    AIBU 02.09.2024

    You have a charity which helps people with little or no options. This lady sounds like she does have options and financial assets which many people do not have this luxury. If this lady has a flat, which she inherited and has income from that flat. While I sympathize with what happened to her...

    Tax season trap: How to spot and avoid latest phishing scams

    I never click any links provided in emails. Unless I have specifically requested information from a trusted site then I take every email with suspicion. Always look at the email address and compare it with a known trusted email address. Any deviations from the trusted email address are a red...

    Struggling with parking fines? This Aussie driver's desperate plea to a parking ranger might just be your story too!

    I think if you can prove that you are waiting for an updated parking permit, then they should waver any fines incurred. This is nothing more than bureaucratic bully tactics. There must be some sort of interim notice that can be obtained through a government authority and displayed on a vehicle...

    Single Mom Devastated: How Three Simple Words from a Landlord Shattered Her Heart in Melbourne

    How do you prove discrimination? Landlord' will always come up with a legitimate excuse for any decisions they make. It is your word against theirs, and unless you have video evidence of them being slanderous towards a would-be tenant.

    Most misunderstood road rule revealed: Mastering this can save you $227

    I find this article amusing I have video footage from a few years ago of a Police car, NO Sirens or Lights exiting a roundabout with NO Indicators. I posted it on You tube shortly after the incident and I have never had one message from the police regarding my post or the consequences for the...

    I agree the media coverage is a little disproportionate to say the least.

    Coast Guard recovers bodies from superyacht wreckage, including tech CEO

    Unsinkable now where have I heard that before, Titanic rings a bell. If your boat, yacht or ship has not got enough buoyancy, when filled with water to float unaided, then it is going to sink if it is ever filled with water.

    Ticket to nowhere: Aussie mum faces fines for driving offences despite not having licence

    You cannot make this stuff up, what ridiculous charges when it is clear that this lady is not the driver. Perhaps she should sue the police and fines department for all of the distress these allegations have caused and not doing their job correctly and investigating the claims that these drivers...

    Suburban Shock: A Palm Frond Dispute Escalates into a Terrifying Axe Battle – Are You Safe?

    In Queensland if you cut a branch off a Neighbours tree then the branch is till the property of your Neighbour. Fruit trees for instance, just because a branch full of fruit is hanging over your side of the fence it is not yours to take, just because you cut it off at the fence line.

    'Get a life': Shopper shares disappointing act at a local shopping centre

    I think the issue is, if you are going to park your vehicle then at least park it straight. If you park on an angle during your driving test (curb parking) when you are going for your license, you will fail your test. It is more about proving your competence and driving skills, and not parking...

    Petrol prices set to increase over the weekend in major areas

    How can petrol outlets justify these sudden unjustified charges. Fuel providers should be held accountable and forced to justify fuel price fluctuations and hikes. These price hikes are nothing more that profiteering.

    Neighbors' Lottery Dream Turns Nightmare: The $5 Million Battle That Could Happen to You!

    I think that this sort of betting syndicate should require that all participants sign a declaration that proves they are participating in the event. Signature could be collected when the money is deposited for each game. This would eliminate any problems with those who do not pay or walkout only...

    New Crime Wave Exposed by Plumber Threatens Your Home—Here's What You Need to Know!

    I think that the scrap dealers could be forced by the government to bring in regulations that force a scrap seller to divulge where the scrap metal came from and ensure they are the owners including photo ID, license number etc . The police could then quickly follow-up on discrepancies if any...
