8 home makeover shortcuts

The problem
Your hallway’s not much wider than a mineshaft

The fix
“Put up a whacking great mirror on one side to create the illusion of space,” says Alan Gorrie, of Mr Smith’s Interiors in Sydney. But be careful with placement, he warns. Remember, whatever the glass faces, you’ll suddenly have two of them. If that happens to be a cool piece of artwork, great. If it’s your dunny door, try again. If eyesores aren’t an issue, consider a frameless, floor-to-ceiling mirror that runs the length of the hall. Warning: resist any sudden urge to swing a cat.

your right hugh the Gay labor party is pushing this issue forward, they won't approve it YET, but they are making sure it stays out there so the people will eventually accept it. I'm with you I couldn't care less if they marry each other. just get them out of power. On the upside Labor party fundraising functions are sure to get more interesting in the near future. I can just see it now Drag shows and leather loin cloths will be the call of the day. Instead of Black tie events, it'll be Black butless chaps as standard garb for labor party functions.

So this is all we can comment on huh? People can marry GOATS for all I care. Too much political time is being taken up on this issue. Put it to a referendum and get it over with. There are more pressing issues to deal with like education, hospitals homelessness, and so on. Just because Penny (nehow) Wong is Gay dosn't make it a political issue.
