Browsing through the local Australian news today, a headline caught my eye; I can’t believe this would happen to him. My eyes scrolled below the headline and without hesitation, I instantly knew why Hayden Burnes was murdered.
In a time where one minute the world thinks it’s in a recession, the next it’s in a depression and the next still everything is gunna be ok, a bunch of crackpots held a meeting at Perth Mint (acutal photo above) in Australia’s west and pondered… ‘so, what are gunna do with it?’ ‘all 54 [...]

Trying to figure out the best days for garbage collection, improving traffic flow on the streets, developing and maintaining the boundaries and relationships between business and residential zones… …these are just some of the many things I’d expect to be handled by local Australian city councils.
