    The great dunny debate: Why more Aussie blokes are taking a seat (and why that might be smart)

    A topic like this always brings out the ignorant bigots

    Most males cannot aim and are lousy shots. Much cleaner if they sit

    Stop wasting time at Woolies! Discover the secret tip shoppers wish they knew sooner

    What app? Woolworths want you to use one app for rewards, another for bws, and another for shopping. They have 3 or 4 apps in the store. I also find products move or layout variations in different stores.

    These jobs will thrive – but others may vanish

    It has been difficult for years to contact anyone in a large organisation, as the automated system cannot handle any complex queries and never transfers a caller to a person. Now it will be impossible.

    The government has asked for bold proposals. Maybe it’s time to consider taxing the family home

    This article is very badly written. Too many unexplained terms, what is income from owner occupied housing? What is meant by including housing value in the pension test if you have nowhere else to live? Unrealised capital gains, how can you pay them if you have not sold the asset? For...

    Why scrapping negative gearing won’t fix the housing crisis— by Noel Whittaker

    Self interest always beats fact, ask Morrison or Trump. Never let facts get in your way. A simple check of statistics will show how much fiction in this article. ATO figure also do not support his claims.

    Owning a home used to be a milestone…now it’s a miracle—here’s why

    There is NO sales tax on your residential home. There is stamp duty on the purchase, which the buyer pays. If it is an investment property, capital gain tax (with concessions) is payable, but no sales tax. You do not loose your pension on sale, provided you buy a new home I think within 12...

    Owning a home used to be a milestone…now it’s a miracle—here’s why

    No other country allows the tax concessions Australia gives on investment housing. That alone should indicate it needs changing. Wait for the outrage of the small group benefiting from these tax breaks

    Should my daughter pay for breaking something that’s already being replaced?

    You are not being unreasonable. Going into in some one else's room and sesrching and taking their belongings is enough to warrant consequences. Unless there is some other suitable consequence, she should pay for the damaged item.

    Could this wedding guest's shocking outfit choice ruin the bride's big day?

    How about something original. A variation of this well worn story has benn circulating on other social media platforms for months, usually with the mother in law the villain.

    You could be making this mistake on the road—Why did a horse rider confront a driver?

    I think they all require care, horses, livestock, kangaroos, kids bicycles etc. The article also mentions country road, and the poster I was referring to said he drives along country and back roads which are presumably quieter yet was still complaining aggressively. Also, it is legal to take a...
