    Where to get the best deals on your Christmas groceries this year: Coles, Woolworths or ALDI?

    It really depends on what you are buying. I find that the local fruit and veg shop has better quality and cheaper prices than any of the supermarkets. As for groceries, it depends on what you are after.

    Queensland police have DITCHED this watchhouse device over human rights concerns

    There is no mention of them still being used in mental institutions. The hoods are still used until the patients are medicated and calm. Using face shields is impractical, useless, and unsafe as it has been found that you can still get sprayed with body fluids and feaces. The only practical...

    Australia’s Food Crisis: ‘From homeless on the street to people living in your street’

    I agree in relation to how Christmas has become so wrong in many different ways as to how we were taught the meaning when we were younger. It is very interesting when one finds out exactly how customs or traditions come into existence considering how a lot of them are based on or become the...

    Distressing reports of Remembrance Day disrespect - what has become of our nation?

    This is very true. A lot of people who have migrated here do not understand nor care about the meaning behind Remembrance Day or our customs, yet they will still have and will celebrate their own festivals and expect Australians to understand their customs.

    This Bunnings worker has had enough of cleaning up faeces and made an urgent plea to customers

    I feel sorry for the staff, they have enough to deal with and shouldn't have to clean up after animals. I have noticed that quite a few retail outlets have reverted back to no dogs (animals) allowed in the store due to the staff having to clean up after them. The only animal that should be...

    Etsy seller caught passing off marked-up Kmart shelf as ‘homemade’ - unbelievable!

    This is the main reason why a lot of the genuine makers closed their accounts on Etsy as they were competing with manufacturers and people that were reselling. Etsy hasn't previously and still doesn't monitor or do anything about the resellers. There are still genuine makers on there you just...

    Supermarket employee’s resignation letter is trending – it only contains TWO words!

    What these people don't realise is that they are doing themselves more harm than good. Word does get around from other people as to what they have done. It states in an employee's award, enterprise agreement, other registered agreement, or employment contract how much notice they need to give...

    This new restaurant 'trend' is driving diners crazy - do you think we should stop this?

    Are YOU at risk? New study suggests white rice and pasta are as harmful as eating lollies

    What we don't know is who has funded the research. The food industry is rife with corruption, especially where research is concerned. Nutrition recommendations have been mostly Eurocentric and fail to consider the cultural significance of foods like white rice and pasta. It’s not only a...
