    Driver 'lost their s***' after finding this parking ticket on their vehicle!

    No one is displaying advertising on a vehicle. To display something it would need to be seen & read from a distance by people other than the vehicle's owner. The fake fines are just a piece of paper placed under a windscreen wiper so no problem. Just chill out if you get one & have a good...

    Check if you're qualified for this 'critical' cash boost from Centrelink!

    What an insult. Now I can buy an extra loaf of bread a fortnight so might get to have a sandwich for lunch every 2nd day to keep within my level of income. I would love to be able to have home & contents insurance but the last renewal I received had increased so much I rang the company to...

    Modern technology could put your medical data at risk, legal expert warns

    You must have created the My Health Record when they wanted us all to do that. I didn't do it then & I don't do it now & my specialist sends his results still via computer but it is not stored anywhere except his office & my doctor's office.

    Famous sport bar faces backlash as fans discover this sneaky menu addition!

    If I use my Visa card it is not a credit card - it replaced the old Cash Card & the money comes straight from my savings a/c. They still want to charge me a fee to, basically, use my cash. Not on.

    Famous sport bar faces backlash as fans discover this sneaky menu addition!

    So what's the difference? You are still usig your card & the business is still being charged the fee from the bank which they can choose to pass on to you.

    Famous sport bar faces backlash as fans discover this sneaky menu addition!

    Same for me. One local chemist I would use regularly suddenly charged me a fee when I used my card but there was no sign anywhere that they would be adding this charge. I left the shop with my tablets because the sale had gone through & I would only get the cost of the tablets back not the...

    'My neighbour's rubbish spills over to my driveway... so I kicked it back to their side'

    If her bins are always out, does that mean days other than those when the garbage truck comes to pick up? If so, I would raise the issue with council as in most areas, it is illegal to leave your bins outside your property for an extended period of time

    Avoid a whopping $15,000 fine: A tradie's shocking roadside encounter on a rural Aussie road!

    Every tradesman knows the rules about securing his load & flagging anything that is overhanging at the back. This is not a new rule & should be policed in every town, city & state. I was behind a vehicle in the last few days, on a country road, with gear overhanging at the rear. Fortunately...

    Is Australia expecting an enemy soon? Insider reveals details about possible attacks Down Under!

    So Richard Marles thinks that some international law is going to stop China if it wants to attack us? From the time we were told that the Chinese were off the coast of NSW I felt that this was the start of assessing our country to find the best places to attack; and then when they continued...

    Shocking Sleep Trend Sweeping Australia - Is It Affecting Your Health? Experts Reveal Startling Findings!

    I go to bed to have a few minutes reading a good book but then, as soon as my light is turned off, I'm asleep. While I admit I am lucky I know that some people become so dependent on their nightly "sleep pill" that when they need to go into care they can be given something as simple as a...

    Shocking Discovery Unveiled Inside Sydney's Popular Shoe Repair Shop – You Won't Believe What Happened!

    Some of the details do not add up. 1. She was 12 in 1998-1999. So she would now be 35-36 years old, not the stated 40 years old. 2. She now fears men yet she got into a relationship (unknown if it was marriage or not from article) & went on to obviously have sexual relations in order to...

    Modern technology could put your medical data at risk, legal expert warns

    So does mine. And yesterday I saw a specialist who did the same thing. As she asked questions & I answered, she typed away. No need for AI.

    Homeowner spends $3,000 in legal fees over neighbour’s backyard nightmare

    At the first sign of it infiltrating into your property, hit it with a good weed killer. At one place I lived the neighbour had bamboo growing which had infiltrated my property. I hit it with Roundup & killed the lot even though I only sprayed that which was on my property.

    Authorities nab one man travelling under a fake identity and more

    I searched this article looking for the thing police found which was "even more chilling". This headline was just click-bait & I fell for it. There was absolutely nothing here that was "more chilling" than the discussion about a bomb with someone on his phone. The only other thing they found...

    Modern technology could put your medical data at risk, legal expert warns

    No way would I consider it safe & reiiable. I would fear that errors would be made in transcribing the notes from my discussion with my doctor. The AI bot has to be trained by someone so again, the quality of the "training" could lead to massive errors in transcription. Then there is the...
