Just...as a matter of interest:
Eight of this year's drive-by shootings have been clustered in Sydney's south-west: Auburn, Heckenberg, Guildford, Arncliffe, Smithfield, Fairfield and Greenacre.
...Auburn and Guildford, both near Granville, is what I'd call west, and not south-west, although it's a matter of personal preference. Heckenberg, Smithfield, Fairfield and Greenacre are all generally around the western area near Cabramatta, so there's a definite cluster there.
The fact that Arncliffe got thrown in there as "Sydney's south-west" is either completely arbitrary or just plain laziness to look up a street directory. The only thing east of Arncliffe is the airport and Cook's River, which runs straight into the Pacific. Maybe all areas west of the Pacific are "south-west Sydney"? Who knows =__=
As a completely unrelated complaint about statistics, there's this dental ad on TV now which has a catch line "the toothbrush more dentists use" (or something like that...can't remember if it was toothbrush or the 8000 other tooth-related items allowing you to do more things to it than you can with your laundry). That line really bothers me. "More dentists use"? More dentists than what? Than hamsters?
