<p><p>The situation this article, &quot;Why so many new homes in Australia are defective&quot;, has basically arisen because of one simple fact. No one tells our children, or anyone else, the value of being focused and giving full attention to the task at hand. If full attention were given (no dreaming off, thinking of something else, or listening to music whilst working), mistakes would be much less likely to occur. That&#39;s it in a nutshell.</p></p><p><a href="">Reply to article</a></p><p>For original story, <a href="">Click Here.</a></p>
