As a resident of the former and a native of the latter, and passionate about both, I’m wondering how both are doing at the moment. One thing that coming from one and living in the other does for you is give you a sense of perspective. That leads to this immediate judgment: however anxious New South Welshman are currently about the future on average they are well on their way to being twice as wealthy as the average South Walian. Their GDP per head is already 1.60 times that of Old South Wales and on current trends they will be twice as wealthy by 2025. This wasn’t always the case. But then the two have been going in opposite directions since the 1920s.
