    Teen's wild ride: How a display car ended up crashing inside a shopping mall!

    It's a 1 day divisive event, that when I was a teenager was recognised as Sydney's birthday bash and that was all. Firework on the harbor and very little recognition in any other state. Ramadam is a 1 month long festival, why would you not expect a business that is in the retail sector to...

    Teen's wild ride: How a display car ended up crashing inside a shopping mall!

    It's a COMMERCIAL retailer (originally a Jewish business man). WTF does any religion have to do with this? For Fu@# sake, what has this country come to. Racism in this country it up there with the worst of them.

    Alan Jones returns to Australia and speaks out: ‘My work has been my life’

    This classic dirty old man. Depending on which state you live in, the coverage of his 'escapades' over the years are well document. However, in NSW they were kept out of the rags of the Murdoch press. Well published arrest in a London toilet when this scum was the coach of the Aust Rugby...

    Are you missing out on Rent Assistance? Here’s how to check if you’re eligible

    and the tax they pay contributes to the welfare state. Most people are of their own destiny. Assuming you have been working for the last 30+ years, you would also have earnt a proportional income to these 'fat cats' and as such had a super contribution made by your employers. But, if like so...

    Shoppers demand this Coles checkout change right away: ‘Makes so much sense’

    Many do, but it's not exactly fool proof, people know how to get the trolley (including Aldi) without a coin. Then abandon where they choose, often in the street that they reside in. The wheel lock combined with the coin would be a more sensible option, can't take outside the boundary of the...

    Shoppers demand this Coles checkout change right away: ‘Makes so much sense’

    so you read the article? 'The trial, which began in Tasmanian stores and a select few in Victoria and Western Australia' strangely, I don't see anywhere that SA was EVERY mentioned. Also, why ask a question of Coles on here? GO TO THEIR WEBSITE.

    BIG W item sparks ink-redible controversy among shoppers

    This is a cut and paste story from another site. Interestingly the vital part of the story is left off. Big W was forced to remove from sale (only available on line) over a week ago by the regulator authority with further actions to be pursued against the retailer. Not that this site is...

    then how would the millennials be able to blame the boomers over their smashed avocado on toast with a coffee ($25) for their inability to get a housing loan?

    Hate parking headaches? State government axes controversial parking measure

    Local councils have no recognition under the constitution, it's the State govt that introduces the laws that LGA administer. No point talking to 95% of them, only the one that represents the ward you are registered in needs to listen. Vast majority of councilors use local govt as a stepping...

    ‘Standards are down’: Coles new security feature concerns shoppers

    You may want to read the financial, revenue isn't profit, the figure you are stating was not profit, the profit (6 monthly) was $580 million (not billions). That equates to about a 5% return. Most superannuation funds hold shares in these companies, so if people want to see an 8% annual...

    Rotten behaviour: Woolworths shoppers peel back on purchases after disgusting act in the fruit aisle

    Maybe take up their challenge of 'satisfaction or money back'. Avocados are the most over handled product in all stores, watch people pick them up, squeeze the hell out of them and then put back. Possibly because a dozen other consumers have done this very thing, squeezed and subsequently...

    Shocking Easter egg surprise by Woolworths workers leaves shopper speechless

    Nice, but just imagine the person behind them or that just went through when they don't get the same. Be funny to see it happen and if that recipient also had their bags branded with Coles or Aldi. As this site seems to indicate everyone goes from 1 major to the next to buy the specials.

    ‘Is this correct?’: Coles clarifies ‘free’ scanning policy loophole

    It's not just Coles, it's an industry standard that applies to ALL retail association members (pretty much all the big boys of retail). The code says, the first is free and the remainder are at the correct ticketed price.

    BIG W item sparks ink-redible controversy among shoppers

    More likely it was a concept and design from a Western consumer based business (probably the US) and is ONLY manufactured in China as that's the monster the West created with the obsession of cheap manufactured products. There is very little that originates out of China, it's predominately a...

    Hate parking headaches? State government axes controversial parking measure

    What idiot govt (looking at you Gladys) would create an very clear and evident form of bureaucratic nightmare. Most people that (potentially) over stayed the time allocation, would just think they dodge a bullet. Will point out, as it only applied to NSW it was a very NSW centric story (as...

    Detail spotted in ALDI bread sparks debate

    Clearly I went to a different school of thought. Apart from the 2 items are different branded 'Turkish Bread' pack. 1 is a pack of 3 & the other a pack of 4. At the very least compare apples with apples. Appreciate there are plenty on this site that think all Asians are Chinese & all black...

    Talk about a wake-up call! Breakfast prices leave customer iced with disbelief

    Can only assume there were no prices on the menu, or they just sat down, 'we'll have 2 xyz with extra blah blah blah'. The old adage, if you have to ask, you can't afford. Now it seems, just vent your spleen on social media and get the standard replies of 'your were robbed, name them, etc...

    Feel the warmth of Olivia Newton-John's legacy through her family's heartfelt tribute

    'There are talks of other cities, and they will be announced really soon, but they’re still signing off on things, but there will definitely be some more shows,' Goldsmith revealed. The chaos that Taylor caused in both Syd & Melb, just imagine the smallest mainland capital trying to host 95k+...
