    Australia is facing a 450,000-tonne mountain of used solar panels. Here’s how to turn it into a valuable asset

    We do need to also consider the life after use of these products. If they cant be recycled or reused then they are not as environmentally friendy as they are made out to be. But as the article mentioned, it is not as financially beneficial to the companies to reuse them.

    Woman calls it quits with her bank after being denied access to her own funds: 'What's the point of a bank?'

    I'm surprised she even found a branch open. They are closing down all around where I live. Wonder what these tellers do all day if they cant give out money. I took a damaged note to the bank and they refused to exchange it because it was damaged. I thought that was what they also did, take...

    Startling Discovery in ALDI Broccoli Bag

    Now seeking compensation for the trauma this caused him. What about the snake? It had to endure being stuck in with the broccoli and then transported all over the place. Pleeaase, just rant about it and let it go. No compensation is needed or warranted. No one's fault, just a weird thing to happen.

    Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey labelled 'sexual bully', accused of targeting male victims

    I always felt there was something creepy about him too, but not knowing him, and knowing he is an actor, it would seem he has a certain way about him. Now it appears he is a creep and doesnt think, even if he claims he cant remember, he has done anything wrong. A definite self centred man who...

    Discover how a TV reporter duped her colleague using cutting-edge AI voice technology

    Unfortunately when technology advances for the supposed good of the world, so do the scum who will use it to fleece us of our hard earned money. And often our confidence and faith in humanity. I dont really understand why we need to go down this technology path. In medicine or manufacturing...

    Is your car on this list? Urgent recall alert for Toyota, Land Rover, Jeep, Genesis, Ford Ranger and Everest owners!

    Why is there so much of this happening? Is the workforce so under trained or are we relying too heavily on robot workforce? This needs to be improved before a tragedy happens and we need these big companies to take things seriously.

    Beyond the price tag: Understanding the dramatic price differences between Woolies and The Reject Shop

    How long before the powers that be crack down on this parallel import fiasco and change the rules so that The Reject Shop will not be able to compete in this way with the big guys. If you are careful, these products are just as good as the others.

    Breaking: Wade Robson's impending court battle with Michael Jackson's estate

    These poor boys, allegedly abused by Jackson, need to heal. I dont believe making headlines again is doing this for them. It is just keeping their wounds open. Perhaps it is compensation they are after, but I believe it is closure rather than money that will do the most for them.

    Revealed: Why KFC is refusing to raise prices like other businesses

    I doubt they are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, but more in the knowledge that fast food is the first thing people stop buying when times are tough. If they sound generous, then they are appealing to those who think this is a good thing. Good on them though for not gouging...

    Revealed: How Australia's biggest ever tax fraud scam went down

    Their greed was eventually their undoing. It never pays to get to full of your own importance. What a waste of some very intelligent people. Money was definitely the root of their evil and they are paying the ultimate price, hopefully.

    Twisties set to release exciting new flavour: ‘Unlike any chip you've tried before’

    This is why the ever faithful fantail is disappearing. (I'm not thinking about the aging machinery here though.) These companies are trying too hard to offer different flavours. Stick with what most people love and leave the cinnamon flavour to the doughnuts.

    New odometer check cracks down on shady car dealers

    Why do we still have a situation where each state has its own regulations. We are one country and this should be the same in every state. We need national regulations on these matters.

    Not sure you could ever insure yourself against idiots who drive into your home, but having insurance definitely gives you peace of mind if the worst does happen. Well done Suzanne Rose, your insurance was a winner.

    Can you believe the amount of fresh produce Aussie supermarkets are rejecting? Find out why!

    Unfortunately in the 'need to be perfect' world, even the fruit and veggies are included. It is our attitudes to the look of things that has caused this. We are only now starting to realise that it doesnt matter what it looks like, as long as it is fresh and good quality. But like taking your...
