    'What would she know?': John Coates' blistering attack on TV presenter sparks debate

    Just because you don't have a sporting background doesn't mean you can't bring a new perspective to things and be a good administrator. And with her connections in the media, she may prove very useful in other areas of promotion of the body and those they represent. Time to get his head out of...

    Residents sound alarm over rampant thefts in this area. How safe are your supplies during the dry spell?

    Here in South Australia we are in a critical drought. Hard to believe for those in the eastern states who have been getting too much water. Owning a small rural holiday property myself, I know that tank water is currently liquid Gold. Without it, you are stuffed. So, if they catch these...

    ANZ Bank's latest decision has Aussies asking: What happened to simple signs?

    All banks care about is cutting costs and maximizing profit. They don't give a rats' arse about their customers. I started my banking career in 1974 when banks were a service industry. Over 26 years I watched as it changed, and they morphed, gobbling up their competitors and just becoming huge...

    Thousands of customers locked out of their banking accounts: 'How are they down so often?'

    And this is why cash should still be kept as an option for those that wish to use it.

    Australians to withdraw massive cash sums in this movement: 'Banks need to give us access'

    The systems will never be reliable because as long as profit drives our financial world, banks will cut corners on their systems and support to save money, not to mention the, at times, unreliable energy supplies that are needed to support electronic systems. Cashless is great, until the system...

    Mysterious disappearance on Australian roads - what's happening to our natural world? Find out now!

    Totally agree with you. I live in South Australia and one week in every three we travel to The Murray lands. Only today I have been at the carwash cleaning all the dead bugs off the car. As you said, depending on the weather, some days are better than others.

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

    Government itself is too big. Australia with a population of around 27 million does not need 3 levels of government. That is where the waste is! But once people are in the government system (and I am not talking about ordinary public servants here) they are harder to eradicate than termites...

    Media industry mourns as The Home Show star (80) passes away, following on-screen partner

    I love the way you guys promote and describe the people in your articles. "A TV. Legend". Hardly!!!! Graham Kennedy, Bert Newton, and a handful of others were legends. Richard was at best a good T.V presenter. How about you stop beating up your stories with unrealistic descriptions of them.

    Is Kmart fixing a decade-old mistake? Insiders reveal what’s coming

    Another dumb idea developed by a marketing guru. Also I have lived in Aadelaide for 68 years, in the eastern, Western and southern suburbs. Can you please advise me where east lakes is??????? Could you mean West lakes?????????

    Former SA leader’s guilty plea stuns supporters—what happens next will surprise you

    I am not a fan of this man in any way and I am anti drugs. He was our local member and we were forced to a bi election because of this. However, I smell a rat here. He was being filmed in his house and it must have been by a so called friend. Vincent Tarzia, the current Lib opposition leader had...

    This one mistake could slash your Centrelink payments! Here's how you can prevent it

    We have just completed a one year battle with Centrelink to have assets removed from our account which we have not owned for over 20 years. They were impacting our combined pension by $70 per fortnight. Once finally fixed I asked Centrelink about back pay as this was, on their admission, their...

    This parking behaviour has sparked outrage–could it be happening near you?

    Sadly I think that this is just a reflection of the "it's all about me" society that we live in today. So many selfish people who put themselves first, second and third.

    'They are lying’: Single mum blindsided by massive $8,000 Centrelink debt

    DO NOT TRUST CENTRELINK! I have recently been battling them over the valuation of assets, and the recording of assetts we had not owned for over 20 years. They admitted that the invalid assetts had been removed 20 years ago but then added again from the time we received a pension. These bogus...

    Trumpet of the Patriots: Clive Palmer’s bold new move before the election

    This man is an utter drop kick. His ads currently on T.V. make a lot of criticisms with absolutely no solutions. If he is so concerned about all of these things, why doesn't he put some of his multi -million dollar wealth into addressing them instead of ads to just state the bleeding obvious.

    Centrelink Scam Email
