The Visa Council was put to the test in Episode 024 with these cases.
@paulrunslongPaul had a friend send a link to a Chinese bank describing various Australian cities including Adelaide as a place where the pure and plain life is practiced. He replied:
@runners_kitchen @mel_brennan Adelaide- “the pure & plain life@ ?! Sounds like a boring place.
The Council agreed he was not accusing Adelaide of being boring but, rather, of having fun with the bank’s description. He had no case to answer.
@ayygron
Ayygron was chatting with a friend in New Jersey who had just claimed New Jersey was smelly and boring, to which Ayygron replied:
@elliesgoulding adelaide is where i live in australia and its really boring too so i getcha
She later continued:
@elliesgoulding its not a pretty place at all jfc
After the Council deciphered JFC, it agreed that Ayygron’s visa should be revoked.
@AdelaideMade
The Made In Adelaide account was found sharing this story:
@anderson_lainie Was speaking to people in Brisbane this week- said they thought #Adelaide was boring. Showed them pics – now want to visit.
The Council applauded Made In Adelaide’s work and awarded a Visa.
@smiffys4
Sharon Smith, a local journalist and broadcaster, chimed in the Made In Adelaide conversation and added:
I’ve always said the people who knock #Adelaide have either never been here or never left @anderson_lainie: MT @AdelaideMade
For this sterling piece of wisdom, the Council heartily awarded a Visa.
