    Disgraceful. Humans are not insects.

    yes but some people dont have much choice.. good thing in Asia is you can eat out less than you would spend at home so no kitchen needed

    it's inhumane and I am against it. I hope we never get to that stage in Australia and yes, we do have to accept that perhaps a backyard may be difficult to achieve but at least we have some space to move around in and call it a home.

    This also tells me that if we are not careful this may happen and in a way it is because many of the apartments in the city are dangerously overcrowded with illegal modifications made to house more people.

    That's why rooming house legislation exists, and the new rules around more than four unrelated tenants...

    Population control is the ONLY long term solution.

    Yep. Send a few hundred thousand Asian students to Brisbane and Melbourne to take up the glut of our apartment oversupply. Win-win.

    Yes but Hk is the most visited city in the world in human history, with 25 million non Chinese visitors per year (note Australia has 8), and an extra 50 million Chinese visitors.

    It also has a 500,000 housing shortage.

    Note it is 10% the land size of Melbourne.

    So not comparable.

    We are moving towards and is recommended that we do move toward eating insects in an effort to put less of a strain on resources....... seriously

    I think it's a fantastic idea

    What do you do if your coffin home is haunted?

    "I want my money back. There's a ghost in my house and I can't get more than 5cm away from it".

    Preferable than a second hand coffin. Can't depreciate all the regret, hopes and broken dreams that comes packaged within those walls.

    Great. What happens if I see a head do a 360 without the body moving? Jump in my car and start doing donuts?
