Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God went missing for six days. Eventually, Michael the archangel found him on the seventh day resting. He enquired of God, “where have you been?†God pointed downwards through the clouds.
“Look Michael, look what I've made,†said God. Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, “what is it?†“It's a planet,†replied God, “and I've put life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance.â€
“Balance?†inquired Michael, still confused. God explained, pointing down to different parts of the earth, “For example North America will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while South America is going to be poor; the Middle East over there will be a hot spot and Russia will be a cold spot.â€
“Over there I've placed a continent of white people and here I've placed a continent of black people.†God continued pointing to different countries: “This one will be extremely hot and arid and this one will be very cold and covered in ice.â€
The archangel, impressed by Gods work, then pointed to another area and asked, “What's that?†“Ahâ€, said God. “That's NSW the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful people, they have the greatest capital city in the world; it is the home of the world's finest artists, musicians, writers, thinkers, explorers and sportsmen. They are the envy of mankind the world over.
The people from NSW are going to be modest, intelligent and humorous and they're going to be found travelling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hard working and high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as speakers of truth.â€
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, “What about Balance, God - you said there will be BALANCE!†God pointed his finger towards an area in Northern Australia and replied, “Just wait until you see all the wankers I'm putting in Queensland!"
