    From $1.75 million to $5,000: One Aussie’s surprising solution to the housing crisis

    Plenty of inexpensive houses available in FLAT PAK! Look on AliBaba for Container houses, Folding house, Pre-fab house. They ship to Australia, from China. Takes 6-8 men to unpack and literally FOLD-OUT the walls and wings. Now around $50,000 for a fairly simple design flat pak house, but you...

    Aussie dad stunned by $8,000 bill after routine council call spirals out of control

    This bloke needs to tie a rope around the tree trunk and to a string static point away from his house in the other, clearer direction. Then if the tree falls during a storm, it will fall not on his house but it the direction of the static point. Simple. But then, I’m only a female who thinks...

    'I'm home' note that Australia Post completely ignored—and why it happens more than you think

    Bcz they are dead lazy bastards who cannot be bothered to do their jobs which are TOO HIGHLY PAID! And it gives them a better chance to steal your goods by claiming they took it back bcz of no delivery, but it “goes missing”.

    Why cash is making a surprising comeback in Australia—and your bank's chairman agrees

    Banks will never ‘be perfect’ bcz they are run by humans. Humans will always respond enthusiastically to greed, theft, lies, and laziness. The “big bosses” will always be paid outrageously high and thoroughly unwarranted salaries loaded with bonuses for work NOT done by them, but done by...

    Fake doctors target Australian seniors online: Here's how to protect yourself from sophisticated health scams

    Until politicians are stung by these diabolically dangerous claims, we are basically stuffed! False Advertising used to carry great penalties. But over the last 13-14 yrs. that seems to hv been tossed aside. Now advertisers can lie all day about their crap products and nothing happens to them...

    The advertising revolution that's dividing Australian shoppers: Why AI-generated ads are here to stay

    Drives me crackers!! Every day, several times each day, the horrendous spelling errors in simple news reports is staggering. They do not even know the difference between ‘there’ and ‘their’! We also have the appalling mispronunciation of everyday words from alleged reporters pushing the barrow...

    Missing treats stir unexpected curiosity among shoppers

    Was absolutely DISGUSTED when discovered that Cole’s’ Pink donuts have ZERO strawberry flavour at all! Why did they do that? If not strawberry flavoured, they have no right to be pink, just plain white! It makes no sense and is always so damned disappointing - another Coles ripoff

    When live TV goes wrong: News hosts caught chatting about holidays while on air

    Agreed! It’s funny that so many never bother thinking of our vast distances. I know Cairns, hv been there, like it. But never had the ‘distance’ thought in relation to Melbn. It’s a bit surprising to actually hear it and realise, “Oh yes, he’s right”. I’ve just never thought abt it like that...

    When trust breaks down: Growing threat to parcels and what you can actually do about it

    I have had over $2000 of goods “vanish” via Australia Post over 18 months. I reported the long list of stolen-missing good to the ombudsman’s office. Goods ranged from cufflinks mailed in Sydney, to CDs, DVD, and money $500 cash that was stupidly posted at my own post office counter and...
