It's not unusual to find decent discounts on expensive tech gear. In fact, we'd say you're a bit of a chump if you buy anything at its retail price in Australia.

Although they're not quite as inventive as Air New Zealand, Qantas makes some beautiful inflight safety videos. Its latest one is the best yet, and does a very good job of keeping your interest and showing you exactly what to do in the case of an emergency, without actually showing a plane at all.

Here's how one character addresses another's worries about potential danger on occult action-comedy Crazyhead: "I was born careful. I popped out my mum's cooch like, 'Safety first.'"
