    Your grocery shop is about to change—here’s why shoppers are concerned

    Whatever we complain about will not really affect large food corporations such as Coles and Woolworths, even Aldi, as we all have to buy food and, in the end, are stuck with what they tell us (ads) what we need as well..

    State braces for a 'significant disaster event' hitting their shores

    It brings back to mind a long time ago, when two people in first time camping in a borrowed, much-used nylon two-man tent with no fly, two suitcases of books, one of mainly packs of dried food and seeds and a portable typewriter, plus two cranky human bodies ( us) hanging on to all we could in...

    This crucial service is at risk—ensure it continues helping those in need

    What is this Government doing? Cancelling so many essential services and scratching the barrel to get more dollars. Why not start Taxing a percentage of the income of religious 'businesses' but not proven Charities if proven genuine? The others earn millions for free and know they can avoid tax...

    Aussie content creator exposes this restaurant for their 'diabolical' customer service

    Also, I am not a fan of quick food deliveries, so many complain ( or just accept) about the quality or other. I cook or eat something simple, even if it is simple and quick..oh, and cheaper!

    Aussie content creator exposes this restaurant for their 'diabolical' customer service

    That came to my mind too, all named fast food outlets have false advertising with their photos no idea why they display them and then give a different product!!

    Man’s $40,000 mistake with ancient trees sends urgent warning you didn’t expect

    Same here in some severe garden clearing next door. We consider all newcomers who want to live here should be educated to respect our Australian environment as well as basic customs and lifestyle, not just continue to live as if they were in their home country. Many left violent and crowded...

    Man’s $40,000 mistake with ancient trees sends urgent warning you didn’t expect

    One who was not informed of our ecology and the need for mangroves was only interested in his views and purposes. Hope the land is also not developed ( on mangrove 'soils'?) in any way since. It will never recover in our time.

    'Traumatising': Couple shares chilling experience after their seatmate passed away mid-flight

    I consider the staff who were unable to move the poor woman to someplace less obvious, not being able to fit carrying her down the aisle. This is no job for two untrained women anyhow, and I am sure they would have had some instructions on what to do with potential deaths on flights in their...

    Residents outraged: Could your neighbourhood be next in disturbing 'maggot invasion'?

    It is always the heat of summer when the bins need to have a more regular pick up as the smells and rotting food can be toxic to many. So many are not always packed properly and the overflow is gross.

    Residents outraged: Could your neighbourhood be next in disturbing 'maggot invasion'?

    That was my response too, maggots are clean and feeding on the rotten refuse to eliminate the 'food' and smell. They are still used in many situations for cleaning out deep wounds, as in war injuries and other needy times. A godsend to help prevent gangrene and other infected wounds. That gives...

    Tragic twist of fate turns grandfather's dream into a nightmare: 'He would have been so scared'

    The thief should be charged with manslaughter for the death of this poor great-grandad dying of shock and fear whilst being robbed. No leniency, except that our penal legal system is as weak in strength and decent penalties as water is to whisky.

    Say goodbye to GP appointments: See how pharmacies are changing healthcare consultations

    I believe most pharmacists can diagnose a lot of common conditions and should be able to supply medications. I have had some more accurate advice from a pharmacist for one condition!!!
