  • It seems reasonable for each partner to continue to use their original family name if they want to, even if it's only the husband's name on the marriage certificate.

    If you go down the legally hyphenated name path, after a few generations, this could potentially devolve to family names like: Jones-Smith - Smythe-Johns - Longbottom-Allcock - Junior III (etc).

  • When my cat got old, she couldn't jump up onto beds and chairs anymore. So I would try to lift her up onto places she used to like.

  • Parking spaces (minimum) setout sizes are governed by an Australian Standard, which is enforced by planning and building permit compliance.

    There is usually a requirement to provide a certain minimum number of spaces depending on the building usage, which is set out in the local government planning scheme. Most of the time, the more parking you have, the less area is available for the actual building and other uses.

    The upshot is that parking is nearly always designed to the minimum standard, which these days is far too small for the large trucks that the small egos like to drive.

  • Let's not forget this is all driven by people with the right skillset, in the right place at the right time, who are hell-bent on making vast amounts of money.
