There's always Glenorchy and the Stags.

The Stags are the Rugby Union team based in Glenorchy, where I'm from.

To be honest (Considering that approximately 45% of our people down here are over the age of 60), I don't think there's a point in starting up a team here, I mean just not enough people play sports down here, that I know of, don't get me wrong, we like watching, just not playing.

That's exactly why you need a team down in Tassie. It'll be filled with bring-ins from the other states, but that's every footy team these days.
Yes.

Meh, I prefer the whole quiet nature tourist destination feel that's unique to this place, heck it's like I never moved from New Zealand, plus they sound the same down here too with the Aucklanders, but if it'll bring more tourism, I guess we need more jobs down here anyway.

Speaking of which, I'm not sure how India works, I mean they have a Prime Minister, but does that mean they view the Queen as their sovereign or do they princes and stuff like that?

True. I meant though that the monarchy does have that unifying factor in the Commonwealth games I suppose, but other than that, I couldn't care less. Live in Australia, let alone Tassie, moves on. :p

Yeah, and practically every Caucasian European alive, I mean William of Normandy died a thousand years ago and his descendants have been really getting friendly with the neighbours if you know what I mean.

Well to be honest, Australia is more like the United Kingdom, in the sense that each state acts as if they were a sovereign country protecting themselves from outside forces, i.e. Strict quarantine by Western Australia. I suppose we are a federation, but still...

As I said, practically every European alive is also in some way related to them as-well.
