    ‘This isn’t right’: Debate erupts after shopper shares frustrating Woolies encounter

    The minute I noticed her user name and 'occupation', I guessed this was going to be a case of entitlement and attention seeking. $68 doesn't buy you much in Woolies and if you can't shove that much shopping into a bag, instead of filming the interaction, the problem is you. Even in Woolies, I...

    'Can anyone explain why?': Coles' self-checkout policy confuses shoppers

    Even the manned checkouts request that the bulky items get scanned first. I assume that it's because they allow you to leave them in your trolley. As an old and not very strong person, I find this helpful. It also saves other shopping from getting squashed. I think this rule has lost something...

    It's 'going to stink’: Residents outraged over major bin changes

    Ssurely after 5 kids this bloke knows how to wrap and seal disposable nappies. As for his 'crayfish' party...surely it's not beyond his ability to wrap, seal, and freeze the waste until garbage collection? Everyone else manages with what is available to them, even those who can't afford a...

    Aussie comic makes 'vile' joke at first gig, gets cancelled instantly

    It's gotten to the stage where most subjects may cause offence to someone somewhere, but comedians are not exempt from having to do 'their homework' before practising their craft. This bloke's example is the reason many folk just don't go into comedy any more. By the way, a good blonde joke is...

    Scam purporting to be from the ATO

    I get all the same crap, and a lot supposedly from Telstra. Since I have no phone accounts in my own name, these bastards get hung up on as soon as they claim to be from Telstra, or swiped away if in email form. Often they communicate with a distinct Indian accent claiming to be eg Joe Average...

    Peter Dutton reveals cost-of-living measures that may 'make a real difference to families'

    Dbutton is physically incapable of telling the truth. His playbook is 'Trump-lite'. We've all seen how quickly he backed down on his promises once elected. Dutton is only making this announcement to distract from the fact that his other 'so-called' policies are falling like dominoes.

    ‘$3.10 isn't even a litre of milk’: Centrelink recipients slam latest payment increase

    I wonderful how many struggling working Aussies got a $225.60 pay rise in the same time frame these jobseekers did? And those complaining about the increase in their social housing rent?

    General Discussion Thread 19.03.2025

    Honey Jumbles are the ones I miss. My late father and I used to share them. He'd eat the white ones and ( begrudgingly) let me eat the pink ones. The only other biscuit we shared are 'Spicy Fruit Rolls' and it's getting really hard to find them. IGA seems to be the last store to keep them, and...

    No such thing. Keep waiting.

    The problem is when you actually find the perfect man, and realise he's the perfect man because of the way you brought him up. In other words, he's your son, and you just hope he finds someone who deserves him.

    Extreme weather strikes again! How dairy farmers are struggling to stay afloat

    It's not just a problem for dairy farmers, it's a problem for the whole country. Until insurance companies invest/ borrow only in Australia, they're going to keep passing on their costs to the average Australian who pays their insurance and blindly accepts the bill. Unfortunately paying interest...
