    Aged care workers are quitting en masse after having their hours slashed

    The Aged care facilities, ie Estia, and worse of all Arcare which claims to have a 5-star rating to con people into thinking they are going to get the best care because it is 5star are dreaming. There is NO rating in aged care & if there was Arcare would not be getting 5 stars I can guarantee...

    This ‘Dennis the Menace’ tested his parents' nerves with his skill tester feat!

    Luckily kids that age have very flexible bones and the child was able to get out the way he got in. As for taking your eyes of kids in a crowded place, I wouldn't and they would have boundaries, like the end of the chairs or up to the stage,but just leaving a 2 year old loose, well that's just...

    This presenter is said to be Kochie's replacement on Sunrise. Do you agree?

    Woolworths shopper warns others after discovering gross meat 'trick'

    I buy from a butcher, they are true to the customer, they cut off excess fat and leave it on if someone who likes the fat can be satisfied as well. Short loin chops are very expensive as the meat is the tenderest part of the sheep. I'd prefer meat over fat or bone.

    Poll: Do you think the sentiment of respecting your elders has been lost on the new generation?

    I'm not sure if you would call it "sentiment" because bringing up children today means parents have lost the ability to have rules in their home. They are undermined every which way they go from school to workplaces. Most of it is negative input and I do find in small communities' manners still...

    Aussie commuter furious over $277 myki fine – does the fine really match the offence?

    Many pensioners would like a day out, just to go to the end of the line on a train or bus. I take my elderly neighbour out for a drive and a drive through Maccas icecream. You'd think she had won lotto. She just loves to get out but because of property prices her house which she built in 1958 is...
