    I have certainly told my daughter I don't want to go into aged care. And given what some family members do to others and then paid carers, you wonder how some people sleep at night but obviously they don't have a conscience at all. Some people are a disgrace.

    The $5 billion airport gamble: Why airlines are giving the cold shoulder to Australia's newest aviation hub

    Sounds like total lack of planning and forethought to me. Transport links should have been ready to roll as soon as the airport was ready to open and anything less is just asking for trouble. You do have to wonder about the morons making these decisions after the millions or billions being spent.
