@Noelwilson98473@SkyNewsAust@PaulineHansonOz I very very rarely go into the township. It's a disgrace. Stretch has done pretty much nothing to fix it. Very disappointed. I always escort my mother when she wants to go into the city. It's a shit hole.
I watched a documentary on SBS this afternoon. It was about Facebook. They played a small part of your coverage but with no visual. I recognised your voice @klustout :-)
Thought I'd try my old rice cooker that I brought back from Japan seven years ago. Plugged it in with the appropriate adapter. BOOM!!! Knocked out half the kitchen power. Nailed it.
