House Fires N Stabbings

Has anybody noticed that there has been at least one house fire in Australia every day this year....Mainly Sydney and Melbourne.
So what is going on?? It used to be that one house fire per year in my old home town was a news item; (and that was when most people had open fires in the lounge room fire place.) Why are they burning; is it to do with substandard construction or maybe lithium battery fires or maybe arson attacks?

What about stabbings? Every day somebody is stabbing someone......I guess since the gun Buy back the hoods have taken to using Machete's

A strong economy is a happy nation. Do todays times look like a healthy strong economy to you Adrian?
We're in an economy of hardship & desperate times & desperate times cause people to do desperately stupid things.
We're in a recession, covered up by migration, whilst our government continues to point the finger of blame overseas.
We are a nation of every natural resource available? We should be capitalizing on our own natural resources, instead of continuing to sell off resources raw overseas, for a mere pittance?  
Whilst other nations of mas populations grow stronger through their exports, we continue to grow weaker through cheaper imports.
As unfortunate as the times of today are, more hardships are to follow, before we see any chance of better times ahead.

Very true mate and this morning another stabbing and fire overnight.
Times were tough in the eighties when we purchased our house at 17% interest rate but people were not killing and burning en mass.
Something very nasty is happening in this country and the people have become too apathetic to be bothered doing something about it. the countries industry is all but non existent, we have been made to believe that wind farms and solar power is our only option. Lithium batteries are supposed to be our savior....Ye Gods and Little Fishes are we truly so stupid as to buy that bull Shite.

Immigration has blown out of all sane proportions and a great percentage of those arriving now are unskilled and with low education standard which makes them a major burden on our already exploding Welfare system.
if we have to bring in Immigrants then bring them from countries where the people are not killing each other every day as they have done since almost the beginning of time. We need people who do not solve their problems with Machetes, Guns bombs and all other forms o mindless savagery.

Our farmers are struggling to stay viable  meanwhile we continue to bring in frozen  bread, fruit and veg and everything else from OS.
Our Mining industries are on the brink of collapse, Iron, Steel, aluminum production needs to be bolstered if they are to survive.

Solar panel installations have exploded across Australia to the extent that the electricity supply companies are only offering a few cents per kwh.
Wind power is all but useless, Electric cars are great for around town driving but the electricity that is required to recharge the batteries is very rapidly becoming dearer and any savings you may make compared to petrol power will be fast chewed up when you have to buy a new battery or a new car in 5 years time or so.

Man! oh man! the shite is really going to hit the Economy fan in a few years time
