There's one thing that few people know about the egg debate. The eggs that the media claim are flooding in from interstate are actually from SA itself. These eggs are just packaged interstate, and the labels on them claim they were from other states. I am aware of this because I have spoken to peopl...

A motorway toll doesn't need to be fixed. It can vary according to the length of motorway used by using an e-tag. A levy for those using the airport should have the fee added to their airfare ticket. There are a lot of families who live in the outer southern and northern suburbs where there is only ...

While I was in Hong Kong I noticed that some schools that I visited had programs specially designed to teach children not only about Hong Kong, but promoting it to others on the streets. The results aren't surprising, as basically every second local I bumped into had virtually given me an endless li...

It was a waste of money and effort to make all those changes in the first place. Now it's even worse that some of the changes are being reverted.

International is very similar to Domestic. There's glass walls that can be opened and closed to create more or less gates in the International area. On days where there are few international flights the area is small, but on days when more international flights depart it gets larger. It's spacious e...

A loop system really isn't going to be very effective. You can see the problems that are now forming in Melbourne with their City Loop which is now over 20 years old. A Brisbane style underground group of city stations with cross city suburban services is far more effective.

If Oaklands Interchange is going to be constructed by the end of 2006, it should be starting now, or it should've months ago.

If they're developing housing around the interchange, the new development should be well linked to the station and to Diagonal Road.
