What a crazy situation. Police say they are understaffed and with our legal system not doing it's job and allowing criminal activity to be rewarded with inadequate sentences, retailers must help by taking action against criminal acts when seen. Too many Aussies take the view of "not my job" and...

Agree totally with Karl and also Ali. Not the time or the place for such antics. The topic is much bigger and warrants debate with the anti movement being full of lefties who have their own personal agendas. The replacement of the Monarch with a President would be a worry as I haven't...

DFAT, waftam, if they are not going to register a protest with US, who will in a political sense? I feel for this girl who has been harshly treated particularly where she had an itinerary covering at least some time in Canada. About time the US saw us as friends not adversaries. DEFAT via our...

Statements are factually incorrect. Canning process is to pack during the season (Febtuary to May) in "bright cans". These are warehoused in pallet lots. Fruit canning and tomato lines are completely separate and should be stored separately for obvious reasons. Once orders are received the...
