    WONDERFUL IDEA! A members 'DIRECTORY' of volunteers sounds like a good step forward? In my 70's, and living in Bomaderry, NSW, I have been sewing since I was 8 years old. Due to the immoral cost of fabrics at Spotlight, I no longer make my own clothes, but I do miss sewing. If anyone needs a...

    Discover how this Woolies customer saved a whopping $90 on groceries!

    I SAVE EVEN MORE by NEVER shopping at Woolworths! Their 'every day' prices are JACKED SKY HIGH so when they put things "on sale" you are tricked into believing that you're getting a 'discount' when IN FACT you are not!

    Australian Seniors Vote to Tax the Rich!

    You commented "Interestingly, while the ‘yes’ votes came out on top, they made up the minority of comments". I voted yes, and didn't feel I NEEDED to 'justify' my answer with a comment, as, I'm guessing the majority of 'Yes' voters did as well (?) Therefore, I find it interesting that the...
