    Aussie dad’s roadside action raises questions for council: 'Something can happen quite quickly'

    Agree. That's why you have to observe and drive to the conditions. He didn't clear the road, just the median strip area. Those types of things are very common in built up areas. Where do stop? Clear every roadside where leaf letter is. Unfortunately, I suggest his main motivation was hid...

    Easy, no mail sorted or processed in you area. It gets trucked often hours away. Been happening in most areas for years. The regional "bandaid". All down to costs.
