'The 100 per cent accurate Australian city power rankings. Don't bother commenting, this isn't up for discussion,' the managing director said on Instagram.

People were baffled by the ranking, with many taking particular issue with his placement of Sydney, while surprising cities such as Adelaide, Newcastle and Canberra topped his list.

GOD TIER

The self-proclaimed 'List King' controversially crowned Adelaide, Newcastle and Hobart in the 'God Tier'.

'Adelaide is Australia's greatest city. To put it simply: it's as if someone picked up Melbourne, scraped off all the bad bits and plonked it down 700km away in the best climate area in the country,' he said.

Bruno said what he loved most about Hobart was its 'near-to-no crime, cheap houses and weather that remains bearable, irrespective of the season'.

'If anything's more enjoyable than sitting back in Salamanca Place with a glass of great Tasmanian wine or whisky and watching the world go by, then I'm obviously a giant doofus who needs to broaden my horizons,' he said.

As for Newcastle on the east coast of New South Wales, Bruno said: 'It's just far enough away from Sydney to ensure all the riffraff are kept away, yet close enough that you can head into the big smoke to catch a Jonas Brothers concert.'

ROYALTY TIER

Bruno picked Melbourne, Canberra and Wollongong for his 'Royalty tier'.

'The hype is real: Melbourne is well and truly Australia's cultural capital. Put it this way, Melbourne is New York and Sydney is Miami,' he said.

He claimed nowhere else in Australia has better coffee or a 'more comfortable prison' than Canberra.

'Canberra's nightlife blows Sydney's out of the water,' Bruno said.

He said the best things about Wollongong are the beaches and a huge population of 'old folks, which is a huge plus, because you know they won't mug you or do burnouts at three in the morning'.

ADAM SANDLER TIER

In the centre of his rankings, Bruno put Geelong, Sunshine Coast and Darwin in the 'Adam Sandler Tier', which represents a middle ground of 'take it or leave it' cities.

Bruno said while the Sunshine Coast has nice beaches and 'edible' food, there are 'weirdos', 'ugly' houses and 'overly chlorinated' pools.

He said people pay 'too much for everything' in Darwin, and 'you're going to swear your bits off all year round and you'll be walking on mountains of cigarette butts'.

While for Geelong, Bruno said: 'The beaches are great and a lot of young artists and small business owners who got priced out of Melbourne now call Geelong home.'

How did the internet react to Bruno's list? 'Is this a joke?' 'It's not official, you are just taking the p*** with every list. Adelaide - WTF' 'We need to talk. I can accept Sydney... but no way Geelong beats Sydney. Geelong is a hole and Adelaide wtf' 'Bruno please. Adelaide? Come on... one of the most boring places on earth, unless all you want to do is sit at a cafe and drink wine.' 'I'm from the Central Coast and I'm okay with pleb tier. But Newcastle in God tier, puh-lease' 'As a Tasmanian living on the Gold Coast I am equal parts flattered and offended' 'I'm dying that the gold coast was too bad for even the cat vomit tier and needs a tier of its own' 'Adelaide being recognised for what it is, God's Country' 'The worst list you've ever produced mate' 'Couldn't be more incorrect' 'Not sure if I agree or not but can not stop laughing' 'I was going to passionately disagree about where you placed Sydney. But then I read your justification... and you are right' 'This is hilarious and absolutely spot on, don't let anyone tell you otherwise' 'I'm in Newcastle right now and the town is a bloody disgrace' Advertisement

PLEB TIER

Bruno said the Central Coast, Brisbane and Sydney belonged in the 'Pleb Tier'.

He said Sydney had no nightlife and there's peak-hour traffic even during off-peak times.

'There's a stereotype that Sydneysiders are arrogant, rude and materialistic, which is shocking because it's the absolute truth. It's no surprise the whole toilet paper panic-buying debacle first started,' he said.

Bruno said he felt 'sorry' for the Central Coast because all the 'worst people in Sydney moved there and turned it into an even more horrific version of Sydney'.

'Things the Central Coast doesn't have: jobs, road-worthy roads and drinkable coffee,' he said.

He said Brisbane is 'home' to the country's worst drivers because they go '6km/h below the limit and indicate for 30-seconds before finally changing lanes'.

CAT VOMIT TIER

Bruno categorised Townsville, Perth and Coffs Harbour in the 'Cat Vomit Tier'.

'If you're not melting from the heat and humidity in Townsville, you're running away from a tropical cyclone,' he said.

He said it's 'unAustralian to live in Perth' because 'everything's more expensive' and described the residents as 'anti-social reclusive' who are 'proud to live under a rock'.

As for Coffs Harbour, Bruno said if it wasn't for the Big Banana tourist attraction, no one would 'go anywhere near' there.

GOLD COAST TIER

For the first time, Bruno added a new tier to his rankings, in which he titled it the 'Gold Coast Tier'.

'If you installed a barbed wire fence around the Gold Coast, the rest of Australia would have a zero per cent crime rate,' he joked.

'Things that have never been seen on the Gold Coast: a real job, class and a buck's party that didn't end in pepper spray and handcuffs. Everywhere on the Gold Coast feels like you're on the set of an early 90s porn flick.'
