Nepalese man Bishnu Aryal, who moved to Australia and saved for a deposit on a $398,950 block of land in Edmonson Park, couldn’t believe his eyes when he realised his dream home was quite literally cut down the middle.

Mr Aryal – who speaks English as a second language – employed the services of Zac Homes for a custom off-plan build worth $322,400 in 2016 and let the business get to work, saying he “trusted the process”.

The bird reportedly went missing during a race in the US state of Oregon in late October, before turning up in Melbourne almost two months later.

The doctor's itchy underpants and Australia's consumer protection laws

This is a cautionary tale about a man not washing his undies, his horrible rash and a snail.

While it sounds comical, the irritation in an Adelaide man's pants in 1931 set an important legal precedent in many Commonwealth nations.

The principles established still stand today and may even explain the tiny warnings on clothing tags suggesting you wash a garment before wearing it.

As policy debate rages about consumer protections, how did the "itchy underwear case" shape our laws? How bad was that rash? And what about the snail?

Australian cricket's team of choirboys are an elusive combination of likeability and excellence

During a lower-grade cricket game in a Melbourne park on Saturday afternoon news reached the middle that India had been bowled out for 36.

For a moment, the protagonists abandoned their attempts to relive past glories — or, in this case, repeat past ignominies — and cheered as one.

This scene, I have since been informed, was played out on grounds across the country, where Australia's astonishing bowling feat was met with a collective: "You bloody bewdy!"

Australia’s growth may ‘never return’ to its pre-virus path after trade trouble with China, says economist

Australia’s economy has been badly hit by escalating trade tensions with China — and it’s possible growth might “never return” to its pre-virus levels even when the pandemic is over, according to research firm Capital Economics.

China is by far Australia’s largest trading partner, accounting for 39.4% of goods exports and 17.6% of services exports between 2019 and 2020, the firm said.ac

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/29/trade-war-with-china-australias-economy-after-covid-19-pandemic.html

Here’s a list of the Australian exports hit by restrictions in China

China is Australia’s largest trading partner and a top export destination.

Australia is one of the few developed nations on Earth that exports more into China than it imports from China. In the 2018-2019 fiscal year, China took in about 32.6% of all Australian exports — that is about 153.2 billion Australian dollars ($116.79 billion). By far the largest export was iron ore.

Australia is the last Western holdout on the climate crisis. But some states and businesses are calling for change

Deep in northeast Australia's outback, underneath grassy eucalypt woodlands and vast grazing lands scattered with cattle stations, lies one of the world's largest known untapped coal reserves.

Queensland's Galilee Basin, an area roughly the size of Britain, is set to produce its first coal in 2021, to be moved by rail 300 kilometers to the coast, where it will be loaded onto cargo ships that will sail through the Great Barrier Reef to ship it to Asia.

What Is Bond Cleaning? How To Get Your Bond Back In Sydney?

Hey People,

I love living in Sydney and have been here for more than 15 years now. I moved here for studies and then started working here and now have my own small business. It has been fun and exciting. The only downside is that the rent is a bit on the higher side, and you cannot play around with the end of lease cleaning if you want the bond back. I have had to let go off my bond a couple of times over the years because I was never able to clean the house adequately before leaving. Since I have a small business which involves keeping the stock at home and then getting it packaged and shipped, it leaves behind a lot of dust and dirt. Although I keep cleaning regularly, deep cleaning is never possible because of the stock lying all over the place. I have been planning to buy my own place, but Sydney houses are overpriced, and I cannot afford it right now. So, I keep hopping from one place to the other and keep forgetting about the bond. But this time I made a smart decision and hired professional end of lease cleaners in Sydney for the chore. They were amazing and did everything in just a few hours. The house was literally shining. Plus, I got to keep my bond which was such a relief after so many years. I used the refund to party and shop for a few things for the new place. So here is an article that will teach you about getting the bond back in Sydney.
