    Are Buy Now, Pay Later Services Pushing Australians to Choose Between Essential Medications and Debt?

    Buy now. Afterpay is a trap. I think many people need to learn how to cook well, healthy but cheap. How to do groceries cheaper. Turn off the lights and no heater but wrap yourself in blankets. I think I saved about $130 or more from the summer electricity quarter bill because I only turned on...

    Terrifying details emerge: Multiple children in serious condition after school bus and truck collision

    Poor little children and the news that one child has had a total amputation and others part. Looking at the bus when it was pulled up, likely the children's arms and fingers. The seat belt may not have helped much with the children seated on this side of the bus. Sadly, their lives have changed...

    Stay one step ahead: Protecting your parcels from rising theft rates

    I get a few parcel deliveries and my entrance is side driveway entrance. So, hidden from view. Plus, I try to ensure that I'm home when i have ordered items and if need to get some groceries I wait until after 4-5pm to shop as the couriers finish up for the day and delivery may be next day...

    Is full cream milk making a comeback? See why consumers are ditching low-fat varieties!

    Always been full cream milk for me. I'm guessing that people have caught on just add water to a glass of milk to water it down. I tried skim milk and light milk and it's water. So, I guess people now buy full cream and use less or water it down when making a smoothie. I add ice water this when...

    Outrageous or justified? Discover the millionaire dad's controversial on-flight act involving his family

    Flew business class once to Perth with my mum. We had economy tickets and when we got there to check in we found out that one of my brothers used his points to upgrade us. Everyone should try it once but I'd rather donate money to animal shelters and fly economy. My brother simply needed to...

    $5 Kmart item discovery leaves customers ‘horrified’

    I love Kmart and some of their items. Their prices are making the others rethink their prices. I've noticed a difference with the new Kmart, now old as the years have gone by. But, Kmart themselves were once very expensive. They out-priced themselves on items that they use to sell. Things like...

    Hidden camera reveals shocking theft: 77-year-old’s carer busted stealing cash

    Sadly, it's a case of you can not trust people these days, not even some family members. It's also a reason why I'm also reluctant for home care, NDIS. You can't even trust people to come in and do some maintenance repairs.

    Heartbreaking news as cricket legend Glenn McGrath grieves the loss of his beloved father, Kevin

    How is it always heart breaking when a person passes away from being old. People 'finally' pass away. Both my parents have passed away and one brother and last year his son passed away. Heart breaking if it's from a tragic accident, a baby, a young child or teenager, because of terrorism...

    Heartbreaking news as cricket legend Glenn McGrath grieves the loss of his beloved father, Kevin

    Good question. Because they are use his name. It's the exact same thing when others set-up charity funds to raise money for charity using a family member's name. They get money as well. He and his late wife Jane were the founders. It was a way to earn 'extra money' for each of them. More income...

    2023-4 Federal Budget: What does it mean for you?

    How can they say we are in The Black when we are actually in The Red. False and misleading information. Tell all Australia how much is $owed and the Interest rate as well per day. Stop selling our assets. They're ours and instead invest in them ourselves and sell what the world needs...

    Heartbreaking news as cricket legend Glenn McGrath grieves the loss of his beloved father, Kevin

    I don't like to say it but I've heard that Glenn gets a percentage of the donations. Making money from his first wife's passing. All the people setting up fund raising companies, are just that. Companies. It means that monies go to run it and people at the top like Glenn make money. For Glenn...

    Meet the Aussie pensioner who became the world's oldest father at 92

    Sorry, but it's sickening. Not fair on the child and one really has to wonder why a young woman would sleep with any man whose old enough to be her great grandfather. What about her parents, her family and their thoughts on the matter with her sleeping not with an older man but a very old man...
