It’s happening: Melbourne is hosting the first-ever Bunnings Warehouse Party
  • Headlining this epic event is Aussie music legends Peking Duk, who will be joined by What So Not, Kaila, NayNay and Lottie (who also moonlights as a Bunnings team member by day). It’s set to take place on August 31 in the store’s car park, with all funds raised going towards Support Act – a not-for-profit organisation that provides crisis relief and mental health support to people in the music industry.

    So it's a corporate PR charity concert event? not the most offensive thing I can think of.

    Police took extended sick leave, quit force after investigating Byron Bay death, inquest hears

    Reading the description of the state of his body, how they could at all think it was self inflicted is beyond me. And how can an ex-cop refuse to give evidence like that?
