Might as well have moved to Nigeria
People moan about how nobody can cope with the conditions when it snows in the UK.
Well guess what folks, it's hot in Perth today and if you are caught with your aircon on it's a thousand dollar fine.

This reminds me of doing my homework by candlelight during the three day week.

As for elec, dont start me on that, our house is the end of a power line, we have constant battles with SEQEQ about power problems. Can get three power outs or surges a week but they only last seconds, cant tell you what its cost us in blown appliances. Scared witless the AC will go, dont think I would survive:scared:

I personally think that all these cutbacks in the ed system are the same tactic as the push that went on to get people into private healthcare. Keep hacking away at the state schools, make it so publicised that the Private schools are getting all the funding then of course more and more people will go Private. No class system in OZ eh
As for kids in this heat, its primative. We have our mates 7 year old back for 2 weeks, he is begging us not to send him to school, it upsets me every morning but what can I do??, yesterday it was so much cooler and off he went quite happy. Hes aussie, born & bred but he hates the bloody heat so too the rest of his class according to the aussie teacher.
