    Unlock every Woolworths discount code with this secret method!

    Why should I choose to have someone else choose my groceries (& substitute out of stock items with things I might not ever use) in order to get this saving? I still have to drive to the WW store so I might as well get the exercise of walking around the store choosing my groceries. I consider...

    Customers express outrage over hidden fees on an ‘average tasting sandwich’

    I was recently charged $1 to have a wrap toasted at my local coffee shop. There was no sign anywhere advising the fee for toasting. I think that $1 is over-the-top & will definitely not get caught in that trap again. Just go back to getting my cup of coffee & eat my own sandwich.

    Binning budgets: Aussie city's residents face upcoming 'bin tax' hike amidst cost-of-living woes

    And get yourself a compost bin to create your own compost so your garden improves. Then tell the council that you do not need that bin & DEMAND the charge be removed from your rates bill. I have made my own compost for many years now & my vegie garden benefits greatly from it & so does my...

    Binning budgets: Aussie city's residents face upcoming 'bin tax' hike amidst cost-of-living woes

    When the recycle bins were first introduced ours was divided into 2 sections - 1 for paper, the other for glass, cans & other recyclable containers. What happened to this method of recycling? I used the bin then but now I can't be bothered with separating everything when I take my kitchen tidy...

    This air fryer cleaning trick is the one professional cleaners swear by!

    Commonsense has been lost to the young generation. Of course you soak something that has food stuck to it. I do this with anything that has food stuck to it so that I don't have to scrub the pots & pans later. I wonder what the younger generation would do without Tik Tok & similar to find out...

    Dog groomer faces $7500 fine after shocking treatment to customer’s pet

    I struggle sometimes to bath & clip my 2 "boys" but I would never let them out of my sight into the hands of a groomer I don't know. I know they can get restless when being clipped & I would not want them to be hurt by some careless groomer.

    Grieving mother slams Centrelink’s ‘unfair’ rule: ‘It's very wrong’

    Not heartless, just a realist. Rules are there to be followed no matter how we might feel about them. This has been the way for generations. A few years ago in the industry I was in, a person had to be 36 weeks when she delivered her baby to get maternity leave. One of the staff delivered at...

    Grieving mother slams Centrelink’s ‘unfair’ rule: ‘It's very wrong’

    This baby did not meet any of the criteria for Centrelink payment. He was under the required gestation being only 19 weeks & grossly underweight at just 230g of the required 400g. Looking at another side of this unfortunate situation, I believe it still applies that a stillborn/miscarriage...

    Brisbane legend passes at 67—remembering Ross Thornton's legacy

    A lot of over-the-top headlines here. Devastating battle with cancer? Why was his battle any more devastating than any other Aussie? Just because he was a footballer (never heard of him in that field either) we make it sound worse for him to have cancer than for any other Aussie.

    Shocking behaviour: See what this postie did to an unsuspecting man's lawn!

    That might be a possibility for those who actually have a kerb to start with except that the area belongs to the council & you are not allowed to put anything on "their" property. They have even been known to order the removal of gardens planted on the nature strip in an effort to make the...

    Shocking behaviour: See what this postie did to an unsuspecting man's lawn!

    Because the letter box is supposed to be at the front of your property not on council property. The postie would have no obligation to leave anything in a letter box out near the gutter. In fact, he would probably have to go out of his way to reach that letter box so definitely would not get...

    Meta's AI Llama 3 gallops Down Under: Aussies get a taste of tech magic!

    I definitely won't be using it & if it decides to interact with my posts then I will probably be forced to leave facebook. I don't understand why we need it in the first place. Have we become so useless that we have to ask an imaginary person how to do something? I have never used Siri or...

    Shocking behaviour: See what this postie did to an unsuspecting man's lawn!

    It looks to me like his letterbox is on his fence line which is where it is supposed to be. The grass in front of it belongs to the local council even though this man has tended it for years. Unfortunately, some people do not respect the work that has gone into keeping our suburbs beautiful &...

    Draft NDIS bill is the first step to reform – but some details have disability advocates worried

    This review is badly needed & more control placed over how the funds are used. There appears to be way less control exercised over the use of these funds than seniors have over their use of funds when they have been assessed to need help in order to remain in their own homes as they age.

    Shocking photo of grandmother attacked in her own home released by police

    Bastards. What kind of person does this to an elderly lady? Definitely not a man!! because no real man would ever hit a woman, let alone bash her to this state. Hope the police catch them soon & then give them a dose of their own medicine - or put them in prison & let the other prisoners do...

    Driving shift: Millions of state’s motorists gear up for major licence change

    I hope it never becomes compulsory as I usually forget to take my phone with me when I go out. It's a phone - not a filing cabinet. I have no idea how to add an app & don't want to know. I have a basic phone so that probably wouldn't work anyway as most of these apps need a very expensive...

    Foliage fiasco: Retiree roots for justice against council's hefty fine!

    I agree. Pot your Aggies & leave the council property untended. If they demand that you mow it (I'm sure they will), then send them a bill for every time you mow, weed, water "their" property. Take them to court if they fail to pay this a/c.
