    Horrific Bali incident leaves Aussies battered and facing $65,000 in medical bills

    No sympathy whatsoever, anyone that can afford to travel overseas needs to be prepared to pay for insurance, otherwise don't go.

    ALDI vs. Coles: Customer shares shocking price difference between two major supermarkets

    Media executive warns of Meta decision’s ‘devastating impact’ on Aussies

    What a literal crock of s#!t, anyone that gets their 'news' from ANY social media site is not getting anything other than an opinion. Not any different to those that watch Skynews (or most commercial) TV news. They all have too great a vested interest in providing actual news, but their one...

    Coles shopper makes shocking discovery: 'It’s just nasty'

    It's a moist (refrigerated) area with 'fluids/condensation' from meat packaging etc, what would you expect. Every Coles or Woolies that I've been into has staff wiping down meat shelves on most occasions that I've been into a store. Tell someone, if nothing is done then, vent your 'outrage' on...
