The South Australia Metropolitan Fire Service is urging people to be careful after a bathroom in the state's mid-north almost caught alight.She says she had left a pair of glasses on the windowsill which reflected the sun's lightPort Pirie resident Vicki Heydon came home to find the roll of paper towels she had left on her bathroom vanity was smouldering.
She had placed a pair of glasses on the windowsill which she said had reflected the sun's rays coming through the frosted window onto the paper towels, almost causing a fire. "It was on one of the really hot days and I'd gone into the bathroom and I could smell a slight scorching, something really hot," Ms Heydon said."Why it would have happened was because I'd put a pair of glasses up on the window ledge earlier in the morning when I was tidying up.
"I'm definitely not putting my glasses up on the window ledge again and with the hot days, I'll just move the paper towel to the other side of the washbasin."South Australia Metropolitan Fire Service community engagement officer, Phil Evans, said incidents like this were rare, but did occur, even during cooler months.

Well it doesn't act like a developed country. Yes Australia, stop bucking the trend so the U.N (under the guise of 'sustainable development') can roll out it's authoritarian, socialist enslavement agenda. If you're willing to hand over all private property, freedom and privacy, just keep letting the U.N dictate govt policy.

The ACT's budget deficit triples amid fears that coronavirus and bushfires will blow it out furtherThe causes of the blowout include the ACT's shrinking share of GST income, falling land sales revenue and increased spending on hospitals and light rail. That's OK, Barr will just put up rates again and the idiot Canberra electorate will vote the ALP/Greens in for another term. The word 'deficit' immediately sounds alarm bells and the vision of yet another spend, spend, spend Labor government.

Our microbes could tell us whyA group of Melbourne scientists say spit samples collected from almost 1,500 Victorians are starting to give us insights into the microbial diversity of the state. It starts at the beginning too much sugar from industrial products. Toddler formula in particular over 50% sugar is a starting point.
