The difference between 60 years ago and today is the "culture" of the people. When everyone grows up in the same culture, they know what is acceptable and only a small minority cause trouble. For example, in Broken Hill we had explosives and guns everywhere, but it was not a problem. Then "outsiders" move in, not part of the culture, and in ignorance or indifference they do things that require regulation. We had an Asian visitor who shot sheep, and claimed he was just hunting like the rest who were shooting kangaroos. Multiculturalism requires much greater regulation, but that is not effective if the newcomers do not respect the regulations and their enforcers.

Total eclipse of the heart

And every creek a banker ran, And dams filled overtop; "We'll all be rooned," said Hanrahan, "If this rain doesn't stop."

That report is a misleading simplification. AEMC projects a 5% fall in the cost of producing electricity over the next five years. However, retail prices could rise by as much as 13% over the next five years due to inflation, network and distribution costs, compliance and investment costs, demand growth, retailer return on investment, and weather volatility.

Lemon tree very pretty

Hope he didnt have a bingle on that bike.

Six white boomers are no longer allowed on the radio. And kangaroos are no longer tied down.

I think the Jap story was in a book You'll die in Singapore.

It annoys me when people write I lead the cow rather than I led the cow when it is past tense.

Somewhere over the rainbow

Loved that song as sung by Joan Baez.
