    Why Australia Post's cashless move has seniors up in arms

    Let's hope those areas have a few regular outages then they won't be able to do any business and will realise the futility of their decision of no cash. Also the pensioners and people with disabilities in these areas can't necessarily just go to the next post office in their area who offer cash...

    113 workers thought it was just another shift…then THIS retail giant collapsed

    And unfortunately I am sure there will be many more yet to close. Rents are too high and there are too many stores not able to sell enough to make a profit in this cost of living crisis. It's going to get alot worse I fear unfortunately.

    ALDI's delivery revolution arrives: Your budget groceries now come to your door

    Groceries are only cheaper in my opinion if you can go and get them yourself. I know everyone can't do that I am just thankful that I can and hope it continues for a long, long time. I am not interested in getting anyone else to get my groceries unless it is my daughter or friend because I am...

    Trust betrayed: Aged care worker's alleged $30,000 shopping spree exposes Australia's growing elder abuse crisis

    I have certainly told my daughter I don't want to go into aged care. And given what some family members do to others and then paid carers, you wonder how some people sleep at night but obviously they don't have a conscience at all. Some people are a disgrace.

    'I was SO devastated': Why shoppers are upset with Target's Christmas range

    I thought the remaining Target stores were still Target stores and not k mart stock so that shows how long it has been since I have been in one. I have always preferred Target out of the two but very rarely shop in them these days. Used to shop in Target alot when my daughters were younger and...

    Campbelltown's $1,000 pool pass fury: When 'free' becomes very expensive

    And people in the area won't want to travel further as thst costs fuel, in a cost of living crisis for a lot of people every dollar and cent counts. That's an exhorbitant jump from free and if I lived in the council area I would not be impressed. You need to make sure you csn deliver on your...

    But at the same time they have to come up with some better cheaper options than the double brick and tile so the housing crisis can be addressed as st the moment they are all burying their heads in the sand.

    The dangerous new beauty trend putting your family at risk

    I am a melanoma sufferer having had several cut out now and not allowed any syn on my body. It is total cover up for me or 50 plus protection on year round to prevent future melanomas. I have been told any sun exposure is accumulative to helping get another one so I am extremely careful now and...

    The $5 billion airport gamble: Why airlines are giving the cold shoulder to Australia's newest aviation hub

    Sounds like total lack of planning and forethought to me. Transport links should have been ready to roll as soon as the airport was ready to open and anything less is just asking for trouble. You do have to wonder about the morons making these decisions after the millions or billions being spent.

    This airlines’ 'dodgy' baggage scales spark outrage: What every Australian traveller needs to know

    That's a disgraceful practice and together with all the other problems associated with Jetstar just another reason why I would never fly with them. And don't forget they are part of Qantas anyway and I don't like their practices either so have no want to ever fly with them ever again. I think...
