    Two police shot dead ‘execution-style’ in horrific ambush; suspects killed in shoot-out: ‘A tragedy on so many levels’

    My heart goes out to those families on this very tragic day. Even though not related to them I have been teary all day. My daughter had 2 deployments to the Middle East Confict in 20019 & 2020 and I was always fearful of a RAAF personnel coming to my door with bad news.I cannot imagine the grief...

    Residents frustrated by ongoing battle with dirty water

    Sounds like Mount Morgan Qld, they were in the same boat until water was trucked in for the whole town from Rockhampton because residents were getting sick. Places like Wowan Qld make you pay rates for water because it goes past your doorstep, yet it is so full of trace elements it eats hot...

    How does your favourite fruit mince pie rate? Experts weigh in

    This year Woolworths didn't have the great 6 pack of fruit mince pies from an unknown brand which would have gotten the nod, instead they have the very crumbly Woolies own brand, they are awful.

    I'm with Great Southern Bank and I was on a station in Melbourne when I felt thirsty and had 15 minutes to wait for my train. I thought I'd get a coke from a vending machine, but it only took a card so I used mine. Whilst I was on the train I got a text message to say had I used my card for...

    The new Pension Work Bonus rule is taking effect today

    The suggestion that all people can return to work after retirement age is wrong, there are many who are too unwell to do it and employers won't. I am lucky in I have been with my employer for 13 years and they are able to give me one or 2 shifts a week, but if I applied to this same company...

    Your Say Sunday Poll: What's one thing you wish you had more of?

    That is so true, and as I look down the road of decay and old age making living very difficult, I do wish for health. Especially when I see friends of the same age out playing golf & tennis, swimming and walking. I can only wish for health

    Ex-MasterChef Judge George Calombaris opened up about his drinking problem and unpaid wage scandal

    He was living the high life, whilst the people on the lowest wage were being ripped off. I have no sympathy for a thief who cries poor. He also shows the public that behind the scenes he was drinking, poor man, probably $150 a bottle, nope no sympathy here.

    ‘I thought it was a joke at first.’ American expat shocked by ‘normal’ Australian behaviour

    Talking about expats, isnt it strange that Keith Urban sings with an American twang now, he once was the all Australian singer. He doesn't speak with an American voice......is it because he wants to be known in the USA as one of their singers, he could tone it down when back in Australia but no...

This has been told...

    Teens take off for Schoolies, and this flight attendant reveals the gross reality of their behaviour

    Nothing can be done because if the kids are bought up this way by their parents, it's been going on since they were born. I saw a clip on FB where a 3 year old was swearing at every second worked watched by the parents who laughed and put it on FB. How can this child ever grow up as a self...
