    Aussie state to roll out new driver's licence in days. What's in it for drivers?

    They might do the course but I doubt it would change their reckless behaviour if they are that kind of person anyway.

    'Absolute madness': Can this city-wide speed limit proposal slow locals down?

    Could be good to try. I don’t like their chance of success as people can’t even stick to 50 kph in residential areas as it is. It seems most people are in a big hurry! Modern housing estates have such narrow roads - cars parked either side and not much room for cars to pass safely - still many...

    Are your driving skills outdated? Experts believe so and here's why

    A good idea for everyone. (I’m sure Driving schools will be happy!) What about the opposite end of the driving population - some younger drivers - the ones who are always running late, in a big hurry. These ones have a complete disregard for keeping to the posted speed limits - especially 50...

    Government boosts home care funding to expand services for more patients

    Fantastic for people who don’t need real emergency care. Always best to be in their home if possible. Helpful for Palliative care and for the elderly who may have some dementia starting - being admitted in long hospital stays often makes the symptoms of confusion worse than if they are treated...

    Westpac axes cardless cash withdrawals from their ATMs nationwide

    Sounds like it’s due to the risks of scams & fraud according to the article. Don’t know what is so hard about having a couple of essential cards on you. Put the mobile phone in a flip case - they have room for a couple of cards. Protects your phone too.

    New cameras catch thousands and issue $1.7 million driving fines in one week

    Yes, too many people looking at their mobile phones whilst driving. In NSW demerit points make your CTP insurance more expensive. “Compulsory Third Party (CTP) legislation varies from state to state, with many including the cost in car registrations. However, in New South Wales, where there is a...

    Remembering the life of the Outlaws guitarist Freddie Salem (70)

    What a nice idea to include a little YouTube video of this singer and the band with a well known song. Hope that will continue whenever one of the famous bands you feature passes away.

    Mum's extreme money-saving tricks: 'I'd rather die than pay retail'

    How strange! Paper plates? They could wash up dishes & dry with a washable tea towel like everyone used to do.

    Man's daredevil stunt causes commotion and 'terror' among airline passengers

    Airlines will need to make the emergency doors absolutely lockable. This is crazy & dangerous behaviour. Imagine if he’d done it in mid flight!

    Australians Beware: The Shocking Dangers of the New Anti-Speeding System Revealed!

    Many new cars already have this. My new Toyota does. Doesn’t worry me! It’s a good idea - there are always those few entitled people who just drive whatever speed they like and tailgate those who adhere to the speed limit. It’s all about keeping roads & all who use them safer.

    Yes if you don’t work a day in your life you’ll get free aged care when you need it! Work all your life, save enough to support yourself (likely be ineligible the for aged pension) you’ll also have to fund your aged care.

    Shocking: Entitled 'Karen' in a BMW Causes Uproar with Her Unbelievable Act on Melbourne Streets!

    Entitled behaviour on our roads has unfortunately become commonplace. Safety messages are ignored by many people. Warnings about ‘Casual speeding’ falls on deaf ears. Where I live residential speed limits are 50 KPH. People often tailgate and overtake dangerously when drivers are obeying the...

    Post paralysis: Australia Post faces stampede of complaints over delivery fails!

    No problems for me with Australia Post here. (Suburb in Western Sydney). For the last year I’ve had good Parcel delivery from Australia Post - very professional and courteous from the parcel van deliverer and postal motorbike. Their App lets you know when it’s coming and if it has been delivered...

    Aussie chain's sneaky pricing tactic scrutinised by a consumer expert!

    I don’t really see anything wrong with it. Being a one person household & not able to use the bundle of ‘fresh foods - fruit, veg & meat’ offered as a bundle (two items), at Harris Farm I can get them at the same price as everyone else. I get really, really annoyed at Coles & Woolworths who do...
