    A nightclub’s bizarre new rule has Aussies sharing their… love stories?

    I hope the intent of this rule is that if someone, male or female, is constantly staring at you and creeping you out, then there is a case to answer. Otherwise implementation of this rule is fraught with problems.

    Aussie bullied online for criticising a racy advert – which side are YOU on?

    I don't agree with the woman. My view is that private parts being visible is not OK for young kids. However, underwear or "sexy" nightwear is OK. Beaches, swimming pools and TV has just as much revealing wear as the store ads I have seen. Perception is very individual, so she can complain all...

    Caught on camera: Shocking moment Woolworths shopper is punched in the face for a simple mistake

    I agree with you Baz1960. A bit of respect and understanding are so important. Sometimes all of us are rushing but we have to deal with it. Sad to see a few people who resort to violence as the first step rather than and absolute self defence last resort. In fact if I ever have two or three...

    'Cash stuffing' is the old-school money tactic that could save you thousands. Here's how it works

    Money Management is one of the most critical things to do as one approaches retirement or is retired. Actually it is applicable through out life. I used a somewhat different approach. I have been tracking our expenses for the past 25 years. It provides us with real figures applicable to us, not...

    Aussie woman shares 'horrifying' story of being detained by US border force

    I travelled to USA in 1991 on behalf of the company I was working for at that time. It was a conference I attended and then I was scheduled to stay back for 2 more weeks working with my American colleagues. It was an American company I was working for. When I had passed immigration and walking...

    Aussies beware! This list of 'cons' about living in Australia is going viral - are the claims true?

    Winter Season. Yes ,we do have a winter in a lot of areas in Australia but some of these cities have winter activities. And we do go out in winter to clubs, pubs, cafes and restaurants. The cafes have outdoor heaters which are quite OK. And between 11AM and 2PM we can get out for a BBQ in a park...

    Aussies share nightmare-ish stories about doctor fees amid bulk-billing crisis

    Hi Nomad48au, Thanks for stating it very well. In my experience, when I found a good GP, I stuck to him. I have been visiting his practice for the past 22 years. He charges $100 per visit and I am OK with paying that as my health is extremely important to me. Without my health I have very...

    Aussies share nightmare-ish stories about doctor fees amid bulk-billing crisis

    Perhaps there is some misunderstanding about how much bulk billing GPs earn. 1. A GPs clinic only gets approximately $37.50 per patient. The clinic does not give this amount to the GP. GPs get 50-60% of that since the clinic has to pay for rent of the place, receptionist etc. 2. A bulk billing...

    You are absolutely correct. My fault or lack of understanding of the herd mentality of cars.:)

    Disappointed neighbour leaves 'passive-aggressive' note for driver parked in two spots

    I park as centrally within the space as I can. I often note that people don't park correctly. Either they are just on the line or so close to it that you are forced to park your car away from them. I have often commented that why can't these people park in the middle of the parking spot...

    The unexpected reason why shoppers willing to spend extra money on groceries

    We get them for our grandkids but don't spend anything extra to get them. We spend what we need to and get these collectibles when they offer it to us. Grandkids love them.
