    Re Bunnings, they are another company that bulk buys. They are doing better than companies such as Mitre 10 which is very expensive and always has been.

    Unsettling discovery near Aussie reservoir kicks off controversy—‘This is so bad’

    My understanding is that some kangaroos carry disease or parasites. That is all the more reason not to leave them in the open air to spread contamination. We desperately need that drinking water - not for it to be contaminated for humans or wildlife. Some farmers rescue joeys and bottle feed...
