I think that Centerlink employees should have degrees in Medical Services, a Doctor of Medicine, Social Services, and Psychology before being employed as a door security person. It might help, who knows?

Haha, funny, but I don't have a day job.

What a great article, guys. My congratulations. I suffer from all the issues you mentioned, but I generally manage to find ways around them. One thing I cannot fix, though, is carrying the vacuum cleaner up the stairs. No real problem carrying it (except for the blasted hose), I don't have any...

The main issue for me with EVs is the recharge cycle. I sometimes visit friends who live interstate, which requires long-distance driving ( I take my dog with me), so it would be a bit nerve-wracking at times. Years ago, we could take some spare fuel in a Jerrycan, but I don't think that is...

I do feel that the intention here was genuine, but my mind is struggling to come to terms with the actual installations. Firstly, why would you use major centre locations where people would most likely just play with it as a gimmick os some sort. Surely, country locations where this type of...

I fell out with Optus many millennials ago. Never liked their business procedures and would never consider them ever again.

I did not know that IKEA sold Ford products. How do you buy a Ranger in a flat pack? They should really stick to furniture and stay away from food (especially near Ford) and kitchen products. Next, they will be selling clothes and cigarettes or boats and airplanes.

Went to see my GP the other day/ He said, "Haven't seen you for a while". I said, "I know, I've been sick". (Sorry, oldie but goodie.)

Just last week, a friend of mine did me the courtesy of taking me to the local shopping center on a busy day. He found a parking space that he could use, but he needed to reverse into it so that I could get out more easily. To do that, he needed to go forward into a Disabled Parking spot, which...

Oh dear, what a touchy subject. I am thinking that, taking a completely lateral point of view, I will receive a tongue-lashing from members, but here it is. I believe that a higher income for politicians will attract more qualified people for the positions as they become available. There has to...

"Don Watson Transport's rise to the ranks was a classic Australian tale of grit, innovation, and family." So, what happened to the grit, innovation, and family to cause this sad downfall? Did they just give up? Perhaps this is the modern way. Who really knows?

Well done FSANZ. Bad Ikea, Naughty Ikea, now stop trying to poison all your customers and get back to injuring them whilst trying to construct a flat pack! Lol.

This is what makes Australia great (where on earth did I hear that recently?). Applause to the Government for this. It is not perfect, but of course, there are always differing circumstances that may not have been foreseen. I really hope this helps our hard-working farmers and that those in...

I have been with Telstra through many of their name changes over the last 50 years. Throughout that time, there have always been cheaper alternatives that I was aware of, similar to those available at present. The thing is, I have always known that the service and backup from Telstra have always...
