    Australia farewells reformist leader (86) and fashion trailblazer (73)

    Your obituaries are way, way too long and detailed and for the vast majority of us have only the most fleeting interest. This is especially true for people whose active lives and contributions to society took place in the late 70s and early 80s. Please think about editing them down to 3...

    Cinema mourns: Legendary action star (75) and iconic Bond villain (92) pass away

    I agree wholeheartedly with Steve Janson. What's more I think the obituaries in this column are way, way too long and detailed. They read as though they have been snatched up holus-bolus from somewhere and dumped in their entirety, without ever seeing an editor's pen! 300 -500 words should be...

    Aussie TV icon faces criticism over controversial Facebook post! What did he say?

    What a fuss over absolutely nothing! nothing sinister in this ditty, nothing dangerous. Bad luck, Derryn, to be confronted by a bunch of such utter WIMPS!! Could not believe what I was reading, honestly.

    R&B pioneer Roberta Flack (88) passes away, leaving a legacy in soul music

    So sorry she has gone. "The First time Ever" kept me entranced for many, many weeks when I was young, and I have never forgotten the effect it had on me. Sorry too, to hear of the dreadful disease which attacked her.

    Warning: Your Favourite Vacation Cocktail Could Contain This Dangerous Chemical! Find Out Why

    This article was of absolutely NO help! "Why does methanol wind up in our drinks?" they ask. "Because someone put it there!" comes the wise, wise answer. We need to know about that backpacker place, about whether staying in inexpensive hostels is generally OK, about what the outcome and...

    $97K light show sparks outrage among residents over spending priorities

    Yes, it's a great tribute AND fully-deserved AND it'll be a spectacle for Sydney-siders. (But will we, in WA, see it televised? ) Wish people would stop being so damn PETTY!

    Monarchist groups criticise premiers for absent reception during royal visit

    I think their behaviour is unbelievably appalling and rude, and their "excuses" are incredibly pathetic and weak. (And, if anyone else agrees, I do hope someone passes this judgement on to them all.) They should be perfectly capable of embracing and adhering to their Republican beliefs -- if...

    J.D. Souther, singer-songwriter behind The Eagles' hits, passes away at 78

    I cannot speak for this musician, I did not know his songs. BUT, Seniors Discount, PLEASE, PLEASE stop describing literally everyone who dies as an "icon". Icons are special, they are at the top of the pile, there are not many of them, and I am now profoundly irritated to find the term applied...

    Princess Catherine's latest appearance sparks royal health speculation and public concern

    In articles such as this about the Princess, I DO wish that you could stop saying the same thing over, over and over, ad nauseam. It is now intensely irritating to KEEP reading about her private health concerns vs her royal responsibility! DO leave the poor woman alone till you can find...

    Royal Family member's 'entirely unnecessary' remark irks Prince William

    I think it is a fearful fuss about nothing, and hope that Prince William will very soon find bigger things to worry about.

    You Won't Believe What This Barefoot Passenger Did on a Flight – It's Causing Outrage!

    Much too much fuss over something which is honestly pretty small in the scale of things. Please don't lose a sense of perspective, SDC!! It's annoying, sure, to have someone's foot in your lap, but she only had to give the foot a smack, or the passenger a nudge -- and ask him to move it...

    Urine trouble! Man’s supermarket shenanigan sparks nationwide hunt!

    That's a bit unfair to the store concerned. Perhaps the photo should be taken up by the local (community) newspaper in the area??

    Urine trouble! Man’s supermarket shenanigan sparks nationwide hunt!

    Surely this disgusting individual can be tracked somehow? I agree that his expression shows that he was well aware of how his stunt would be regarded. Yuk!!

    Who is the 'drive-by-pooper'? Locals release CCTV images in search of the mystery defecator

    EVERYONE should be involved. You cannot just ignore behaviour like this; it is beyond revolting. Surely this car can be traced? If the perpetrator has a valid excuse, well and good, but I, for one, am utterly fed up with the mindset that says everyone can do exactly as they please, how and...
