The US accuses Australia of modern slavery
“Your article on modern slavery made for interesting reading. The outrageous hypocrisy of the USA is breathtaking! Employers in the US have always taken advantage of their non-existent labour protection laws – what other advanced economy depends on hospitality workers working for $2, $3 or $4 an hour and tips (without which they couldn’t survive)? What other country (Western/advanced) is happy that maybe half of its citizens can’t afford health cover – and no, they don’t have Medicare!”

The troubles of on-street parking
“We visited Japan about 5 years ago and our guide in Kyoto told us that a car could not be registered unless the owner could show that they had off-street parking. This certainly led to some strange alterations to small houses to accommodate this requirement.”
