    Court documents allege AGL on receiving $700,000 more from welfare payments

    Not their responsibility. The welfare recipient is responsible for setting up the payment. As a previous owner of a rental property that was leased to a single parent, I know first hand how quickly they cancel the centrepay arrangements and the receiver of payments gets no notification...

    Woolworths’ decision on iconic ANZAC Day tradition leaves veterans outraged: ‘It’s common courtesy’

    Would say it's more to do with the lack of actual sales in the past years. More money would be raised by the selling of the badges, cost around .15c each to make, sold by volunteers or through the pop up presence instore at no cost. Whereas, the most likely return on a tin of biscuits (tin...

    Banks urge social media companies to amp up protection as scammers become more patient

    Not so sure about the rarity of scams. A fool and his/her money isn't a new saying. (even reference in the bible). Many a bridge has been sold over the years past. :)

    ALDI shakes up Special Buys with surprising collection launch

    Much the same, avoid labels that are on the outside of any garment. Just free billboard for a retailer, maybe if they gave them out with a purchase over $xyz of purchases, I may think of it more favourably.

    Banks urge social media companies to amp up protection as scammers become more patient

    The 'weak link' is the idiots that think an anonymous message from a total stranger on social media is genuine. How many times do people need to be told the old adage: If it seems too good to be true, it isn't. Most 'victims' of scams are their own architechs of their own destiny.

    ‘Never had reduction like this’: Coles shopper bags $160 worth of groceries for $8!

    Some of it will be only worthwhile if frozen, not too sure how croissants freeze. Otherwise, nothing special about this. More likely the foodbank operations in the area weren't collect and someone just thought mark em down and run an inhouse sweep as to how long before someone takes to post on...

    American tourist documents ‘cool things’ seen in Australia—the first one will surprise you!

    Before Walmart & Amazon killed bricks and mortar retail in the US, Kmart was a large retailer in the US and still operates an online retail presence I'm not too sure what her issue with the pronunciation. The Australian stores are just in name Kmart, they're operated & 100% owned by Wesfarmers.

    Algorithms are pushing AI-generated falsehoods at an alarming rate. How do we stop this?

    Can you tell us how a country that follows the trends of the world do 'anything'? The genie is out of the bottle and just not possible for a country with the clout of Australia to do anything. Has been documented for a couple of years that AI will result in the internet being full of more...

    Homeowners stung with a six-figure bill as pests make a costly meal out of their property!

    Why the question mark? Vast majority of home owners in the major capital cities live in million dollar homes and a large portion are $2mil +. Maybe asset rich but cash poor, but still the property is a million dollar nest.

    Save big in 2024: These energy tips could slash your bills by at least $1,100

    I'm guessing they must be swiping the candles when they drop into the local church. Candles would cost far more than the cost of an LED light running. LED lights use next to nothing in power. The idiot box would be the power user.

    Why and how often do I need to wash makeup brushes and sponges?

    Next you're going to tell me the face washer I used to clean my a$&e in the shower can't be used by the partner to wash their face. What a load of b#$hit.

    Cruise employee reveals shocking passenger behaviour

    the excessive chlorination of pools will kill any potential issues. All cruises have some form of gastro outbreak and subsequently that entire deck is put into lockdown and sealed to decontaminate. Given the average age of a cruise is around 80 wouldn't take too much to knock off a few. Every...

    Cruise employee reveals shocking passenger behaviour

    Who care, a cruise is aimed at a certain type of traveller, barefooted is just the start. Never have I ever heard that the titanic isn't mention on a ship. This is clearly just some 'influencer' trying to find some mileage from their post. Googled it out of curiosity and low and behold, then...
