Glenn reckons the naming and shaming of disabled carpark "abuse", needs to be put into perspective. "Going to Mitre 10 Mega, Lincoln Rd on a Saturday and seeing a stupid amount of disabled car parks (about 12) which were for most of the time all empty. Meanwhile, the able bodied people trawl the carpark looking for an empty space. I will park in them and I am pretty certain more than 11 disabled people won't turn up while I am there. We recently had a reconfiguration of carparks at work and there were four disabled carparks put in, the building manager told us to just park in them as there were no disabled employees and it was for council requirements. The council should be assessing the policy, it's absurd!"

Graphic: After the death of hundreds of workers in the Rana Plaza garment factory in Bangladesh serious safety and pay issues for garment workers in the country are being reported. So how much does it cost to make a denim shirt in Bangladesh compared to the US?
