Quaint shock of the Newy newbie
Sep 26, 2020
Mark Latham says he wants to move to Newcastle. I'm not sure which suburb is in his sights, but I'll have a stab: Bar Beach? Merewether? The Junction?
He's probably not looking at an apartment overlooking the working harbour as it's a bit busy, even at night. Terrible, those sounds of a harbour. Working hard. Supporting the nation and the neglected NSW capital. But we are told Sydney desperately needs another stretch of overpriced motorway. Maybe it needs the cash to replace another perfectly fine stadium? Another hospital? Casino?
It sounds as though Latham has practically moved in, so I'll call him Latho.
Maybe Latho will move to an apartment overlooking Newcastle Beach? Maybe he has been surprised to learn that "Newcastle has great beaches"?
What he probably hasn't heard is that Novocastrians are so fed up with hearing this that we are close to igniting our frighteningly large personal stockpiles of Jim Beam in a dramatic re-enactment of the Star riot.
A lot of new residents to Newcastle will probably not know about the long-simmering resentment that exists in our fine city and region about the, let's say, quaintly surprised observances usually uttered by those fresh off the F3 (sometimes referred to as the M1 Pacific Motorway).
It's fair to say that newbies who are surprised by our smashing coastline will never know how boring they are being. This is because their Newcastle mates are probably too polite to point out to them that they seem to be embarrassingly ignorant about any place north of Hornsby or south of the Southern Highlands.
