Count me in. It's like a phobia. I hate high humidity and I can't stand the idea of living in Queensland (Brisbane, Gold Coast, etc). People from the more muggy climates would laugh at me if I say that an 18C dewpoint is severely uncomfortable (@GR8CAT, where are you? ).
I find an 18C dewpoint very comfortable. People in Melbourne seem to start complaining as soon as it gets to about 14C. This seems absurd to me personally. I think a 24+C dewpoint is where it starts to become not very nice.

I definitely complain if it gets as LOW as 14C during the summer.

Los Angeles easily, Brisbane has the most overrated climate on the entire planet. The summers look like a minor improvement over the southeastern US. I really struggle to see how anyone would call the summer days there "comfortable"... what? Parts of Queensland look downright scary and as in the same scary that people use to describe "cold weather".

Definitely Brisbane, more humid summers with rain. Winters look equally gross.

LA for being drier in the summer and having slightly more sunshine
