    Behind breakfast scenes: Why TV host's return has Channel 9 in crisis mode

    Karl is the problem here. Add Sam to the mix and they will double their problem. So if all this rumor is correct, Channel & Executives must think that they won the lottery

    Road deaths rising as Aussies confess to dangerous driving habits they just can't quit

    In South Australia we now have overhead cameras in several locations to pick up mobile phone and seatbelt offences. More cameras are on the way next year. They are currently raising millions in revenue despite the fact that there was a grace period when they were introduced. The police have also...

    Former President's cancer battle offers hope amid challenging diagnosis

    I truly believe Joe Biden to be a decent man and hope he can beat this terrible disease. I lost my brother in law to prostate cancer a year ago at only 70. He had been battling the disease for 10 years and each time they thought they had it licked, it came back. I also hope that Donald Trump...

    Aussies are falling for this friendly-looking pokies scam—you might be next

    Sorry, but as some others have pointed out, if you are stupid enough to fall for this then you deserve to lose your money. These days, trust no one.

    Growing crisis puts postal workers' safety in spotlight

    Sorry but there is another side to this. Firstlly, electric bikes and scooters cannot be heard. That can be changed. Secondly, I have seen many posties riding like idiots. So whilst I accept some blame lies with motorists there is also a considerable amount of blame that should. Lie with the...

    When champions can't remember: Allan Moffat's courageous battle with dementia

    I was never a Ford or Allan Moffat fan. I was a Holden man. But you can only greatly admire his achievements when he was out there against Peter Brock. When Peter Brock was killed, Allan Moffat was devistated. That says so much about this man. Dementia is a cruel disease. So sad.

    ALDI delivers knockout blow to supermarket giants with $900+ annual grocery savings

    Horses for courses, but if you are prepared to put up with a few weaknesses in their service model, then there are definite savings to be made. When my wife swapped to ALDI a few years ago, I was dead against it, but I am now a "Born Again" ALDI fan. Their no name brands are largely made in...

    "The banking industry argues that change is customer-driven. 98.9 per cent of all bank transactions are digital and customers 'report the highest satisfaction using this channel', according to Australian Banking Association CEO Anna Bligh". Lies, lies and more lies. firstly I dispute the...

    Confrontation with tourist leaves Aussie making headlines

    Once we all realise how "special" Americans are, the better off the world will be. Every country they visit is expected to be just like it is in America. Well if they want everything the same as back home, why don't they just stay at home and give the rest of the world a break. In my opinion, if...

    Opposition leader signals Centrelink cuts! Here’s what they don't want you to know

    Firstly, in any system as large as Social Security there will be some rorting. A government can always work on this. But generally, people who receive relief from this system need it. The vast majority of us are not on a social security payment, including the pension, because we want to be or...

    Trump's extraordinary attack on respected Australian journalist sparks diplomatic concerns

    John Lyons poked the bear, and full marks for doing so. At least he had the guts to say "The emperor has no clothes". If more people, including journos had the guts to ask the tuff questions then Trump may have a little less power. The best Trump could come back with is that he is meeting the...

    Songwriting legend behind era-defining hits passes away at 86, leaving lasting musical legacy

    I knew the story behind these songs and I really enjoyed The Monkees music. Their TV show however I found to be typical American humour, and not my thing. I followed Michael Nesmiths quite successful career post Monkees and enjoyed his music. We tend to forget that behind every great song is the...
