    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...

    Fewer councillors, more money? Why this local government wants to slash 60 councillors

    Far too many “councillors”! Like pigs to the trough. Reduce their numbers AND their enormous payments! Being a councillor is a massive ripoff now. Councillors used to be paid NOTHING! They did it for the good of the community. It should return to that requirement without dangling ratepayers...

    Four million Aussies could be renting until they die—will you be one of them?

    I agree, to a certain extent. Early use of Superannuation to be agreed provided the total amount being borrowed to purchase a home is purely and solely for their own residential occupancy, and to be resided in by them for not less than ten years, that should one (or both persons) cease working...

    A new soft plastics scheme is ramping up, but can it solve our recycling problem?

    Even if all that stored soft plastic is just melted into big flat sheets to compact even further would be a massive achievement! Plenty of ppl would buy those flat sheets to use in other projects. 40+ years ago, it was announced that the enormous collections of discarded black rubber vehicle...

    Delivery delays ignite online backlash after social media explodes in popularity

    Australia Post should be called Australia Lost! The delivery persons are more bad than good. Some are very good at their job and we appreciate them. But NOT a large contingent of utterly LAZY, USELESS vermin who pull up at the address, write out a note to put in the letterbox (so they got out...
