What cheeses me off

Yes. I suppose HDB flats have limited space for such appliances and eating out is quite cheap, and many used to or still have a maid. But its becoming more common. - some are single drawer and countertop form factors

Now,
Whats with the Australian hand dishwashing technique where after washing the plates, they are not rinsed. Instead of rinsing then stacking them to dry???

Not at our place.

Dunno. Never heard of it. A NSW thing?

First world judgements here...
I have seen this but not for a very long time , some places have only one sink and limited or no running water.
Washing up camp dishes is also a challenge for rinsing..

How do you wash plates without rinsing? How do you get the dishwashing soap/liquid off?

One thing that surprised me growing up was, amongst us who handwashed dishes, at home we stacked the dishes on a drying rack (now we use the dishwasher racks) to dry before putting them away, but Australian families tended to dry them immediately (using a cloth) and then put them away.

WCMO is a workplace sink full of dirty dishes and cups. I suppose I should be more specific in that the last time this was a thing was when I was working in a uni institute, and the culprits would normally be grad students, but the latter are adults too - I mean, come on, how difficult is it to quickly wash up your mug, or at worst, just put it in the dishwasher (provided the latter was in "dirty" mode)?

W also CMO are the dummies who think the cleaners' job is doing the dishes. Yeah, no.

Funny enough, when I went to year 5 camp a long time ago, one of the duties of selected camp groups was helping in the kitchen after meals to clean and dry dishes. We used one of those industrial dishwashers that you load then pull down the cover, which then pretty much hot washes the dishes lickety-split. I guess now you can't have kids in a commercial kitchen without a mountain of paperwork, let alone washing dishes.

Never ever done this.
Have been to houses and offered a smeary glass of water that tastes like soap
Bit like washing your clothes without rinsing
