I am not good with names but his photo l did recognise. The movies names are familiar & l have seen some of his movies. Good entertainment. RIP Donald.

Not a good situation when $'s take a greater priority than a patient's health.

Yes would clear up a lot of mis-understanding Wombat with so many States sharing similar names for suburbs. He is correct. Belmont in W.A. is close to the city of Perth, the Casino, Race Courses etc & is a little more expensive to live in, whereas, once the railway updates are finished, Armadale...

There appear to be a few assumptions in your statement such as 'sloshed' & 'the gearstick position'. Definitely designed to Australian Standards that prevailed at the time. Upgrades require staff, possibly Inspectors, Rangers or Engineers from the local Council doing their job properly. How...

Don't say lightning won't strike more than once in the same place. Human error, yes l agree & common sense should prevail when designing any balcony railing above the 1st floor. Not every person is like you & l & take dangerous situations into account when using these areas. Many people use...

I did say in my original statement Murdoch W.A. l had no ideal you were in a different State because you said Armidale & no mention of a state until this comment when you stated NSW. Thanks for clearing that up. [not as if you can do as mentioned in the joke of the lady on the boat when asked...

This type of structure is unsuitable in this location.

I would suggest that there is an immediate need to review standards for such structures in light of the recent incident taking note of different apparatuses used by people in high rise buildings. The obvious solution is to do away with aesthetic glass panels which are not safe in upper floor...

Are you referring to Armadale in W.A. & if so what is the name of the attached Private Hospital which at one time may have been Galliers? St. John of God Hospital at Murdoch is of course not attached to any other Hospital. Meals are requested a minimum 1/2 an hour before wanted, prepared in the...

Who is policing those standards to make sure they are adhered to & if those standards aren't stringent enough for today's conditions what body is going to correct this anomaly before someone is killed?

Could this be the obvious difference between a Government Hospital & a Private Hospital?

With the 'catch call' regularly heard for more hospital beds l believe this would alleviate those problems. There may be a need to employ more specialist staff as those mentioned in the story to visit patients, but if the patient is recovering better because they are at home, there isn't a...

I worked with glass some years ago & believe in situations where heights & glass are involved the glass thickness can remain at 19 mm safety glass but THE GLASS PANEL SHOULD BE FULLY FRAMED. In the situation with the lady the bottom & top rails of the panel, if enclosed in a wide top & bottom...

I have been in the same psychiatric hospital when l was 19 & again @ 22 years of age. I found male staff were the worse for being unhelpful & at times bullied male patients. On one occassion l was with other patients in a room playing pool when a Scottish male nurse & another male nurse entered...

[Cleaning the outside of the window can be done inside the home]. While standing inside the home you are able to lift the sash out of the frame. Slide the sash to the middle of the window, a hand either side of the sash & lift upwards, (approx 15 mm), then tilt the bottom forward to clear the...

First time reading this story for me & l normally read every story here. When did l miss this before???

I don't intend trying this to see if it helps my hearing aid batteries.

I will give them a go. Tim Tams are a nice treat.

As children we used to have a dry Weet - Bix topped with Vegemite. Still enjoy it today in different situations, such as a Vegemite & cheese toasted sandwich & even go to the Pantry with a teaspoon, scoop it from the jar & slowly eat it.

I didn't think of calling a snake catcher when told a snake had slithered into the house & into the storeroom. Killed it, called the authorities & was asked if it was still alive because they wanted it. Best way to lure this out would have been with a plate of milk, apparently.
