    Trust your instincts: Why this woman's 'dodgy tradie' encounter should worry every Australian homeowner

    WOW - a big red flag staring one in the face asking for the house keys. In the first place why did he need them, was he going to leave his tools there overnight? He could have taken everything back home by the same means he got them there in the first place. Glad she saw through this scum-bag.

    Authorities launch probe after childcare centre mix-up alarms parents

    Was this child a very young baby or a toddler? I certainly would have recognised my 3 grandchildren (who hubby & I used to pick up regularly from kindy). Perhaps this person needs to be investigated (medically) to see if there is anything wrong before being allowed to pick up the grandchild...

    Remember when Macca’s bags only carried burgers? Not anymore…

    We don’t know if it was without permission. Maccas may have asked them to develop a bag to promote their products. If it was without permission then for every bag sold, wait and watch, there will be Trademark infringement by Maccas.

    Centrelink payments raise questions after long-term welfare revelation

    I’m pretty sure one can report to CentreLink anonymously. And I’m sorry you were in the ‘firing line’ of the threat from the solicitor. Sometimes it does pay to report (anonymously) over and over and over again to keep solicitors from threatening you. You can also write in to that Jorgens guy...

    Remember when Macca’s bags only carried burgers? Not anymore…

    Not in cash OR lifetime burgers, either. TACKY is absolutely an understatement.

    Should Kmart even be selling these items? The surprising legal truth behind the $10 controversy

    Get real KMart. This is dangerous. My grandson (18) bought his first car for $6000 cash (in the presence of his father). Obviously father did not do necessary checks as 2 years down the track he was followed into his driveway by (??) police in an unmarked car & his first car was confiscated...

    Do these ‘trendy’ youngsters also eat all their meals at Macca’s? What a load of cods wallop! Couldn’t think of anything more stupid.

    The audacity! A bridesmaid wants to wear this at the wedding

    Got married in 1967 at age 20 & been married to the same loving, gentle & never argumentative man ever since. My elder sister (by 3 years) & I married in a double ceremony. We each had one bridesmaid and bestman of our choices plus our 3 younger sisters were bridesmaids. Mum made all the dresses...

    One neighbour’s complaint just cost this Aussie $80 a month—could it happen on your street too?

    Yes, should have left it completely within their own property boundary. Court will cost a hell of a lot more than the fine. The councils definitely own ALL of the footpath, even the home owner is required to keep it tidy and, really, is that so hard to do when one mows their own yard.

    Are you at risk of a $400 fine? Aussie driver's shocking story sparks outrage at new police crackdown

    My comments are not aimed at you Jerry5 so please don’t take any offence. The so-called “pigs” are the first ones we will call on to save us in the event of a crisis, a break-in, an assault etc, etc, etc.!! Step into their shoes for even half a day on the beat or attending assaults or a...

    Are you paying too much for breakfast? Outrage erupts over shocking cafe prices!

    And a big, big stomach to eat all that! It looks enough for two, and I think there could be a lunch at home as well after that. Each to his own, though.

    WHY is irrelevant. Sometimes, articles like this one are given to us (read or don’t read - your choice) and SDC brings them to our notice in the event something like this may/could very well also happen here and affect us.
