    Trusted family friend turns into a brutal attacker—‘I had no idea what’s going on’

    Do the crime do the time, end of story. It appears the excuse these days is "Oh he/she has a mental problem" so we can't put them in jail.

    Is your wallet about to become obsolete? Discover when Australia plans to go completely cashless

    It will never happen. I cannot see a cashless society ever occurring because the government will step in to help those who want cash whenever they need or require it. Other countries are returning to cash now so I cannot see Australia going it alone.
