    CommBank commotion: Customer’s online banking ordeal raises alarm

    I wonder if the person who has reported this problem has had a computer update. I find that whenever Microsoft do updates they turn off the numbers lock key so when I type in numbers for logging in it says wrong password. I am no typist but manage by watching the letters and numbers on the...

    I LOVE dogs but do not agree with them traveling in the cabin unless they are a service dog such as for a blind person. Once this starts everyone will say they are necessary as an assistant dog. No way do I want to travel with animals on planes. We have always had ours in kennels or a family...

    Robert Irwin shares heartbreaking impact of losing dad, Steve

    We lost our youngest son and he was married with two young daughters which to me was the most saddest thing for them . He had waited a long time for children and loved them so much as we all did. Many families go through all this sad trauma and do not normally publicly talk about this.
