    Are Gen Z Aussies onto something? How bold cash move led to a $97 fine

    That doesn't make it right and if people don't stand up for principles everyone continues to get walked all over. Who knows what will be next. It may have cost him more money but it may be rallying more support at the uni all the same. He won't be the only one in that position. And it is not...

    ‘This cart gave me my independence back’: How one small change in Coles helps wheelchair users shop alone

    Yes I also have seen them here in Perth and Woolworths have them as well. It is a wonder staff do not approach people in wheelchairs and just advise them of the trolleys available for them if they were interested to try them. There could be many out there shopping with difficulty when they don't...

    Is 19 too young for a child-free wedding? One bride thought so—here's why

    It usually applies to outside the family of the bride and groom but in this case the bride is being very rude in my opinion especially to then expect a present. She would not be getting one from me. There is a lot more to this story but if you can't be an adult and have all your family at your...

    Airline leaves two blind women behind and offers $150 as disability fines climb to $50 million

    Gives us a baseline of what not to do and what not to accept as a starting point. Apart from the fact they should not have left two passengers behind to start with, fancy flying a plane with only two on board. Only in America,

    Bullsbrook residents' row with Defence Department continues over PFAS 'forever' chemicals

    Gosh if there was a government minister living in the area this would have been fixed years ago. Come on Defence this is just not good enough. Pull a finger and just get on with it and do what needs doing. You are an absolute disgrace.

    ALDI shoppers are baffled by this surprising checkout move—Are you missing this new rule?

    Well I have never had that problem, when I consider one bag full it goes in my trolley and out comes my next bag if I am buying more than fits in one bag. Rarely use self check out at Aldi as the store I go doesn't have one.

    Are Gen Z Aussies onto something? How bold cash move led to a $97 fine

    But if I have got it right it is making them pay in advance for their parking, that does not sound fair. Uni students don't have much money, they are pay as you go as you earn students so what are the universities doing allowing this sort of monopoly on their grounds. Totally wrong on principle.

    Find Out Which Side Won After a Major Showdown Over This Cafe’s Dinner Plans—Will It Change Your Neighborhood Too?

    I bet all the locals will soon try the dinner menu as it will be very convenient and closing at 9pm and wrapping by 10pm is a good compromise.

    Pay at the pump or pay per kilometre—what’s the better deal?

    The whole point though is they are not using all the money raised from these fuel excise levys for the intended purpose so when they increase or change it to cover more vehicles wherw is the money going. Who is going to make sure it goes where it is meant to as that is apparently not happening...

    Pay at the pump or pay per kilometre—what’s the better deal?

    Notice the word "likely" replace fuel excise rather than be added on top. I bet there will be a crossover before they get their act together which will rake in millions if not billions and already the money they raise from the fuel excise is not all going where it is actually meant to be yet...
