    Heads up! A huge change is in store for Centrelink recipients

    I couldn't agree more. Our tax payer money is being squandered on other ethnic people when it should be spent on maybe more housing for the disadvantaged. If this guy wants one or a dozen wives, he should be paid for one. In Australia it is called bigamy to marry more than one wife. You've got...

    Heads up! A huge change is in store for Centrelink recipients

    If they are on this welfare payment the money they get is the taxpayers money, and it is the taxpayers who can dictate how they spend it. My boss doesn't just hand over $400 a week to me for nothing. he takes money out of what I have worked for and gives it to the government. maybe get your...

    Abandoned retirement village to be converted into social housing

    Its a great idea, they will be small 1 bedroom units, but there is a long list of older woman living on the streets, in cars and at shelters that would be happy just to have a roof over their heads. It will take time to see if they can form a community or if become a cesspool of derelicts who...

    Did this Coles shopper take it too far? Other shoppers were outraged

    He would have been better to go to the service counter and ask for the manager. All those items will be classed as spoilt, thrown out and just a waste.

    ALDI shoppers furious over new checkouts – are they too noisy?

    Some of the self-serve checkouts are so small people in wheelchairs can't get to them because they overlap into the one next door. Obviously, ALDI only wants to cater to the majority, and, not to the elderly or disabled who spend a lot less than the mid years workers.

    ALDI shoppers furious over new checkouts – are they too noisy?

    Self service might be OK for some but if you only have 12 items or less our Woolies has a fast lane. I always use the manned checkouts. If you note the ages of the people they are usually young teenagers working while at school , or much older woman whose children have grown up. This is a large...

    Ever use Facebook marketplace? Don’t fall for scammers promising cash through couriers!

    Carsales.com is untrustworthy. I paid $600 for them to find me a car. I was only shown one car over 5 weeks, when I needed one straight away. I got another one by a friend so asked carsales.com to refund my money. They refused and 2 days later I was bombarded with cars, not even the type or cost...

    Drab bathroom gets a stunning makeover with help from Kmart

    I'm not sure the wording is right when you say " a few simple changes..... the cost of a new vanity and the cost of the plumber to uninstall the old one and put the new one in. The cost of tiling and a tiler. It certainly is a great reno though

    Sausage Sizzle Showdown: War of words inside Bunnings carpark

    It seems everyone is in a hurry; manners get thrown out the window. The sausage sizzle guy for being so rude as to stop traffic, and the other driver who was irate because he couldn't move. People need to learn to chill out a bit more.If both behave like that on the road, then accidents will happen

    Cleaning your house doesn't have to be expensive! Get it done in under $4 with this Coles product

    Not for me, they are just like baby wipes and will be another piece of junk to fill the bin and ultimately the dump. If flushed down the toilet they become a hazard at the waste management where these clog the outlets, give me a spray bottle full of vinegar and a bit of elbow grease and I would...
