    Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney's spontaneous stopover at fan-created mural celebrating his music

    Are you one of the many Aussies annoyed by this common habit? You're not alone!

    People who park their trolly right next to a product you want to get and no matter how you much you have to lean over they continue to stay there. Also people who are on their phones and coming towards you. I have to say, I refuse to move out of the way and if they bump into me well so be it.

    Get FREE Grass-Fed Premium Beef For Life From Australia’s No.1 Meat & Seafood Delivery Service

    I phoned these guys and they were so helpful. I come from a butchering family and my husband was a butcher and I can tell you that Grass fed meat is far superior. Would rather pay more for something you can eat. My first box arrives tomorrow and we are pensioners so we do watch our budget.

    Australian grandmother, Galit Carbone, confirmed dead in Israel-Palestine conflict

    All violence particularly against women and children is deplorable. Unfortunately Israel has kept the Palestinians in a virtual prison for years. Many Jews sympathise with them.

    ‘Discriminatory’ detail in the car park of a recently opened Woolworths store left shoppers outraged

    This lady is absolutely correct. Although families with prams should have bigger bays but near the entrance, not necesary. I also think that there should be parking for the elderly near the entrance. Not all elderly people are in wheelchairs but many still have difficulty walking any distance...

    Young girl suffers severe burns from Kmart skincare product, mum issues warning

    Would have to agree that an 11 year old should not need any products like this. She would have beautiful young skin why mess with it.

    Discover what big change Woolworths has made to their checkouts–will this affect you?

    We live in an area where there are a lot of homes but the banks left the shopping centre. If you want money out of the only ATM it is not a bank one and there are charges. Don't have a problem with having to buy something but aren't the supermarlets making huge profits from their customers...

    You break it, you buy it? Mother refuses to pay $200 for Chanel perfume her child smashed!

    It is a bottle of perfume for God's sake. Unfortunate but not the end of the world. How sad that we put that before the feelings of an obviously very upset child.
