumulate capital.and the rising crime rate , made it wise to move further west ( about a hundred miles or so )

Go back to 1990 and Perth and Adelaide were almost exactly the same size and Brisbane was only slightly larger.I would venture to add that is possibly the same as here in WA.
Adeliade was mostly a manufacturing State, when the Unions went nuts thanks to Hawke in the 80s & 90s killing off the manufacturing industries Adeliade didnt have much else going for it, WA always had the mining & Bali for the bogans to visitGo back to 1990 and Perth and Adelaide were almost exactly the same size and Brisbane was only slightly larger.
Brisbane and Perth have roughly doubled in population since then, whilst Adelaide's seen a far more modest increase.
During the 1990's I recall people moving to WA without a job lined up. It was simply everyone knew the prospect of finding one there was better so off they went. Most stayed. Same with SE Qld.
And still have the mining and for those that must leave the country Bali.Adeliade was mostly a manufacturing State, when the Unions went nuts thanks to Hawke in the 80s & 90s killing off the manufacturing industries Adeliade didnt have much else going for it, WA always had the mining & Bali for the bogans to visit

we hed the worlds cheapest electricity untill the early 2000s well in Qld any waysAnd cheap electricity attracted manufacturing industry during the 1960's and 70's.

Things have drastically changed
I moved to Brisbane late 99 to about 2003. Was a brilliant time for a couple years. Money was everywhere. Two grocery trolleys filled to the brim was about $200. Plenty to do.I move to qld in late 90s, at the time, great riad, no traffic hams, cheaper housing, jobs, and low state taxes: rego, rates etc..and did i mention weather?

We also had rolling brown outs and black outs in the 90’s due to under investment, until we were saved by the connection to the NSW grid.we hed the worlds cheapest electricity untill the early 2000s well in Qld any ways

Went back to visit 2015 and it was dirty, run down and the feeling of growth was gone.
Was a while since I was there (in Paddington). House there at the low end was about $140k.Really? It’s booming now.
I loved here till 2001 when I left to join the Army, returned in 2018 and the place seems like it’s 3 times the size and is booming hard.
It is pretty spread out, it’s basically a city of cities, but there is lots of nice areas, and plenty of work (for anyone that wants to work that is)Was a while since I was there (in Paddington). House there at the low end was about $140k.
I found it a lot less likeable and the people had changed. Earlier on the opportunities were easy to grab in literally everything. I felt it was a lot less assessable probably 2010 onwards. It's a spread out mess.
Haven't been back for a while.
I loved it during that time period I was there Regret having to come back to nsw due to family emergency.It is pretty spread out, it’s basically a city of cities, but there is lots of nice areas, and plenty of work (for anyone that wants to work that is)
My only complaint is the mosquitos and the bad airport connections.
