that advice still stands (according to expert on ABC radio yesterday). It creates negative pressure and stops your airtight home from exploding.
However, they warned this can be dangerous because the direction of winds can change.
Most Australian homes aren’t built to the same standards as cold climate European or US ones so it’s less of a problem. My draughty Queenslander has other problems to contend with. 😅
