    Warning to drivers: This 'cool' trend could unexpectedly drain $300 from your wallet! Avoid it now!

    Sorry I was thinking you were next to the car. I know somebody who often bite one thumb nail sitting at the lights. I've seen women putting their make up on too (I wonder what it looked like), also a guy eating a bowl of food. It's easier to see if their passenger window is down too. I forgot...

    Is your bank account safe? Find out how you might unknowingly pay to save regional branches!

    A similar thing happened in a shopping centre in Adelaide suburbs. Westpac & Bank SA which is part of St. George Bank combined. The very stupid part is SA is also in an adjoining "shop". It is in a larger floor space too. Maybe it will close when its lease expires.

    ACCC awards Australia's number one internet provider of the year!

    Does Exetel have good coverage in all areas of Australia is it limited to a portion of some areas, even in capital cities. I know of one company that has a tower within 5 km of a house in the inner metro area but cannot be serviced by that particular provider

    This woman pays over $2,500 for doing this repeated act on popular holiday island

    There is a difference in the dog searching for its own food than being given food. The dingo would know the lady is feeding it. It is not a domesticated animal / pet. The woman already knew that it is illegal to feed dingoes.

    Controversy over Coles' use of 'Bovaer' in beef—what to know before your next meat purchase!

    We need to be told where Coles source their beef from. Possibly the same source used by Wholesale Meat suppliers. Which other supermarkets, butchers' shops buy from the same Meat Wholesaler. A lot of skincare products including baby wipes contain glycol.

    Attention Kmart shoppers: The 'cute' pet item everyone's talking about might have a major flaw!

    We put dog in a very old blue parka, sat her in the bird bath (it was empty) and took her photo and took it often again within a few seconds. It only covered part of her front legs and part of her body. We didn't do it up or anything. Apart from that everybody told us she was a spoilt dog

    Commonwealth Bank to ‘change its approach’ after facing backlash over new withdrawal fee

    Some banks query it if it is a large sum of money, especially if they suspect the person is being threatened in any way. I was politely questioned once when I withdraw a much higher amount than normal. I also had somebody with me. Together we were buying a large item

    Senior driver challenges court after facing $544 in fines

    If you waited until the road is clear you would never be able to turn at some corners. This was at traffic lights. Do we a lane and have turning lights as well and meaning there is more light sequences. Where I used to live there traffic lights that had a special sequence. I timed my wait time...

    Warning to drivers: This 'cool' trend could unexpectedly drain $300 from your wallet! Avoid it now!

    I agree that having a vehicle covered in lights like that is a distraction. Also only emergency / service vehicles are allowed to have lights on their roof. Also don't put tinsel on your bumper bars (easy on "commerical" vehicles. You can be fined for that too and told to remove it before you...

    Shocking Truth Revealed: How a Simple 7ft Garden Fence Nightmare Led to an Unbelievable Criminal Record!

    In Australia I think you have to have council approval to put up an original or replace a fence. Some council areas do not allow front fences at all. I know some people who planted rose bushes a metre apart to stop stray cricket balls hitting their house and other property. They keep a small...

    Shocking Video Reveals the Truth About Lizard Rights – See Why Cops Are Being Heckled!

    Why do people have to be so controversial? If you have children, aged people or pets would you want it wandering on your property with the risk of it or a resident being injured.
