Australia's workplace ministers have agreed to implement a national ban on engineered stone, over concerns its use has led to a surge in silicosis cases among workers.

    No it isn’t.

    How about real stone? That’s pretty analogous to fake stone. Wood isn’t even pretending.

        Funnily enough, we ended up with a very pretty real granite in our kitchen last year because it was 25% cheaper than the engineered options we found.
