Welcome to South Australia...the new Tasmania

Australians have this joke about Tasmania. Because it is isolated and remote from the rest of the country, its population is small. So what happens a lot is the kids grow up and then move to the mainland. Some would g for work and some would go in search of a mate.

Back in the day this travel may have not been so avaliable given the level of technology ie) no planes and irregular boat rides.

So when a young person was searching for a mate, they had limited options. There are apparently countless stories of brothers marrying sisters or cousins etc etc. Basically incestuous things which are pretty disgusting when you thing about it. Yet this is not something you hear abouta lot these days.

However a story came about yesterday which made my stomach churned. Twas a story about a father and a daughter, getting jiggy with it (oh I can feel my stomach churning now) and wait for it....

HAVING A BABY

Bad!! Read all about it at this link

But this did not happen in Tasmania, it happened in South Australia.

I can just imagine the new tourism advertisement campaign.

South Australia...the new Tasmania

South Australia.....the place where families really come together

This is the state that has the highest rate of serial killers per capita, where people are so bored that they decide to join Al-Qaeda so they can can have a nice 5 year holiday in Guantanamo Bay.

But back to the couple at hand.

It appears they may not have known each other for a few years but only met each other after the mum passed away. That she said that she thought he was "he's not too bad" if she had met him at a bar and that he initially thought it was wrong but then decided to have go at his own daughter is well.....

CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean I know they were lonely and they were feeling alittle randy but my gosh.....this is to much to the extreme.

Added to this is she was married when they first got together but left her husband (whom she had 2 kids with).

Last but not least....they had a child some years ago but she/he passed away due to a heart condition.

So imagine the daughters' daughter, her dad is also her grandfather.

Only in Tasma...whoops I mean South Australia.
