    Horror at Kmart: 6-year-old girl suffers serious eye injury after shopping accident

    Quite right. So many parents expect teachers and shop assistants and bus drivers and swimming instructors and tram drivers, you name it, to do what they should be doing. Teach, train and look after their own children to accept responsibility for their actions. They don't in many cases and...

    Horror at Kmart: 6-year-old girl suffers serious eye injury after shopping accident

    Quoting from the article, "Children are naturally curious and active. Giving them the space to move and discover the world around them is important, but we must also be vigilant and take every precaution to protect them from potential dangers. For parents, grandparents, and caregivers, teaching...

    This little-known road rule could cost you a $600 fine

    If you have one hand on the steering wheel in a rural area with maybe minor traffic on the road and you are still n control of your vehicle then go for it. If you are in 'going home time' rush hour traffic and are eating a late lunch bun/roll/sandwich/cake requiring your attention then pull over...

    Do you do any of these things at the checkout? A Coles cashier shares the most frustrating customer habits

    I had the Tap-and-go facility removed from my card for security reasons. If I lost it, or left it somewhere and anybody found it and used it I would have no recompense. Otherwise I agree cashiers have an awful job out there and sometimes the 'snash' they have to put up with is just...

    Harvey Norman among Aussies’ ‘most distrusted’ brands, poll shows

    Harvey Norman was wrong to accept the job seeker payments from the government because they still used the staff in other operations. Paying some of it back will not improve the shine on their non-existent halos. Their advertising of double spread pages and inserted suppliments in the press is...

    Driver draws flak online for 'selfish' parking act – is this behaviour okay?

    Yep. There could be a good reason for the driver to park this way. He or she, may be an idiot. Maybe they don't have a licence. Maybe they are incompetent. Maybe they were desparate for the loo. Maybe even they were planing a hold up and this was the besy way for a fast exit. Whatever. A...

    Bondi locals rally behind 12-year-old boy whose beach business was shut down after council crackdown

    It sickens me some times what the burocracy can and does do just to keep some complaining anonymous citizen happy. Maybe they are just jealous that they didn't think of it and they are taking it out on a young enterprising child. He is not doing any harm. He is supplying a need. He is showing...

    One Aussie woke up to find $58 million in his bank account – what he did next surprised…well, everyone!

    That seems a very reasonable answer. Certainly it is not your money but someone has' lent' it to you. Until they come to claim it you should do what is reasonable.

    The best landlord EVER? This mum goes above and beyond for her tenants!

    I bought a house nearly 30 years ago as a rental investment. I still have the house and am on my second tenant. My first tenant stayed for 2 months short of 20 years and this one looks to follow on. My argument is that it is their home and provided they don't trash it they can do what they...
