Overall, building size and cultural preferences, including bedroom and bathroom sizes, drive material use. We also found a strong signal that security concerns (e.g. fears of war, terrorism) drive up material use.

In crashes, high-fronted cars typically strike adult pedestrians above the centre of gravity, often first hitting vital organs.

The higher the vehicle front the more likely a person will be knocked under the car, rather than pushed to the side, at speeds of up to 50 km/h.

I think our politicians need our support to try things. They most often hear from status quo voices. Tell them what you want. Be enthusiastic and warm. Celebrate the things you like.

I’d add being able to get to a big natural space by transit. Eg Royal National Park in Sydney.
