    ‘Corrupt, incompetent and treasonous’: Bruce Springsteen’s fierce warning on stage

    Why ANYBODY is stupid enough to praise the opinions of 'celebrities', is beyond me! Imagine if political figures started critiquing their acting, singing, athletic performances. These people are so far removed from the real world, they have little to no credibility with respect to politics and...

    James Bond movie series mainstay passes away at 89

    I loved him in the Bond movies. Only he could get away with calling Bond 'Jimbo'!

    The biggest losers: how Australians became the world’s most enthusiastic gamblers

    Well if Aussies on average gamble $1,635 per year, someone's spending my share.

    Households could spend $80 billion on energy efficiency upgrades, report finds

    I watched Eraring power station being erected back in the seventies. Three neighbours worked there after it was completed. When it closes, we'll be up the creek without a paddle. There is no possible way a region like the Hunter can continue to thrive without the availability of cheap, clean...

    'Keep them away from your dogs': Woman warns pet owners about common home item

    We live in a retirement village and our small backyard has artificial grass. Our almost three year old poodle will eat anything, tissues a specialty, but has never made any attempt to eat the lawn. That does seem strange.

    Tattooed mum calls out Bunnings over 'targeted' behaviour—here’s why she’s fuming

    Ho hum! Tatts are so common these days that I seriously doubt they're looked down on.

    Coles launches time-saving shopping feature as shoppers miss out

    But best of all, it means that Coles doesn't need to waste money on that expensive overhead known as staff! No more rostering headaches, forget about workers' comp, superannuation and all those other staff related problems that eat into their multi million dollar profits! The customers will...

    Labor has promised to tackle homelessness. Here’s what homeless people say they need

    I've said this very thing many times. People: check out Venezuela and Argentina so you can see what Australia will look like in just a few years.

    Glyn Davis to quit as the prime minister’s top public servant

    I give credibility to very few if any public servants. They have far too much power at state and federal level. They're almost all left wing and, I object to having government policy decided by overpaid, unelected public servants. I know I keep saying this, but the country's being run by...

    Shopper boycotts Aussie supermarket giant after 'awkward' encounter in-store

    In what universe is it okay to speak to ANYONE like that, let alone employees simply doing their job?! And then to go online and complain about the staff, shows a gargantuan sense of entitlement. How does someone come to believe this behaviour is appropriate? My first reaction would have been...

    'I’m not going to serve you here': Here’s why Aussies are divided over this restaurant drama

    Sorry, but the article states that they were told twice. It clearly states that when they arrived, they were told that high chairs weren't available, and then again when the child was playing near the doorway, with the plant. It's not incumbent on the restaurant to supply high chairs in case a...

    'I’m not going to serve you here': Here’s why Aussies are divided over this restaurant drama

    Having nursed in Emergency in a large, Sydney teaching hospital, I can't believe the mother's attitude. I've seen so many toddlers and crawling babies admitted with shocking injuries, usually burns, because they wandered into the path of a parent carrying hot food. Why do parents expect...

    Mystery vandal scratches over 30 cars in bizarre crime spree

    I wonder if she was actually targeting someone. What's the best place to hide a match? In a box of matches. If you have a beef with someone and decide to key their car, keying only their car, may very well bring the law down on you. If you key multiple cars, especially in seven different...

    'Are you a f******* idiot?': Police officer slams driver in one heated clash

    If people take exception to the police officer, they need to get a grip! A P plater already known to police does not deserve a courteous response. Okay, maybe not swear, but pussyfooting around with kids like this is a waste of time. Furthermore, the wannabe 'gangster' accent the kid affects...

    Boos spark outrage during welcome to country at dawn service

    Beautifully put! I agree with every word. The WTC has to stop. It's not wanted by anyone I know and to foist it on a captive audience on such a sacred occasion shows a mind blowing lack of respect.
