Why Western Australia is Empty
Hello Patrons,
We've done in-depth videos about Tasmania and South Australia, so we're continuing the trend and have now made one on Western Australia. Let's take a look at how WA was shaped into what it is today.
Remember that sources will now be included at the bottom of these posts for your early access patreon videos. Those of you who want further reading should check them out and tell us what you think!
Thank you all for the support, The FJ Crew

Want to here about Batavia
It’s satire guys 😂 calm down!
Interested in a Batavia video, but the political analysis videos are more important for democracy
HJs jokes? You’ve been here enough jordies to know chicken treat exists! We even had a shop nearly poison a bunch of people with caustic soda in lieu of salt on the chippies
You don't need me to tell you this but I will. Avoid deep links re sources. They will break and in will roll the porn sites. From experienc, both bitter and amusing.
QUEENSLANDER!
So the T’othersider/WA rivalry is literally that Simpsons episode that had Old and New Springfield. “The RICH SIDE OF TOWN”.
*L’Eau (water in French). Actually, Perth is quite nice - like Brisbane but not humid, which is a good thing. Yes, lots of mining, but fair manufacturing (Bunbury). Wine regions and nice things in the South West Corner. And truffles.
Gloria: any water? Moto moto: nope, just more diamonds and gold
Hey! We actually have a really good flower festival
All I hear is fuck yeah WA we’re killin it. If ya disagree fuck off back to the east with ya soy lattes.
Missed the easy lay-up of Majorhard, not microhard. Unsubscribing
T’othersider living in Perth and the secessionist mindset is real. Place is basically Arrakis except its iron ore not spice.
WA would be surprisingly good for a semiconductor industry, considering the quality of their sand
Can you say more about this? Recently did some reading on sand and the semiconductor industry
Fuck off, ya Eastern States dog cunt. Eat a sandy dick ya flog. Talk more about us nearly eradicating the Libs from government. You didn't mention meth enough. I think Gero and Bunghole might be the vying for the capital of Australia in use and production. Also, we've got Margaret River, which is like the Byron of NSW except with only 5 people living here and not full of T'othersiders.
Oi, mate. S'cuse me how can WA be empty if keep diggin' up iron? checkmate mouthy funny man - Stick to talkin' about Byzantium buddy.
Valid
When is Victoria coming bruh you never talk about us
