    Mum's shocking photo of ALDI mince will make you think twice before buying

    'When in doubt, DON'T throw it out,' if you are sure it is 'sus', TAKE IT BACK. The store won't know about bad products unless you show them. They can then check their suppliers, you get your money back, or a freebie. Don't just accept this type of behaviour, stand up and complain. Since Covid...

    THE KID IS AHEAD

    Far too bright to be a Prime Minister, he should be a major Bank CEO, where all the clever decisions are made, or head of the Weather forecasters, who always get it right....lol

    Teen’s knife incident sparks urgent call for public safety measures in shopping centres

    We have Governments that are lazy, have forgotten their role, inept to making positive policy to benefit society and the people they are there to represent. We cater to minority groups to the detriment of the majority. The Legal system is breaking down due to the attitudes of the people who...

    The Samurai

    The Samurai What a great show, came on at 4.30pm, raced home from school, completed my homework so I could watch the show. The fantastic jumps and stunts those Ninjas' performed were great to watch. The popularity of the show saw Shintaro come to Australia and there were large crowds of kids...

    Viagra

    When growing up one of my favourite biscuits were the Arnotts ginger nut, when the company was still Australian. They were as hard as a brick and the best way of eating them was to lay them on top of a glass of milk, they would float and as the milk was absorbed they would sink a little deeper...

    Whispers in the aisles: Alleged employee turmoil at Woolworths

    The only thing that has come out of 'inquiry into Woolies/Coles' so far is the stupid and incompetent ministers asking the questions. That Greens Senator is a prime example of a person who is out of his depth when he tries to ask a question that he doesn't even understand or can explain. No...

    Protect your wallet: How Aussies are being fleeced by ‘unscrupulous’ taxi drivers

    Nothing has changed..back in the 80"s my partner and I arrested and charged 21 taxi drivers out of the one depot who defrauded the public purse after Wran introduced the 'Handicapped Taxi Voucher Scheme'.

    I think 'Observer' should go to Specsavers as well, didn't anyone spot that the Doctor was a female however, being an 'inclusive type of guy' the Dr. may have been a cross dresser. lol

    ‘Recidivist sex offender’ set for release this year

    Having been involved in this matter, I am not 'shocked' by his release.. As you can see all of the Legal and Mental advisors have expressed their views however, the Parole Board, who are a group of 'faceless people' can do whatever they want and are never held accountable for their decisions. I...

    Is your wallet about to become obsolete? Discover when Australia plans to go completely cashless

    The Banks want it as it will improve their 'bottom line', no staff to pay, none of the following ie: Super contributions, no holiday payments, no sick leave, maternity leave, and so on, one rise in card usage hits all the cards across the lot, this is then passed down the line to the 'cash cow'...

    Another example of 'Political correctness', infiltrating society and being in a position where they can change something whenever they like. As Ted Bullpit use to say, 'Someone should blow them all up.'

    Disturbing trend at major banks greatly affects many Australians

    Sorry 'bid13' , under the monetary and coinage act cash can be declined by any business, cash is legal tender however, the Act allows businesses the right to decline acceptance... I remember years ago a person would pay the Harbour Bridge toll with 1 and 2 cent pieces, he was proving a point, he...

    Disturbing trend at major banks greatly affects many Australians

    I think some of the comments posted by Greg 350 are a bit dubious... my mate had money scammed through electronic cards when he made a purchase overseas... the bank constantly fobbed him off with a lot of double talk one of which was: 'You must have given out your password details to someone'...
