    Professional tennis player's shocking claim: Was he 'poisoned' during his deportation nightmare?

    Maybe he should stop seeking so much attention off the court, and concentrate on his game. Alienating Joe Average Australian, isn't going to fill the stands with cheering Aussies. But then he'll probably blame every lousy shot on the 'booing' from the crowd.

    Kmart accused of stealing Aussie innovation: 'It’s the most un-Australian thing I’ve ever seen'

    For far too long Australian inventions and technology have been shipped offshore due to cheaper labour/production costs. Here's a bloke, doing the right thing, designing, manufacturing and employing in Australia and getting stabbed in the back by the kmart monster. No bloody wonder so few...

    ‘Nowhere to hide’: Fire expert’s chilling warning for Australian suburbs

    A good 'smack upside the head' to climate change deniers and 'slow to act' governments would be a good place to start.

    Supermarkets struggle to restock shelves amid ongoing shortage of this key staple

    The great thing about the egg shortage (in this household) is that we are eating less bacon (not much of which is Australian), and we're eating more cereal and fruit. Gotta call that a win for our aging bodies. 🤣

    'This is literally part of the Knowledge Test': Driver faces thousands in fines after this mistake!

    I only recently realised that my car will not move forward, no matter what, if I am not wearing the seatbelt. (It was a parking situation on private property). The vehicle literally engaged the park brake until the seatbelt was done up.

    McDonald's faces backlash over unsanitary conditions, calls for better food safety

    Once upon a time we used to visit Maccas, just to use the loo, when on long trips. They used to be cleaned every hour and signs on the back of each door were signed off by the staff member who did the cleaning, and the time it was done. Not any more. Basic repairs are not even being done...

    That last sentence was unnecessary, don't you think?

    Extortion scam

    Don't you just love the idiots who have 'dirt on you' because of your computer usage or 'incriminating photos/video' of you? For starters I don't own a computer, have never filmed anything incriminating (wouldn't know how, even if I wanted to), and am so old and ugly, who would want to view it...

    Tap and pay cost me .5% surcharge on Saturday, if I put my savings account card in the machine at Aldi I apparently would not have paid the surcharge.

    They're obliged to have the sign up, but most businesses make it as small and inconspicuous as possible.

    'That's criminal!': Customers clamour about bank's outrageous fees

    It's pretty easy to get on your phone and find a 'bank owned' ATM. They do still exist and if you're in doubt, ask a local. ATM'S are getting harder to find, especially in rural and regional areas, fortunately most small towns still have a post office. I've never been charged for using the post...

    Is your bank overcharging you? Discover surprising new fees for customers!

    This was covered in a previous SDC letter. And it's not scaremongering if it's a statement of fact. Some articles I've seen here, I'd consider scaremongering but the facts about bank fees etc are not amongst them.

    Is your water bottle filthier than a toilet seat? See what scientists are saying!

    About once a week I give our (all metal) water bottles a good wash. First I fill them up with boiling water, throw in denture tablets and stuff the lid back down into the bottle (not screwed, you want the screw parts clean too). Let them sit for at least an hour, then empty and scrub with a...

    Save Money and Aggravation: Why This $5 Kmart Must-Have Is a Complete Waste!

    Those very same kmart t-towels, I tried every trick in the book to no avail. They ended up on the garage floor, and I can't say they were much use there.

    Aussies rage over ABC's 'woke' fireworks coverage—see why it causes such uproar

    I found nothing wrong with this. Another case of 'scroll past' if you don't like it. Nothing wrong with muting the commentary. Nobody seems to complain when it's LBTQI or multicultural commentary. I wonder why it's only our first nations people that attract such vitriol?
