Got friends traveling overseas tomorrow morning, and we were all shocked to learn that Qantas ridiculously decided to ground all domestic and international flights indefinitely since this afternoon.
With tours and hotels all booked or other arrangements been made, imagine how big the impact is to travellers all over the world!
Unbelievable! Will never fly Qantas again!

New state law change that could spark sales slump
Saw this article from Sydney Morning Herald about a state law change which:
"slashed the statutory warranty period for non-structural defects - such as painting, poor acoustics, faulty wiring, internal fittings and fire hazards - from seven years to two, and to six years for structural problems."
This is ridiculous and a horrible news to everyone. Although reducing a few years of warranty might sound like a huge saving to the builders - specially those who can't do their jobs properly - it's going to have huge impact to all consumers who were interested in building or renovating.
The report also revealed a shocking news which I never heard of:
"no home warranty insurance available to owners in blocks higher than three storeys"
Yes, that's what the article said. If this is true, wonder what would happen to those who already bought an apartment/unit that's higher than three storeys and found any problem with the property?
Gosh! The property market hasn't been that well in the past 12+ months, can't you guys who look after the law stop been so short-sighted and do some proper long term planing that's more beneficial to the general public?

Japan - 6 months after earthquake tsunami
Have a look at this post, see how much the Japanese people have achieved in just 6 months time. Just amazing.
I think this truly shows how strong the country is - not how wealthy or how high GDP is or how big the economy is - but how the whole country works together during natural disasters like this. Look at US, China and even Australia, definitely far behind.
