...the static discharge from a cat in a polyester pillow case could ignight the gas and kill hundreds.
What if the cat is the one “leaking” the gas? We recently adopted a kitten. When he relaxes and is purring...all I can say is...DAMN!

Covered, I didn’t want to mention that. “Taxi to airport now this gold” is a universal language, baby.

In ‘Strine (or British English, for that matter) a torch is a flashlight. (In full, ‘an electric torch’).

torch = flashlight As I've traveled extensively, I knew immediately what they were referring to. That said, it's much more fun to think they are preparing for that inevitable, immediate need to chase down a monster or to run a mad scientist out of town. Odd, the lack of pitchforks on the list.

Anyone with anything other or suggestions? LED flashlight with a crank generator. I keep one in my car at all times because I have a bad tendency to only use regular flashlights to store dead batteries.

It’s Australia. Maybe they are planning on fighting off the hordes of invading refugees from New Zealand?
To: blam
The easy-going residents of Australia's biggest city are being urged
to carry personal "survival bags"
Well, duh!!!
That's generally the advice amongst folks in the Los Angeles basin
area with an IQ above room temperature.
Have a survival kit at home (along with maybe a couple of 12 gauge
pump shotguns and a couple of hundred rounds of "00" buckshot
as well as a couple of .45 ACP pistols (and rounds) and .22 cal
rifles and/or pistols.
And if you have a car...have just about the same in the trunk of
your vehicle.
Along with about $1000 or more of cash on hand.
And if it can be secured...have one at your work-place.
If the sh-t really hits the fan...only the prepared have a
real statistical chance of survival.
Of course, I'm a little paranoid, living about a mile outside
the radius of the "displays of outrage" (RIOTS) that happened after
the Simi Valley verdict.

flood residents should carry their cats in a cotton pillow case.
A plastic bag would be much more efficient and double as groceries.
