Sounds wonderful, but I'd be very sparing when I spray it on broken skin. Eucalyptus oil is a nerve poison

Me, I think we'd be better off getting rid of state governments (and state boundaries!) and having two tiers of government - Federal, for the whole of Australia, and local - but genuinely local, not these amalgamated councils that serve themselves only.

Me, too!

More proof that health starts with a healthy gut microbiome (translation - normal balance of the right bugs/bacteria in the gut. Maybe I should try it for my depression and arthritis (and some other problems) - Himself is 10 years older than me and hasn't any of my problems - any medical...

Lawn clippings - ferment, germinate heat, can cause fires or damage bins. Mow lawn, but leave the clippings on the lawn - provide 'mulch' to reduce water demand, clippings decompose to fertiliae the soil reducing need for chemical lawn fertilizers. Bin liners = more unbiodegradable...

Australia is one of the largest beef exporting countries in the world - why should we import beef, even from a country free of diseases such as Foot and Mouth, Rabies, Swine Fever etc. - including screw worm fly infestation. That's what our quarantine measures are all about! Although I...

The SES is called out to emergencies. People in the SES put their lives on the line sometimes - even for people who ignored warnings of danger. It needs to be funded, one way or another. Yes, it is another tax at a time when people are struggling - but they'd struggle more without the...

Or is it a genuine attempt to provide sufficient funds for the SES, which gets called out not only to genuine emergencies, but also by people who've had a damaged roof for some time, but done nothing about it until it became really bad. And to repair the damage done by a tree known to be...

Watching you do stupid and dangerous things, trying to protect the majority of road users against you.

I have no problems with a government trying to reduce it's crippling debt while also trying to make roads safer for the majority to use. Have you been caught with a few speeding fines lately? Have you changed lanes abruptly, nearly (or even) causing an accident? When did you last run...

Are the details vague? They're trialing cameras in various locations to determine hotspots of driver stupidity. Probably monitoring driver behaviours - speeding, weaving, chopping and changing lanes, running lights. All of which increase road dangers.

Revenue raising while trying to improve road safety - seems fair enough to me.

Or trying to find a way to reduce road accidents

"Road safety" should be enough identification as to what the cameras are looking for - any or all aspects of road safety. Anybody worried about them seems to have a guilty conscience about driving unsafely -drink/drug driving? routinely speeding? chopping and changing lanes without...

Advice given over and over again by banks, by the government, even on TV. Probably also on the radio. 'You can't cure stupid' - but full marks for trying

I must admit, I've bought my wardrobe from Shein this year - being down to two total rags for dresses around the house, two sundresses and two 'good' dresses bought when I was several sizes larger, I was bracing myself to spend a fortune on a few new dresses - and found Shein, with lovely...

Agree in part - but private rental has regular inspections etc, and the devil's own job of evicting tenants who trash the place or don't pay the rent. Need to make it easier to evict bad tenants.

What is 'three warnings' - and why three? Tenant trashes a public housing property, renders it unlivable. 1st strike: Tenant is removed from the property, and if s/he wants, is put at the end of the list of people seeking public housing. No sympathy for those who - to put it crudely -...
