    ‘We’ve been blown away’: The supermarket moment that had Aussies lining up

    Wonderful to add to diversity in our kitchens. My question is "are the ingredients Australian"?

    Woman doused friend in fuel, set him alight for misogynistic comment, court hears

    What a detestable human being. That poor bloke is looking at a really sh*tty future. Nobody I've ever encountered would even think of doing something so deplorable, sober, drunk or off their head on any substance. The act speaks clearly of a rotten person apart from whatever she claims as...

    Powering Up or Paying Up? The Reality Behind the Battery Rebate— by Noel Whittaker

    Not much of this 'general information' is accurate over a large area of the country. It doesn't take into account the power you can put back into the grid, the different types of solar panels available, and the variations in climate. We've installed solar panels (a lot) with individual...

    This tech giant founder wants to give his fortune away! Will you receive some of his fortune soon?

    My 'soap-box' has always been 'people like Elon Musk could end world hunger, improving their own image at the same time, but they would rather contribute to space junk and schemes to get richer'. Only the mega-rich could get away with calling a rescuer a 'pedo'. If Bill Gates is sincere...

    Insider shares new claims about Royal Family members' cancer bout

    My interest in the royals passed with the late queen. Sorry for their health problems, just like everyone else suffering. Beyond that, no particular interest any more.

    Insider shares new claims about Royal Family members' cancer bout

    So true. I'm convinced that now QE11 is no more, it's a perfect time to reconsider becoming a Republic.

    Australia Post reveals massive update for deliveries nationwide! Here's what we know so far

    I've always had this service, it's not new. I don't know if our delivery couple just go 'above and beyond' but the app has a see where we left it feature and if it required a signature I know an honest attempt was made. A cheap doorbell camera can cover from the customer's side. I find treating...

    Lots of lovely little cafès too.

    New camera trial aims to catch drivers in the act–are you breaking this rule?

    Oonly if everyone is treated equally. I witnessed cops in my local area tailgating a young red P plate driver, presumably trying to frighten the poor kid into making a mistake. I followed until the young driver turned into a driveway and the cop sped off. I consider this a pretty low act from...

    I'm not a coffee drinker, so before any of the good stuff, I have to put my head under the tap. Read 'shower', preferably cold, to get functional. After that it depends on who's need is greatest, family breakfast or food and play for my puppy.

    Aussie actress stuns fans with a jaw-dropping dance in minimal clothing

    Sorry guys, this may seem a bit 'out there' but if Australia needs a queen from our 'Arts community' then my pick would be Celeste Barber. Not only is she hilariously funny but she's also a good person and a very 'real' one. I have no trouble remembering the effort she put into fund-raising...

    'Honestly very gross': Homeowner spots intruder in her home multiple times!

    Or just put the toaster on an extension lead and toss it in with him.

    Password and personal entries.

    Bugger the 'what about big brother' crowd or 'the government is collecting our data', wherever possible I use a fingerprint or facial recognition. There ain't 2 people with my ugly mug anywhere!

    Authorities fine this real estate agent after being involved in 'deceptive acts'. What did she do?

    I'm an old girl and haven't rented in decades. That being said, I did have a horror real estate agent when renting my very first flat. The b*stard would let himself in whenever he wanted, claiming an 'inspection'. You can guess what he was inspecting. Very short tenancy there. Obviously it...

    This toy has Aussies lining up before dawn—find out why it’s worth up to $3,000!

    Idiots with more money than sense. Imagine when/if the day comes, the bottom drops out of their world, and they have cause, as many smokers and drinkers have, to look back on the money they have wasted.
