    Molly Meldrum's latest incident leaves fans shocked and concerned – his family insists he has a ‘dedicated support system in place’

    His current behaviour is what he will become known for. He has done so much for the Australian music industry and it would be so sad to see it all dissolve because he, or those around him, cant control his actions. There would be signs from him that those close to him should pick up on when he...

    What lurks above Kmart's toy aisles? The 'hidden' discovery you need to see

    Not ok. And riding the bikes and playing with the balls also. These stores are not a playground and should not be treated as such.

    Do you do this too? An ALDI worker reveals the customer habit that leaves them shocked!

    I dont like it. Checking grapes, perhaps. But I find giving kids yoghurts to eat annoying. It teaches the child that they are allowed to do this and if they cant wait till they get in the car, or home, then snacks should be brought from home to satisfy their desperate need for food. It is an...

    Flight attendant faces outrageous treatment from 'drunk' sports fans mid-flight

    I think there are some young women these days who would do the same thing. It is just about disrespecting someone, not really about their gender. Being drunk is not an excuse, but they were not physically abusive. It would be nice if these behaviours didnt happen, but the world is a long way...

    Dingo mauls toddler in national park

    Dingoes are wild animals. they are not domesticated dogs. A small child would see them as a dog so it is up to the parent to be aware. Kids get away from you quickly so it is hard at times to do that, but safety in remote areas should be the main thought. I dont see killing this animal as the...

    A small detail in this Coles photo has customers fuming: 'Happens every day'

    Harking back on my supermarket days, it was and obviously still is a massive problem. Food wastage is a nightmare. But expecting overworked workers to spot these products before they are ruined is an impossible mission. I did the closing shift three nights a week and was often on my own for...

    This much-loved Aussie treat just got a lot more expensive at Coles and Woolies!

    It is the world we live in unfortunately. Things are definitely getting more expensive, and smaller in size. But we should remember also that wages are a lot higher than they were years ago too. It is all relatively really.

    Save big money on your next purchase: Aussie retail worker reveals the five ‘magic’ words you need to use

    It never hurts to ask. Someone saying 'NO, I cant", will not hurt you and you may be surprised by the result.

    Shocking Scam Alert: Fake Death Announcement of Sunrise Host David Koch Used to Lure Victims into Cryptocurrency Scam!

    Why are people still not seeing the red flags. I never trust or respond to advertisements these days as I assume they are all scams. If I find one that is interesting, I will try and find the original advertiser and go from there. But I seriously doubt that in this time of multiple scams...

    Say Goodbye to Third Party Debt Collectors: Centrelink Takes Control with Major Overhaul!

    Badly handled and executed. A third party should never have been appointed and a more thorough check should have been done before these letters were sent out. I too am lucky I never had this stress. I feel for those who do.

    ‘A true blue Australian’: Woman discovers her neighbour's ‘capsule wardrobe’ — and it's too good not to share!

    I dont care he wears the same thing, it does make the decision of what to wear easier. I am impressed how neatly he hung out the washing. Easy to fold and put away as well.

    Woolworths goes green: Say goodbye to 15c plastic bags in ALL stores nationwide!

    It will never please a small percentage of the shopping public, as they do not want to be told, or be expected to bring bags. It is not that hard to remember your own bags, and if you do forget, put everyting in the trolley and take it to your car. I'm sure there is a way to get your groceries...

    Unpacking the issue: Supermarkets under fire for excessive plastic packaging

    I dont like all the packaaging on these fruit and veggies, but I would prefer to try and deal with plastic than the many unwashed hands, some from littlies checking everything out, that touch these products constantly. I have worked in a supermarket and I have seen first hand what some people...

    At 79, Geoff came out of retirement for an unexpected reason

    It is true we have all paid taxes in some form during our working lives. However, and I am on a pension, I dont feel it is the government's responsibility to give us a handout. I was a stay at home mum, with a mechanic husband, so our lives were not extravagant. I did return to work once my...

    Karl Stefanovic's shocking brush with the law: What led to the Today Show host receiving an 'adult caution'?

    Maybe not relevant to you, but it is a good way to stay informed on lots of topics. I know I have learnt a lot of different things since I have been getting SDC emails. Maybe not all relevant to me but definitely to the wider world. I want to know what is going on and not just in a world of...

    ‘Luxe for Less’: This $25 Candle from Woolworths is a Dupe for a $55 Luxury Product!

    Not a fan of candles for smell. And really dont like frangrances in my home either. I find them rather sickly and never seem to last. Handy if there is a blackout though, but not for $25.

    Rising costs got you worried? Coles is offering better value with its latest price freeze program!

    Dropped and locked prices are all well and good, but some of these goods now no longer go on special. So you never get them at half price so you can stock up during that time. So even though it is good to know they are not going up in price, they are also not coming down either.

    Oven-baked Creamy Chicken Risotto

    Thanks again Sethia for another delicious sounding recipe. I have again started to cook as I prefer simple but tasy meals and I think I can manage these recipes. I dont like cooking.
