Some of the Red Balloon activities are available in all States. There may be a contact in Qld, or perhaps check on-line.

Unless methods have changed South Australian apples are put on trucks and transported interstate. In fact 50 + years ago some were packed by growers, transported to Sydney then put on ships and exported to England. We know growers who lost huge crops of apples when the Suez Canal was closed...

This is not about the spelling mistake. Kmart brand products would be manufactured by a large well known company. I wonder if Kmart are selling products with the manufacturers' names on them as well as their own brand. There is a huge range of Supermarket brand products that the "big name"...

Later tests sometimes show the condition has deteriorated fairly quickly. I have a condition that was mild. In less than 2 years it is now moderate.

The rules for Home Care Packages change (in Nov I think). It is ok introducing more packages but more carers have to be found to help people.

Maybe the baby was asleep. Is there more than one person listed to pick the child up? Everybody has a "double". Obviously the Childcare Centre didn't check their records either. Many you have to have a pass or know the pin code to get into the centre building.

Some illnesses such as uncontrolled Epilepsy you have to fight very hard to get any DSP even with comprehensive reports from GPs, Neurologists and other specialists, even if you constantly lose consciousness, shake a lot or have absence seizures where you suddenly can't move or slow down but...

Prices are no longer fixed like they used to be. There is now promotions that temporarily reduce prices and there has been for 50 + years. I worked in distribution for 50 years and retired 16 years ago Different businesses have vastly different rents costs (also includes % of turnover), includes...

There are essential services needed for safety in the region. An Art Gallery is not essential. I guess there is open space in libraries, council buildings etc. that could be used for art workshops. Many have areas for child activities which wouldn't be used all the time.

Some Retailers, Wholesalers etc negotiate prices with growers, manufacturers etc. In some cases the manufacturers contact the retailers. It helps increase sales when prices are lower. I worked in the industry for 40 years and we received a constant flow of new price lists, mostly price...

A Gold Card (I presume it is Australia wide) Ambulance is free. My Dad had problems because he kept getting accounts he had to contact the Ambulance Service about. He had numerous injures as a result of WW11 when he was in RAAF and was sent to England. The Watch Tower he was on was bombed. He...

Can you request that the credit card be "frozen" so it can no longer be used? I know you can "freeze" a bank account in joint names by simply calling the bank. I know a lady who did that when she and her husband separated. Later that day her husband tried to empty and close the account.

Another risk is how you put your foot on the frame on the floor that sliding doors fit to. Even with heel, toe if you miss seeing something on the ground it can "roll" under your foot and you fall. If you visit people who have a baby gate and don't concentrate on lifting your feet higher that...

I wonder how may of the items were donated by others. It mentions in the article that some were

It is a pity the Police hadn't noticed this and pulled them over. It is an offense to have anything hanging outside of vehicle window, door etc. That includes your arm, hand etc. I know it is in SA. There was an incident many years ago where a passenger had the lower part of his arm out side...
