Sydney Tower Skywalk suicide: Man leaps to death

Oh. That’s awful. Suicide in itself is a tragedy. But doing this in such a manner to traumatise so many people. But I guess that isn’t in their head space.

My first thought was about the people below but then I remembered/read they have a canopy.

I guess there will be new harness security installed - terrible for the other tourists and the staff. Some staff may not recover from this

I was just invited to a presentation for 120 voters in the SA election in just over a week. All hopeful leaders (Weatherill, Marshall and MrX) will be present. We can listen but ask questions. I have my MrX question all lined up. I know he will not answer it as it will most likely change the election result if he did

Sadly there have been too many 'one punch' killings where this pathetic excuse has been offered.

Lenient sentences are the issue there. Unless it was self defence there's no excuse good enough.

Wonder if WP & SG can still use the curbside entry? Thats IF you can drop off your bags (which is what we do, to avoid the crowd).

So it has been raining heavily here on the Sunshine Coast - cats and dogs type rain - over the past 10 days - so this morning I bought a rain gauge at Bunnings. Now watch it turn to sunny dry weather

Likewise in the northern suburbs of BNE. What is the blue stuff in the sky and the round flaming ball of gas???

My office roof has developed a leak. Need to get it assessed from owner of building whether it's structural (their issue) or mine (as it's coming from nearby to an air-conditioner that we had work done on after I moved in).

Found co-worker on lobby couch complaining of pain radiating down left side, blur vision and irregular heart beat.

Currently waiting for doctor. Thankfully co worker seems better but we wait.

Surely that's an ambulance job regardless of what your co-worker says?

 

[Denali]

Sorry, we're not in office waiting. We at medical centre which is next door who is attending. Not the first time I've walked in with staff and they respond very quickly.

She was being seen to within 4 mins of walking in. We would still be waiting for ambulance otherwise.

 

[Denali]

I remember once we phoned for a ambulance and went down to medical centre for assistance, two doctors came to office to assist while we waited for ambulance.

And my Hubbys physio just walked in as well.
