In my town (SA though) we had a similar heat wave I'd imagine. We are a small town that has a few old folks homes now to the point where like a third of the town is now over 60.
The local op shop put everything 50% off after "an unprecedented influx of quality items"
No one made the connection.

The state is owned by mining interests. I am not surprised.
