    Government Services Minister unveils revolutionary ‘gold standard’ in digital security

    Indeed; when the pigs introduce income tax cuts just before a General Election and the farmers vote with the pigs and promise to implement those income tax cuts if elected you know that one of the legs is both the same.

    'This is not Australia': Sunrise presenter slams local council as they ban one key community member

    "there are 36 pages of instructions from VicRoads to the traffic supervisors,'' If that relates only to "lollipop persons" some bureaucrat in VicRoads is up themselves. '

    'This is not Australia': Sunrise presenter slams local council as they ban one key community member

    He's a bloke; we blokes are all sex perverts and child-molesters these days, didn't you know? (Sarcasm alert)

    Banking or Break-In? The Hilarious Struggle of Online Access!

    Nor is it that hard to crack a code of solely 6 numbers. Yes 10 000 000 possible numbers might take a few computing hours given the appropriate computer and program, but....and just wait till quantum computing gets going. Two-factor authentication is probably the best secure system today, apart...

    Caravan company’s collapse into liquidation leaves customers in the dark: ‘I was angry’

    Ah well; Donald Trump is a 6-times bankrupt. That's all it takes to be President of the USA. Thanks for the details and the warning inherent in them. I did have a bloke come round to give me his company's spiel about fitting solar cells and oddly enough his demeanour and instant ability to...

    Aussie driver's defiant note and gold coins challenge cashless parking meters

    Great idea. Where I live the damnable parking meter screens can be read only by a dwarf and the screens are not easy to see through even when on one's knees.

    Aussie driver's defiant note and gold coins challenge cashless parking meters

    I said that to a teller when I got my first credit card in 1984. She seemed very surprised to hear that she could be replaced by a machine.

    Learner driver turned away over 'not orange enough' blinkers sparks debate—is it fair?

    Interesting to note that many turn indicators on modern cars use orange bulbs and a clear lense. In bright sunlight these can be difficult to recognise when flashing. Other modern blinkers are garishly bright and thus affect one's night vision, as do those bloody blue headlights the light from...

    Flashy encounters: this friendly driver’s gesture could cost drivers $2200!

    Now about that damn silly Alsatian dog with its head out of the window barking at other cars..........

    Flashy encounters: this friendly driver’s gesture could cost drivers $2200!

    What is below the posted speed limit? I know someone booked for driving at 1.2 km above the local speed limit; he fought it and lost. Even when I set the speed on my modern hi-tech car, there is enough variation in speed according to slope of road to get booked either above or below the speed...

    Con artist flees with $337,000 from 88-year-old pensioner in fake police sting

    ‘They’ve got their name and know addresses.’ the lawyer added. They are in the "White Pages". Even a Kiwi can read those. Headline: Pensioners lost $337,000 to a cunning scammer posing as a WHAT?! Pensioners is plural. Someone in SDC forgot to proof-read the text of the article.

    Police issue urgent warning over scam involving forged documents—are you at risk?

    Just proves that Sydney is bigger than New South Wales. Where the H*** is Illawara anyway; I may have hears of it during a weather forecast, once. But again, in the course of splitting hares, an Illawara community could well live in Sydney as does a Vietnamese community, or even an Australian...

    Your 3G phone might still work! How delay in shutdown affects you

    There is nothing 'advanced' about 5G. It is just more complicated and the more complicated a system gets the less robust it is. Communication systems need to be robust, which is what the 'old fashioned' copper wire landline system was, including the trans-oceanic telephone cables. However, we...

    Ex-police officer falls victim to impersonation scam: Police advise what to watch out for!

    I wonder how Services Australia keeps one's voice-print secure. Good job we don't yet live in a dictatorship; you could say anything to anyone and get both of you hauled off to the basement cellar and the bastinado by bastards, even though you were somewhere else speaking to no-one else at the...

    Expat falls victim to a WhatsApp impersonation scam: 'I felt like a huge i****'

    We have had the LNP for most of the last 30 years............and that is, unlike the UK, with 100% of the electorate having to vote.

    Ex-police officer falls victim to impersonation scam: Police advise what to watch out for!

    Seems that someone now has the choice of 10 power7 numbers for getting your credit card details. It might take a decent hacker's computer a couple of hours to crunch through the possible combination of numbers left; something for a computer guru-cum-mathematician to confirm. That sort of stunt...
