    Aussie brands are being sold to overseas companies at an alarming rate - find out why

    Australia has always been revenue poor. England, USA, Japan and South Africa have historically invested in mines here. Aussies spend their money on overseas holidays. Now China is replacing the USA and European investor. Your superfund invests overseas. I have a choice not to buy products from...

    Woolworths customers are fuming over this 'constant' issue – do you agree?

    Perhaps we should all just walk out the stores with our trolleys full. If asked you could respond with “ I thought you didn’t want my money as there was no one there to collect it!”

    Shopper's 'annoying' discovery leads to a heated confrontation with retail workers

    Reminds me of Franklins 48 years ago. Cheapest store but you to remember what shelf to find stuff as they were hidden behind trolleys.

    Shopper's 'annoying' discovery leads to a heated confrontation with retail workers

    I thought one of Woolworths excuses was that there was a staff shortage. There certainly is a shortage of unskilled labour in Australia so no one should be unemployed.

    Shopper's 'annoying' discovery leads to a heated confrontation with retail workers

    Perhaps the supermarkets should price the goods on the trolleys. Then they could do away with the shelves. Just roll the trolley into the Pty space. They good retrench the workers used to place stuff on the shelves. Productivity could increase as there wouldn’t be so much double handling. The...

    NSW police officer intentionally hiding on busy road fines speeding drivers — sneaky or justified?

    I don’t believe there should be speed limits at schools period. The money spent on this process was enormous. The cost to the economy of slowing down traffic should be considered. If the savings were spent on hospital infrastructure and treatments many lives could be saved. The speed limits...

    Australia’s parking problem: Frustration mounts as illegal parking takes over suburbs

    I don’t understand the need for that many cars. If it costs $10k plus per year to own a car, Uber, Didi etc are attractive propositions. If you need one for a holiday then hire a car.

    Australia’s parking problem: Frustration mounts as illegal parking takes over suburbs

    I have been told if photograph culprits and present evidence to the authorities nothing will be followed up! The same goes for vehicles going through red traffic lights. I was hoping to become the traffic vigilante as I am sick of vehicles going through red lights at an intersection near a...

    Where should you keep your tomato sauce? Doctor settles the debate once and for all

    Funny I worked in a food research facility where milk was made to go off. That’s how you get yogurt, quark, cheese… inoculate milk with bacteria and you get good healthy products. Beware home yogurt makers. If you inoculate with your own yogurt you can get very sick. In every inoculation certain...

    This new restaurant 'trend' is driving diners crazy - do you think we should stop this?

    I would refuse to pay the bill and walk out of the restaurant. Let them do the worrying. If I had the cash I would pay the original amount then leave a scathing report on social media. Tips are paid in America because the wages are so low. They are not low here or in Japan. I feel no conscience...

    A Global Recession Looks Increasingly Likely – But Here’s How Australia Could Escape It

    The warning signs have been around in financial circles for a long time. If one studies the history of the previous pandemic you will see this occurs. A depression eventually came.

    I hope you don’t buy Aero chocolate, that’s full of air and the same price as a bar.

    Where should you keep your tomato sauce? Doctor settles the debate once and for all

    All will allow moulds to grow on the surface even in the fridge. Tomato sauce has 27% sugar, so make your own. Look out for the low sugar, low salt varieties. There has been the alert about peanut butter NOT made from. Australian sourced peanuts already. Chocolate doesn’t normally last long...

    Shoppers accuse Coles of increasing prices of milk, then marking it down to look like a bargain - here’s the full story

    YAHOO. You Always Have Other Options. Don’t buy the milk! I never look at the savings just the actual price. Mugs only get taken in by this practice. It’s the same as the process of prices ending in 99c. If the rounded up price looks bad don’t buy. Also anything advertised unsolicited to me by...

    Is your 'Australian-Made' peanut butter really Australian-made?

    Misleading advertising in Australia is criminal. Folks where English is a 2nd language have no chance. Companies can buy the heart tick. The words healthy are used for sugar filled carbohydrates. Stevia and monk fruit promoted as low sugar but are full of refined carbohydrates like...
