    I bought something off eBay & my heart sank when tracking arrived and of course with Aramax.

    Parcel theft epidemic: Australia Post urges vigilance amid growing concerns

    Yes I have problems with Aramax. I even rang their alleged local office to inquire why only one part of my parcel was delivered. The delivery guy just shrugged his shoulders & walked off, so contacted the office & am still waiting to hear back. This was mid last year. The 2nd parcel was...

    State’s new driver licence update leaves more states behind

    I’m looking forward to Tasmania having digital driver’s licenses. It will be so much more convenient as I often run friends a short distance home & would love to just pick up my phone, keys and go. I know that AI has downsides but there are benefits especially in the medical field.

    Parcel theft epidemic: Australia Post urges vigilance amid growing concerns

    Fortunately I haven’t experienced any problems, yet! My Aus Post lady was concerned recently because she thought people were following her & watching where she delivered parcels to. She is really great & if I’m not home & the package is large it gets dropped off at the PO. We collect up the...

    Fly high for less: Scoot's May sale takes off with unbeatable deals!

    I wasn’t aware that Scoot even operated in Australia. They haven’t reached Launceston yet. (Probably never)

    King Charles’ portrait reigns over social media for a ‘creepy’ reason

    I was surprised by the reddish background. What could have been a rather interesting portrait has totally disappeared into a rather ghastly red mess. Disappointing!

    Debate rages over access to free sport: Aussies face potential restrictions on major events

    I think popular sports such as AFL, cricket & rugby should be available on free to air for whoever wants to watch it. I’m not a great AFL but my son, brother & husband are so I read while they all enjoy whatever is on. My son has decided that I can support the same AFL team as him so I have...

    Double whammy: Loss of pensioner’s wallet leads to $20,000 in unwarranted fines

    I’m wondering why this gentleman didn’t seek advice earlier and why would you start a payment plan for fines that you know that you didn’t accumulate? Surely if he doesn’t have family a neighbour or local business owner would have advised him. I don’t understand why he didn’t seek help before...

    Maybe but we’re in Australia, not overseas.

    Stinky situation: Neighbourhood on high alert as ‘poo-petrator’ strikes again

    What is wrong with people? This is beyond disgusting.

    Sydney mum's viral rant exposes the city’s social ‘nightmare’

    Don’t totally agree. While phones are annoying, though I find mine very convenient, not everyone is firmly attached to them. I’m also almost 72 & can remember young ones everywhere with those loud portable stereos on their shoulders inflicting terrible sounding music on us. Im still optimistic...

    Hope that you’re okay marni, if not get well soon.

    Sydney mum's viral rant exposes the city’s social ‘nightmare’

    I no longer move aside either so you’re not on your own. It is so annoying especially when the person is a similar age to me. I like to be aware of what’s happening around me not what’s going on with my mobile.

    New

    Hello Gideon. I love the bakery in Pinjarra, I’ve only visited once but the food was wonderful. My son was there a couple of weekends ago. Unfortunately it’s bit far from Launceston but we visit Perth every year to catch up with our son.

    ‘No care factor’: Aussie shopping centre’s parking slots draw critique from shoppers

    I’ve noticed that at most of the supermarkets near me have their disabled spots placed so that you reverse out into a thoroughfare with cars racing by. It seems to be very unfair on those with a disability. I don’t think that whoever plans these places ever consider the problems that a lot of...

    ‘Queen of the Bonkbuster’ Shirley Conran passes away at 91

    I’ve heard of this author but haven’t read any of her books. I’m sure her family & friends will miss her dearly.

    Australian credit card debt hits $17.66 billion: Experts warn ‘it could get worse’

    So many people get trapped into buying everything on credit and there are consequences. I grew up before the advent of credit cards so was used to saving for things. I still only buy what I can afford to pay for and this is how our son was raised. I was being pressured by a salesman one day...

    Get your piece of rock history with AC/DC's Bon Scott on this new must-have coin!

    Maybe because it was done at the Perth mint & he’s a boy from down the road, but who would know.

    Neighbour's note about her baby leaves new mum ‘in tears’, sparking community debate

    I often hear my neighbours children crying, I can even work out which one it is but if it went on for too long I’d wander over to see if I could help out. I’ve never been bothered by it, babies cry a bit, put up with it or offer to help.
