    $97K light show sparks outrage among residents over spending priorities

    He is actually the King of Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales and Commonwealth countries. Do your homework before making crass comments.

    Nicole Kidman’s tense interaction with Salma Hayek raises eyebrows: ‘Don’t touch me’

    For God's sake - another storm in a teacup. How ridiculous - in the current wartorn world, this is of relevance?

    Monarchist groups criticise premiers for absent reception during royal visit

    Ridiculous response. This isn't about how he has behaved, or not, in the past. This is about respecting a visiting dignitary.

    Monarchist groups criticise premiers for absent reception during royal visit

    This is appalling behaviour on behalf of these people. Whether or not we want a King in Australia, this man is a visiting dignitary and should be afforded the respect any such person deserves when coming to Australia. The unbelieveably childish behaviour on the part of these people does not...

    Duchess steps back amid changing dynamics in their relationship

    Personally I couldn't care less about this couple as there are more things going on in the world causing concern. However, your rather sarcastic comment about "Pommies" is quite erroneous. When this lady joined the Royal Family she was welcomed with open arms in the UK. It was only after their...

    Duchess steps back amid changing dynamics in their relationship

    Does anyone care? There are far too many humanitarian crises going on in the world at the moment to care about those two!

    Unlocking Australia’s spare spaces: Innovative solutions to housing crisis

    If people wish to rent out spare rooms in their house that is their prerogative. However no-one, least of all older pensioners, should be pressured into doing this. There are so many factors to take into account in renting to someone unknown - rental history/employment history/any legal or...

    Socceroos icon and Australian of the Year’s public snub of King Charles’ invite sparks debate

    Doesn't matter whether you are Republican or not, this was purely a matter of courtesy. As "Australian of the year" he embarrassed both himself and Australia. How childish. Any Diplomat knows sometimes you have to meet people with whom you are not totally aligned either ethically or politically...

    Score expensive 'big ticket' items for half the price at BIG W's sale!

    It's amazing how Aldi's pricing system has an affect on other retailers. Many of the items listed have been sold in Aldi at a far cheaper price. They might, in some cases, be different manufacturers but Aldi's consistent high value content and quality remains.

    At 93, Barbara Eden's Secret Diet and Workout Routines Revealed – Stay Youthful Like the Iconic 'I Dream of Jeannie' Star!

    Whilst I totally agree with her philosophy and agree she looks great for her age, don't be naive - plastic surgery and/or Botox has also come into play here. Not condemning it, just saying!

    Shocking Reaction from Aussies After British Expat's Controversial Rant Goes Viral!

    As an expat Scot and having lived here for 40 years I have to agree to an extent with this guy. Some Australians do find difficulty with Brit humour and don't seem to get it at all. We tend to have a very self-deprecating sense of humour which can involve knocking ourselves and others, and...

    Kmart's $15 ballet flats mimic $1740 Khaite Marcy design

    I have to disagree - I wear ballet flats all the time and love them. They re comfortable and light on the feet. I have a huge and varied selection of them in a range of colours and styles. However, each to their own.

    Bagged out: ALDI shoppers share their frustrations about supermarket's 25-cent charge

    Such a first world problem! Use your commonsense. I aways carry a couple of fold-up shoppers in my bag. They take up no room at all and carry a fair amount of shopping. These paper bags are not made for heavy shopping - duh!

    The music and entertainment industry mourns the loss of Zulya Kamalova (55) and Geoffrey Hinsliff (86)

    Hadn't heard of the lady but watched the video. What a beautiful voice - sadly now silent.

    Joke Friday Funnies: On a plane to Australia | Billy Connolly

    This skit is a very old one. However, with the King of Comedy - nothing ages. The man is a brilliant raconteur, artist, singer, writer, musician - the whole kit and caboodle. Have followed him from his time with the Humblebums to recent times when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. An...
