What a well thought out suggestion to address the funding dilemma faced by the aged-care sector! Bravo. Perhaps there also could be changes made that would allow us to call for insurance after our house catches fire? Cheers.

A rare Find, and battered a bit
(Preview)
1st coin picked up for many moons. It looks like it has done 10 rounds with Yobar's road train on a gibber road. A further sign of cashless society ?

Another price increase & reduced size & failed packaging
(Preview)
Dairy Farmers pure cream was typically $5.10 for 600ml in cardboard container, convenient & easy to pour. Packaging was design genius. Now $5.50 for 500ml in a plastic container which is miserable to pour. Hung, drawn & quartered comes to mind!

Selling war medals
(Preview)
I think the proper thing to do with such a medal is to keep it in the family, at whatever cost, or donate it to the Australian War Memorial. Selling it to the highest bidder just seems wrong.

Train lighting.

There seems to be a push by people who have lost loved ones at rail crossing accidents, and others, to now have lights installed down the sides of trains. Spare me!
