Australian Suburb Killer!

Now this title is not suggesting that there is a killer at large in Australian suburbia.  In fact, it is the suburbs themselves which are killing people who live in them.  You may scoff, but the article in 'The Age' newspaper gives a harrowing account of one young family's 90 minute commute in order to find an indoor swimming pool for the kids to splash around in.  They had to wait a long time for a bus.  In the rain.  And all because their own suburb doesn't have adequate aquatic facilities.  Which means that people exercise less, become obese, and die in their beds with a half-eaten chicken lodged down their throats.  Hence the title - and you thought I was exaggerating?


Inconsiderate Australian local planning committees: hang your heads in shame. You are murdering innocent Aussies!
