Being mature-aged & having difficulty finding work is not something new. Back in the '80s I was in the unfortunate position of being out of work & job hunting. I was in an agency one day when an accountant rang looking for a 16y.o. with a typing speed of at least 60 wpm. A near impossibility...

We have to stay strong as a country & not cave to DJT's attacks on DEI. We must continue to regard all people as equal & include anyone who qualifies for a position without going the way the USA did & putting quotas on employment of DEI applicants.

We used to say "Only in America", now we are saying "Only in Qld". They had a "cat" teacher so how can we expect anything different from the kids (take whichever meaning you want) she & others who accept this behaviour, have taught.

Notices would assume that these idiots can read.

So once again the majority has to give way to the minority. As a senior female, if I had no choice but to use a unisex toilet then I would have to wait until I got home or drive up a bush track on the way home & go in the bush. The safety of females should be more important than the nonsense...

There is only one way to be safe - don't take illicit drugs!! Why should we have to pay for you to have your pills tested or cover your costs for long-term expensive hospitalisation when you take them & become so ill you need long-term medical care? If you choose to take these drugs then you...

Another so-called icon I have never heard of.

Please explain what you mean by "'what' can be understood by 'overs'".

The phrase which gets me at the moment is "I could care less" when they actually mean "I couldn't care less". If you "could care less" means that there is still a level of care about something.

That is ridiculous. For nearly 200 years we learnt the alphabet as a quadruplet. The division above does not make any sense & I never heard anything so stupid as today's kids are confused by the combinations which survived & taught generations of Aussie kids. This is just change for changes...

I promise not to spend my $4.60 all at once. With the increase in the price of electricity right on our doorstep this pittance is an insult to seniors. I am finding that as I grow older I need the heater on more in winter but at the current price of electricity I will probably be sitting...

Not necessarily so. The closest town to me has no notice at the supermarket carpark & when I go to the next city I park in 2 shopping centre car parks & I have never seen any notices in the 20 years I have lived out here.

"When drivers park their vehicles in private car parks, like those of a shopping centre, drivers enter a contract with the private entity that owns the area. This means drivers agree to abide by the car park's terms and conditions." Surely this means that, at the entrance to the carpark, there...

If there were no wars, what was US doing in Afghanistan?

Trump had started the removal of US troops from Afghanistan then Biden had to finish it in the allotted time frame. No choice but what he did to save his troops from the taliban.

I have experienced the same problem. I used to buy a lot of craft materials from USA but had to stop because of the cost of postage.

$75 x 4 = $300 not $350. Try your maths skills again.

You should have received $75/quarter automatically taken off your bill. Check your bills over the last 3-4 quarters & see if there is that amount taken off. If not, contact your supplier.

And this govt wants to import more foreign doctors!! I have worked with many immigrant doctors. Most are well educated & practise good medicine. However, I have also had experience of those whose qualifications & practice procedures are really questionable. Once, when I said I would not...

I agree. The only home brand things I buy are flour & sugar. Their biscuits are awful & usually smaller than the branded ones. Since I have a limited amount to spend on groceries I need to buy things I will eat - not throw away. The most recent thing I have had to go elsewhere to buy other...
