    Speeding into trouble: Teenage driver's joyride cost him a whopping fine

    Penalties are not nearly severe enough and not advertised much at all. Make these idiots aware of the consequences before they get into a car. If they are caught well take away the licence for a much longer period, crush the car, and inflict a possible prison sentence.

    Increased wait times: How long will you wait for disability support now?

    I have great empathy for Centrelink employees. It must take a lot of resolve to work in that environment but they are well-educated people with good qualifications and they are all community-minded. I think the system is strangled by a shortage of staff with the resolve and qualifications to...

    Alert for collectors: Your valuables could be at risk with Australia Post – Man's rare coins lost!

    I reckon that Australia Post has a couple of gigantic warehouses located in or around Perth and Darwin. After having lost a number of items over the years this has to be the only answer. All my lost parcels were traced to either Perth or Darwin after which they disappeared from the face of the...

    Insurance company IAG gets massive class action lawsuit for algorithm-based increase

    ‘If you see something, say something’: Campaign launch highlights importance of reporting retail crimes

    I congratulate this effort be it in vain or not. At least the Supermarkets are looking at different ways to combat activity which after all purely affects the normal genuine customer who is penalised by higher pricing.

    Shame on anyone buying these products from Timu who are a Chinese Company not known for their honest advertising/trading. If you get caught then it serves you right and what are you doing buying from China anyway?

    G'day groceries: Expat's hilarious journey through Aussie supermarkets leaves internet in stitches!

    Talking about embarrassing confusion, when I first arrived in Australia as a young 21-year-old in 1972 I was dealing with the slight differences in descriptions of both supermarket products and general day-to-day items. I was in a pretty good office job (as an Engineer) and was being very well...

    I've had my Woolworths Rewards membership for years and I know I have saved a considerable amount of money because of it. I get home delivery for free (costs $14.00 per month for as many free deliveries as you wish) and the Woolworths website makes shopping very easy. There were 38 pages of...

    I respectfully suggest Mr New-Zealand lawyer that you F__k off back to NZ and create issues with your own retailers. Wouldn't they accept you there? Not surprising.
