    When men in power target children, should bail even be an option?

    My comment is based on the facts. Yours is based on emotion not facts and is also naive.

    When men in power target children, should bail even be an option?

    Whilst I find his behaviour objectionable it seems to be at the lower end of offending. He was not interfering with random girls but attempting to access young prostitutes. Much like Donald Trump.

    Say goodbye to cords! Here’s why more Aussies are switching to 5G home internet

    I was offered 5G home access but declined because all wireless signals become unreliable in bad weather. Also there are young gamers in our household who want the fastest ping rate which means hard wiring. However I can see the advantages of 5G internet in some situations as this article...

    Can your payments disappear when you need them the most? One woman's experience may have the answer

    The staff at our local Centrelink office are great. It is the system they work in that causes nearly all the problems. The last LNP government were cruel and set out to destroy it and unfortunately the current Labor government are not repairing the damage.

    New tax laws prompt changes in retirement plans nationwide. Here's what we know

    $3 million is too much. Reduce it to $2 million and index it. Great to see the government finally acting to get rid of one of the tax avoidance measures the rich love because nearly all the benefits go to them. Next to go should be negative gearing on existing property. NG should only be...

    Animals acting naturally and some people get upset. But dogs should never be wandering around freely in urban areas.

    Nationals MP reveals cancer diagnosis after noticing small detail

    I had a slowly rising PSA from about age 55 but it was tracking just above the usual increase with ageing and a digital rectal exam indicated nothing. But at age 65 the PSA started rising faster and a digital exam was inconclusive. So I was sent to a Urologist who sent me for a biopsy which was...

    Feeling the pinch? Here's why some might miss out on a potential $932 support increase

    Pensioners need to show how disgusted we are with the recent insulting and unrealistic pension increase. Do this by putting the LNP and ALP last when you vote shortly. There are many Independent and Minor party candidates who have much fairer policies than Liberal and Labor who both put...

    These Near-Death Survivors Share Their Otherworldly Experiences - It Will Change Your Perspective on Everything!

    None of these recollections are from people who are dead, they are from people who almost died. And their reported experiences vary from vivid activity to nothing at all. So I find it impossible to draw any sort of conclusion about an afterlife from that.

    ‘$3.10 isn't even a litre of milk’: Centrelink recipients slam latest payment increase

    That is all true. Increases need to be flat increases not percentage increases because percentage increases make the gap between the haves and have nots grow larger.

    ‘$3.10 isn't even a litre of milk’: Centrelink recipients slam latest payment increase

    This miniscule increase is an insult when sold as keeping pensioners up with inflation because it does no such thing. Is anybody other than those in government going to claim that their living costs have risen by about $2 a week over the past six months. I doubt it because we all know our costs...

    ‘$3.10 isn't even a litre of milk’: Centrelink recipients slam latest payment increase

    So we should vote for Dutton instead and really send power prices through the roof which is what the LNP policy would do. The reason for these high power prices is price gouging by the private sector generators made possible by LNP governments selling our public generators.
