Is NSW free of the failure to register impost then? Why do you express horror, grievance, dismay, frustration or whatever that all Australian states do not have the same laws? Each is a sovereign state with plenary powers jealously guarded to itself. Well, OK the states do deign to delegate...

If we are to be supervised by non-elected organisations such as AFCA (which after all is a non-elected ombudsman), we have to expect to pay for it. We do pay in at least two ways. Firstly, we pay for its existence and infrastructure (either directly or through financial institutions), and...

I can't understand the complaints that all state's laws in Australia are not the same. Each state enacts laws which are considered appropriate for its population and its circumstance, sometime from an historical perspective. The differences between the states are what give the country its character.

How much spaghetti is that? How much scallops is that?

Thank you April, just one further, minor, question. Are you on commission?

The driver in this instance is not the only one who got it wrong. The correspondent and another commentator also got it wrong. Was the parking area signed? Yes. Did the signage also have the requirement that vehicles being parked should by reversed into the parking space at an angle? Yes. Did...

To each his own. Good luck with this one.

It might be appropriate for those who use pasta frequently, but for most Aussies, stick to the tried and true method. "Bland" vegetables, my arse!

Cookie Dough? The very name reads like an abomination. Why can't the Americans keep their repulsive over-sweetened, fatty, so-called "foodstuffs" deep in the heart of Americana?

I would be bloody (excuse any pun) infuriated. It seems that anyone now with a political "bee in its bonnet" can put up an hypothesis and expect it to be incorporated into government regulations, even if not the popular community. My guess is that the Durham U "experts" consist of a bunch of...

The idea of school "speed zones" was misconceived in the first place. Had the government of the day considered the economic and environmental impact of "stop-start" motoring, whether on arterial roads or back streets, it might have invested some of its tax (and other revenue) holdings on safety...

This is another of SDC's unfortunate attempts to show itself as the consumers' (or pensioners') "white knight". It is nothing of the sort. Paraphrasing sensationalist assertions of poorly operating regulatory bodies and self described "experts" in the commercial field is not good journalism (is...

Sounds good, but there's nowhere I can buy 8oz mushrooms
