    Centrelink employees go on a 24-hour strike over pay negotiations

    I reckon we pensioners should go on strike to get a payment to meet our basic needs. That would make the government sit up! NOT!

    Video reveals chilling secrets inside an abandoned Woolworths supermarket—can you spot them?

    "no one has stepped foot in the building for many years" I notice that people are using "stepped foot" when the expression is "set foot". Another example of language being mangled, probably by American "English" where they use "alternate" instead of "alternative" I see that the mis-step has...

    Woolworths announces major offerings for Everyday Rewards members

    Why are these "specials" on the purchase of multiple items? When on a budget, it is not attractive to buy more than one item of a particular product. I really object to the supermarket ploy of "offering" a lower price if you buy 2 items when you only can use one so when I see that sort of...

    You'll never believe what this baffled Amazon shopper received instead of the $980 laptop they ordered!

    How is this a scam? I have used many online retailers, including Amazon, and when there's been a mistake I don't label it as a scam and approach the retailer for a remedy. So, can someone please explain why this error is a scam?

    JobSeeker base rate hike announced to address inflationary pressures

    Jim Charmless is also useless. The cost of living has risen out of all proportion under his watch and, typically, this Labor government makes loud noises about increases that won't cost the government huge amounts and don't provide relief to those in most need. I can't wait for Airbus Albo and...

    Does it matter if you sit or stand to pee? And what about peeing in the shower?

    I stand to pee, especially in the unhygenic public loos.

    Furious mum discovers mysterious 'yellow' mark in her kitchen that's baffling everyone!

    Counters are for shops and banks. Americans use the term for all bench- or work-tops including in the "bathroom". What are you going to count? It's the same as the use of backsplash instead of splashback. Let's not succumb to the ignorant!

    Qantas takes a nosedive on the world's best airlines ranking: What happened?

    "Qantas, however, believes that the survey's results don't entirely reflect their current standards." The survey is reflecting reality, Qantas! It's up to you to maintain your standards with your actions, deeds and service which you obviously haven't been.

    Important pension changes you need to know about starting July 1

    Well, whoop-de-doo! Increase limits so that people who already have more than full pensioners get an increase! This government has absolutely no f......g idea! Food and power costs are going through the roof along with rents to keep that roof over our heads so the cost of living is climbing...

    Are supermarkets pulling a fast one with 'sneaky' discount tactics?

    The other day, I had this as part of my comment: "In any case, Woolies (and the others, Coles etc) should be letting their shareholders hurt a little in these tough times where we are all hurting. I can't understand how their prices have risen out of all proportion except to make their massive...
