Thank you for so eloquently making that point. That is also how I interpreted the cartoon. I have no idea how we can help Aboriginal Australians break out of this spiral. I truly hope we can find a way.

Yeah, people tried to argue that the fire risk was lower, but that its because in a large number of cases the insulation was not actually installed, or was installed so poorly that it didn't improve the R value and therefore unlikely t

It really is good news. 457 visas have been massively abused. Last week there was an article about 475 visas being used to bring in real estate agents from China to sell homes in Australia. During the mining boom they were exploited to b
