It's what happens when people are neglected by the authorities ( the flaming gov) and FALL through the cracks, as so many Australians do, especially the elderly, disabled, first nations etc.

It's a bloody stupid idea. Every council should deal witb their own problems. This is Australia FFS. .aybe they could introduce a "help your neighbour" program to get late bins off the street. In my steet with have a lady with disabilities and her bins often stay out until her home help comes, 4...

And where do the homeless and those living in overcrowded accommodation drink? Maybe just once in a while they wish to escape their reality for a few hours. Maybe money should be spent on the root causes rather than punishment.

I thought it was just common sense to hang up your bath mat when you finished with it. At my age and fragile bone structure, I would have a greater problem with the hanger being on the floor at all.

I love your phrasiology. I also sympathise. Depression, from whatever the cause, is not something you can just 'suck up'. Amazing how many people remain ignorant about mental health issues.

I have read about this missing kid, but it was weeks ago, not Sunday. Does anyone know if he has been found?

And their never ending 'pensions'!

Wouldn't the fact that pigs don't have the same life expectancy as humans mean multiple transplants over a persons lifetime? Each one with increasing risk? If the Chinese can clone a child, which they have done, surely science could be doing something similar with organs. Going on the numbers...

I have been the victim of a very serious act of violence, which I won't go into here. The greatest thing to come out of it was the immediate, and ongoing relief that my children were not involved, even though they were affected by the impact on their mother. I can't even begin to imagine what...

I find that most manual drivers are the ones who teach their kids to also drive a manual. My first driving lesson was in a '3 on the tree' 45 model Ford Prefect. These days I drive either my large auto or hubby's smaller one which is terrific, 9 gears and paddles for gear changes when necessary...

Road user tax shouldn't be tied to fuel consumption these days. Do electric vehicles not have tyres? Do they not contribute to wear and tear on the roads? Electric vehicles may be the go these days but they are not yet Auustralia proof. Even getting good old 98 is impossible in some of the towns...

Isn't Dyson just the best? Certainly out performs the cheap one I initially bought.

The only comment I disagree with is the one about the Vegemite. Fortunately Vegemite comes with a grooved lid and isn't suction sealed like jam jars. Everything else is workable with creative (and sometimes expensive) solutions. The light stick vacuum is a wonder, it saves using the heavy one as...

It should be listed with honey, as something that will never 'go off'!

Quite literally in some cases.
