    Discover the Incredible Life Trick of the Woman Who Lives Without Money or a Bank Account! See How She Does It!

    Her GoFundMe page should be shut down immediately. She chose to live off other people's generosity for the last 10 years, living virtually rent free on a friend's property, doing some cooking (presumably for that family as she doesn't say who for) probably with their ingredients from which she...

    Major change at Coles packaging sparks debate among shoppers: ‘Impressed’

    Paper bags for grapes will become soggy very quickly & break when picked up to put in your trolley. Apart from that, I want to be able to see what I am buying. If fresh produce is packed in a paper bag I have no idea of the quality of the grapes in the bottom of the bag so they would be left on...

    Supermarket rolls out one surprising transformation to their stores

    Totally unnecessary. Just another way that these big retailers try to increase their profits by "encouraging" customers to buy things they don't really want or need by impulse buying. Going shopping is a way to get away from screens for me & I definitely don't want to see any other screen...

    Postal nightmare: Australia Post worker stole $400,000 in packages from customers

    I was about to say the same thing. Fifteen months in prison is hardly anything to this thief. He should have been sentenced to at least 10 years & we need to bring back the added penalty of "with Hard Labour". Prisons these days are a walk in the park for many with all the things they have...

    Cash at risk? Seniors groups reveal shocking truth behind new mandate

    All fees for payment & withdrawing our money from the bank MUST stop. It costs the bank nothing for me to withdraw my money. They benefit when my money stays in my a/c as they have this money invested in ways they gain interest from it. I was in a store recently & went to the counter to...

    'Australia wins this one': Tourist’s reaction to Aussie service sparks debate

    So, we the shoppers, pay for you to charge your EV!! All electricity has to be paid for & the supermarkets recoup that cost by increasing the price of groceries. If you own an EV either use your own electricity or go where you pay for what you use - don't sponge off the rest of us.

    It’s a 'lifesaver’: This simple app is changing bin night forever

    I only put my recycle bin out when it gets pretty full but recently it was left full by the garbage truck so i solved that problem quick smart. I emptied everything in the regular green top bin & now don't use the recycle one. I don't need the extra stress of pulling out 2 bins to have one...

    Government allots millions of funds for this 'long-neglected' service

    And you think that Albosneezy wasn't thinking about an election when he announced this? Dream on. Maybe it was announced months ago but it only really hit the headlines in the last couple of days. Big push by Albo to get it known now,

    How often do Aussies really shower at camp? The debate you didn't know you were missing

    That dermatologist has obviously never been camping. Wash your hair every 3 days!!! I don't even do that at home & definitely not when camping where one could be relying on tank water for everyone to be able to shower. The conditions she mentions are so uncommon that even though I have worked...

    Major restaurant chain announces operational shift affecting multiple regions

    I went to Domino's not so long ago & was disgusted with the size, topping & price for their pizzas. I used to go there regularly when I lived in a different town quite some time ago, & their pizzas were value for money. I will never go back again. On the other hand, they have recently opened...

    Government allots millions of funds for this 'long-neglected' service

    Yep!! Election in a couple of months. Gotta put a good spin on what we have done/will do for you. Answer: You have done nothing & I don't expect anything more in the future.

    'I can't unsee it': Parents call out supermarket giant for one inappropriate detail on this toy!

    Ger your minds out of the gutter. There is nothing inappropriate to the mind of a small child receiving this toy. People need to stop putting sex at the front of everything they see.

    Mastercard is dropping card numbers—here's why it could change the way you pay forever

    So if biometrics is what banks want this can affect a lot of peope in ways they are not considering, As a senior I sometimes need a friend to do some shopping for me. I give her my card (she already knows my PIN as she has power of attorney for me), she does my shopping & pays with card. If...

    Aussie Government rolls out massive road change in a few weeks. Is it time to say goodbye to your car?

    You should be travelling at least 3 car lengths from the car in front; 1 car lengtth is too close to stop in an emergency. The length also increases as you increase speed. But, as a guide, 3 car lengths is approx 50 metres which is about 10 car lengths,

    That was your bad driving that caused the accident. Why were you distracted? Looking at your phone by any chance? Keep you eyes & mind on the road & you will reduce the risk of tailgaiting the car on front.

    Federal Government boosts healthcare budget amid calls for reforms

    I'll say it again - the quickest way to get more nurses on the floor is to return training to hospitals, not university. Maybe it could be a 2 layer system in the hospitals & call the hospital trained (the same training that was in existence before uni training came about) nurses could be...

    Outrageous overcharge: How this Aussie woman was scammed out of hundreds for $6.99 item

    I never enter my PIN until I see the amount on the screen of the bank's machine. I have never had an experience like this but the story doesn't ring true anyway. There is no reason why the attendant would have entered an amount like that. I get my docket & check before leaving the store that...

    Never heard of him so wonder how you get the headline "universally loved". These headines are getting more OTT all the time.

    Say goodbye to GP appointments: See how pharmacies are changing healthcare consultations

    No, I do not have a doctor I can see at an hour's notice. I wait days/weeks for an appt but I trust the doctor to know the correct treatment, not the pharmacist. Try living in rural Australia where we have to continually put up with doctors not staying in the towns because "there is no night...
