    The name game: Parents-to-be are already arguing about their baby's identity. Which side are you on?

    Absolutely nothing to do with ANYONE else! That’s what’s wrong with the world today. Everyone sticking their nose into everyone else’s business. All these do gooders who tell us how to bring up your kids, what to eat, how to speak etc etc etc.. The world was much better before these woke...

    Scammers took $66.6 million from seniors—could this 30-minute tip stop them?

    I bought an electric shaver from Temu for $39. It has been brilliant. Better than the $160 one I bought locally 18 months ago.. Fishing gear is something you need to pay reasonable money for. You can but poor quality in K Mart if you wish to buy cheaply..

    Scammers took $66.6 million from seniors—could this 30-minute tip stop them?

    If you get a faulty product give it a one star review and you will get your money credited back in 5 minutes. You are entitled to one “no return” credit on every order you receive. I have done this many times and have even had credits for perfectly good products that came in damaged boxes..

    A $25 billion loss on the ASX—Is your retirement fund affected?

    What do you do next? Don’t panic. Super is a long term investment.. Everything that was lost when Trump became President and imposed taxes on everything, has been recovered. (Personally lost $40,000 in a small super investment, but all is recovered with a small drop again in the past day). If...

    Scammers took $66.6 million from seniors—could this 30-minute tip stop them?

    I wonder, if you only had one account would you have given them your card number? Other than that excellent advise.. Deal directly with the companies and don’t react to emails, texts or unsolicited phone calls.

    Scammers took $66.6 million from seniors—could this 30-minute tip stop them?

    Not harsh at all! When are people going to learn? Regular reports on scams on TV news, everyday in SDC. The Government is placing nightly ads on TV. If you are too stupid to realise (and don’t use age as an excuse) or so greedy you respond to these scams then “too bad, so sad”…

    Doesn’t matter how many times people are told that the banks, telco’s or government bodies don’t put links in their emails or messages (we are warned daily) stupid idiots still fall for these scams. And if you fall for these fake investment scams then you are either greedy or dumber than dumb...

    Spread of death cap mushrooms sparks health warning in NSW

    Once again if people are so stupid as to go out and pick wild mushrooms without any knowledge of which ones are safe, then more fool them.. Why do we need to keep warning people about all these issues? Can‘t people think for themselves anymore? Is there no such thing as common sense anymore?

    Incoming NSW $1,500 rebate: Will it be a critical lifeline as power bills bite?

    Maybe SDC should check their facts. $150 not $1,500 Also 1st July not June! https://www.energy.gov.au/energy-bill-relief-fund

    Left the windows down a smidge? That tiny gap could mean a $3,096 fine

    Maybe if that was the case. But it was dumped there by a resident in the next street who it was “unregistered “ to. 8 weeks later he was arrested on 28 charges of stealing, threatening an abusing the staff of many shops in our local area. A commercial quantity of Cannabis and 13 dogs were...

    Left the windows down a smidge? That tiny gap could mean a $3,096 fine

    We had a van dumped in our street with the keys left in it.. When the police came they said it is not illegal to park in another street. Also no offence had been committed by leaving the keys in the ignition. Go figure.. lazy bloody policemen…
