All-electric homes save money, emissions & health!
 Electric appliances are cheaper to run than equivalent gas. Also, If every Australian gas household went all-electric today, we would “save”  30 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions over the next 10 years.And, analysis from a team at Stanford University found that a cooktop burner on high or gas oven set to 180 °Celsius, can raise the levels of house-bound benzene (linked to blood cancer) to levels more dangerous than passive smoking.So, we should all be electrifying and the government should subsidise low-interest bank loans for domestic electrification - watch this space:https://reneweconomy.com.au/all-electric-homes-save-money-and-emissions-new-gas-connections-should-be-banned/

Dale Frank- How to do a really great painting in one day
Dale Frank is an Australian contemporary artist best known for his biomorphic abstract paintings. His practice has included found object-sculptures, performance installations, drawings and most recently paintings with sculptural elements. Frank lives and works in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia. Frank’s paintings show a particular tactility of the paint itself, particularly in the luscious ‘poured’ paintings – which embody or act as a trace of the artist in the act of making the work. His signature varnish finishes, as well as perspex and mirror –reflects the viewer in the composition as part of the work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ggh4Fpx6S1A
