Try knocking around Bankstown, Bass Hill, Liverpool, Cabramatta for a day.
Places like Rockdale they can't even obey the "No Smoking" laws at outdoor cafe's and even have ashtrays still on the tables. Russian mob seem to dominate the area.

Yup - Sydney is another capital city which has similar problems to Melbourne, I'm pretty sure Cabramatta played host to our first confirmed political assassination (Donald Mackay is technically 'missing').
I've only been to Sydney three times - Rooty Hill, Mt Druitt, Penrith, Circular Quay, Annandale and the CBD.
Mt Druitt Westfield was an experience
With Sydney it seems the majority of Lebanese migrants settled in the Western suburbs during their civil war in the 1970s when we took them in and a lot of Iraqis in the 1990s also ended up there.
Both Melbourne and Sydney are the two big capital cities on the radar that take the majority of overseas migration, last year Melbourne took 45% of all international arrivals.
