    Is this an actual Australian Story??? Seems it has a lot of American terminology! If it is in fact an American story, then he should have said to the Neighbour, "Feeling Lucky punk? well are yah"

    Channel Nine reveals revamp to flagship show as new co-host and presenters revealed

    I don't care one bit. I gave up watching the commercial stations "Circus" that they pass off as news breakfast shows. I have been an ABC News Breakfast fan for 5 years. Not to say that they don't have their own issues, but when compared to the commercial offerings, IMO they are streaks ahead.

    surely a health body with an acronym of "Who" must be tempted to call themselves Doctor Who. Lol.

    Seven host Samantha Armytage makes shocking announcement after 21 years

    I may be in the minority, but I never liked Sam. It seemed to me that she pushed Melissa Doyle out of Sunrise, and then did the same to Nat on Farmer wants a wife. So glad that Nat is returning full time to Farmer. Just my opinion.

    Exposed: The Shocking Truth About a Corrupt Banker Inside Westpac!

    In my 25 years as a Bank Officer I saw many attempts at attempted fraud, but 99.9% of them did not end well for the offender. The Banks do have very tight controls and checks and balances, and used to have a large team of Internal Auditors, who were quite often the ones that caught out the...

    Australians outraged over this baffling Ikea car park feature – are you making the same mistake?

    Here we go again. A big company stuffing up, and when they do, they get their spin doctors to try and cover it all up with the crap IKEA has come out with "Ikea is committed to inclusivity and accessibility for customers and co-workers, and that they appreciate feedback that can help improve...

    Gold medallist shares alarming truth behind her fear of shopping at ALDI

    Sorry Liz, but you are pathetic. A former elite athlete and you can't cope with packing your own groceries. Obviously, Liz is not struggling with the cost of living as many Australians are. Guess what Liz, sometimes to save money you have to do some work. As an Aldi shopper, I know they are...

    Small business accuses Commbank of making cash ‘actively difficult’ to use

    You are spot on. The staff no longer even know how to count cash. They are there to sell, sell, sell. home loans, personal loans, credit cards. why? because they are all big profit makers. They don't care about us, unless we are making them profit.

    Small business accuses Commbank of making cash ‘actively difficult’ to use

    As an ex banker (25years working for them) I would swear on a bible that the banks' are behind trying to make us a cashless society as soon as possible. Just stop and think how much "No cash" adds to their profits. Reduced Insurance costs, reduced staff as no need to count or handle cash...

    This Kiwi's simple trick to distinguish the New Zealand accent from the Aussie will blow your mind!

    KIWIS and Aussies are pretty smart and can tell each other apart. But the Americans are easily confused. But then I have to listen carefully to determine a Canadian from an American.

    Why are Australians resisting cashless future despite digital payment bloom?

    Having worked in the Banking Sector for 25 years of my working life, I can state with authority that the banks and businesses would love to see the end of cash, because "IT SAVES THEM MONEY" in cutting their handling and insurance expenses. But when the Banks' wonderful cashless systems fail, as...

    Royal downfall? Sources reveal Prince Andrew's grim life post-controversy

    What a joke. What fantasy world does Andrew live in? If it had been any ordinary person that had done the things he is accused of, they would have already been in jail. He should think himself bloody lucky, get his head out of his own arse and come to the realisation that he is not important, he...

    'What's the deal?': Ruffled tradie questions hardware store’s pet policy

    I am not a Tradie, but I am a dog owner. However, I must agree with the tradies, Bunnings is not the place for dogs, unless it is an assistance dog. It is difficult enough to get around Bunnings with people wandering aimlessly around, and the dogs just add to that. I always make a list of what I...

    'They've outpriced us': Mum unearths $280 find at Salvation Army

    Yep in recent years The Salvos and Vinnies have gone from selling reasonably priced secondhand goods to ridiculously high prices. Some things like jewelry and other collectable items are now priced at market value, which is fair enough. However, generally, their stock is overpriced for what it...

    Several dog owners may face fines of up to $50,000 for encouraging rabid acts

    I live in South Australia, and this change is LONG OVERDUE. Our Golden retriever was attacked in a park at Murray Bridge two years ago and was lucky to survive. Our dog was on a leash and was attacked by an off leash pit-bull that charged her from 100 metres away. That dog then also attacked...

    ALDI's price prowess: Switching from Woolworths saves ‘small fortune’ for this Aussie shopper

    I was dead against ALDI, but my wife insisted and changed a couple of years ago, I had to eat my words. Massive savings if you are prepared to buy mainly no name brands. I have found that many of these brands you cannot tell from the name brands, and in fact are probably made by them. However...

    From the moon to memory lane: Iconic children’s show marks its 65th anniversary

    I watched Mr. Squiggle when Pat Lovell (Miss Pat) was the host. Of course, Pat Lovell went on to be a great Australian film producer (Picnic at Hanging Rock and Gallipoli). But I was fascinated by the way Mr. Squiggle could, in his drawings, produce something from almost nothing. And I loved...

    Shocking behaviour: See what this postie did to an unsuspecting man's lawn!

    We have recently had two Incidents with Australia post. The first was where we posted a fragile parcel which was clearly marked as such, and wrapped appropriately for the fragility of the item. It arrived at the other end broken and in a state which could only have been caused be severe...

    Woolworths admits to underpaying staff by over $1 million—are you affected by this oversight?

    I bet Senior Management, The CEO, and the Board weren't short changed. Why do Companies like Woolworths do this shit. For God Sake, they are making so much in profits from ripping off suppliers and consumers, that surely they don't have to rip off their young staff too. They can afford to have...
