    I’m kinda interested in that the paper refers to the accused as “a Victorian man” and not “a Victoria man”. Raises time-traveling issues were a person from Victorian times settle in Australian Victoria.

      Haven’t you heard? The State of Victoria was annexed by time-travelling Victorians in the name of their queen. We’ve been at war for over a decade; it is why Australia spends any significant amount of money on its military.

      It’s been rough because the time paradoxes are not in our favour. Killing a Victorian causes a battalion of soldiers to BTTF fade from existence.

      Why would they be called a Victoria man?

      Its like saying an Alaska man instead of an Alaskan man.

      - A Victorian man from Victoria.

        But it’s always “Florida man” not a “Floridian man”.

      I’m fairly sure some parts of Australia are still pretty Victorian. Editorial pages, much of the parliament thingy, etc.
