    ACCC slams Coles and Woolworths over misleading prices and discount schemes

    This whole thing annoys me. Let's have a look at it. 1. You would have to agree that supermarkets bring thousands of products and brands together in convenient locations making it easy for a consumer to locate the goods they need. 2. It is the consumer's choice to purchase goods at a price THEY...

    New study exposes wildlife smuggling: 170 Australian reptile species sold overseas

    A baby Galah or cockatoo will fetch $10,000.00 and more in the US. It must be horrifying for these young birds to be crushed into small containers for at least 24 hours to evade detection by customs. A large proportion will probably die.

    Is your data at risk? Online shopping website in hot water over alleged data theft scandal

    I placed a small order with Temu about 10 days ago but have not received it or heard from them since. Fortunately, it was not a very expensive amount, so I will just sit out of interest and see what happens. I think the accusation of being hacked is an interesting public relations exercise!

    Australian Federal Police uncover jaw-dropping amounts of drugs hiding in unsuspecting shipment

    Well done, all the Authorities involved in this result. It will have saved hundreds of lives and prevented many episodes of brutal attacks. I trust the Judiciary will punish the perpetrators to the maximum and throw away the keys.

    Tragic car crash: Diabetic driver accused of killing five reportedly has ‘no memory’ of incident

    A simple jelly baby might have saved lives here. The problem is that the Authorities might accuse other Diabetics of being irresponsible and possibly dangerous because of this incident. Hopefully, they do not accuse those of us who go to great pains to look after our blood sugar levels of being...

    Shoppers outraged! See the 'disgusting' act inside Woolworths that's causing a massive divide

    Well said. My Assistance dog is Mr Chips. He more or less takes me everywhere with him. He takes me on trains, around shopping centres, on buses but we do not go into supermarkets or similar so he patiently waits outside until I get what I need if I absolutely have to be in there. Mr Chips...

    This local government's initiative aims to improve the lives of seniors. Will you join in?

    I have a concern over this initiative. Whilst not being against it and applauding the government's attempt at supporting communications for seniors, at the same time they seem to have sectionalised it into groups which gives me the feeling that it is either racist or religiously grouped into...

    A cunning bank scam wipes out couple's $240,000 life savings—are your funds at risk, too?

    Both of my banks are great. Shout out to Australian Mutual Bank and NAB. Both discovered possible scams in my account and took the appropriate action before I lost anything. However, in a couple of cases where I did lose money due to error or overpayment or similar, they have gone to my help and...

    Company to ditch 'soup' after 155 years in rebranding effort to reflect modern food trends

    Oh well said, a brilliant comment. I have a can of Campbells' tomato soup in my cupboard at the moment and when I use it I always replace it. The name change does not entirely phase me but I do agree with the comments made by BabsL. So well said.
