There is a simple solution which the households could do - don't buy so much pre-packaged food. That would reduce the amout of waste which you needed to dispose of. I only ever have 1-2 medium sized kitchen tidies that get emptied into my bin/week since I hardly buy anything that is...

Ii agree. I also have a large compost bin which takes all my food waste except those which do not compost (e.g. meat scraps). Even with all my other waste, including a lot of crafting scraps, I only need to put my bin out every 2-3 weeks. Too many "greens" out there wanting more & more bins...

My frreezer is full of food that I intend to eat. There is no room for rubbish that is going to be thrown in the bin. If I was forced into this extra bin nonsense I would be forced to put my food scraps just as I do now - in the regular green top bin.

Big Brother rises again. We are so over-governed in this country it's becoming almost like living in a communist country where everything you say & do is monitored to be sure you do not break some law. You can easily see that these people were wearing their seatbelts correctly yet the govt...

This is such old news I wonder why it has earned this place in our reading. SDC needs to stop resurrecting old news while trying to make it sound like something new they have found for us to read.

Yet another idiot who spends money unwisely. I have a question though, what happens if he wants to sell this parking space in a few years? Or what if the property owner wants to sell the home? Does the new buyer get saddled with this car parking space which he can't use as it has been sold...

Never, ever, pay for something without having possession of that purchase. That's a basic principle of buying anything. I bet they never paid for a car before taking possession of it & that would have cost less than the luxury caravan they wanted to buy. I'm sorry this happened to them but...

I'm not sorry for him. He is an idiot & idiots don't deserve my pity. Plus he is young enough to know the risks of doing anything out of the norm on the internet.

You get very hot in the daytime or sit in the dark at night. That's why I bought a portagas stove and a pressure lamp. Now I can cook whenever the lights go out & I can see what I am doing.

When I put my panels up the feed in tariff was 20c now it is 5c. Meanwhile they charge me 25-38c/kwh. That's price gouging at its best & the govt supports that while at the same time saying they are going to prevent price gouging by the supermarkets. They should get their own house in order...

Another person the govt loves as you do their job of providing an essential service to all Australians. Not everyone can afford to buy sufficient panels & a battery to power their home. I bought a portagas stove & pressure lamp so I can cook & see what I am doing.

"NSW Energy Minister Penny Sharpe has urged caution, .... and to be mindful of their power usage." What a ridiculous statement. Does she think we are not mindful of our power usage with the ridiculously high power prices we have to pay? I am on a Smart Meter & now I cook my main meal in the...

No. It is one business & all costs & profits are part of that one business. You don't charge more for one part of the business because it is not as profitable as the rest of the business. If the business is making a profit then it is successful.

So stop using a mail box you pay for & start getting your mail delivered to your mail box at the front of your home. This also helps keep the posties jobs.

Tourists from countries where they drive on the "wrong" side of the road should not be allowed to drive in Australia without undergoing training & testing first. One member of my family was killed by one of these drivers who forgot he had to drive on the left hand side of the road & came around...

Every business knows you don't increase business by raising prices. As one of the largest businesses in Australia why is it that Australia Post doesn't understand this basic principle of doing business? Raising prices drives customers away. If Australia Post wants to survive into the next...

Instead of seeing an overall death rate from road accidents, how about telling us how many have died on the streets of Adelaide CBD. This would be a better indicator of the need to reduce speed to this ridiculous low range. How about we also make pedestrians responsible for their own actions...

Who cares what nationality he is? He wants to hold an Australian driver's licence. As regards the possibility of a person who is not a natural-born Australian, he MUST be required to have a good, working knowledge of the English language before being granted a learner's permit or, ultimately...

Well bully for you. I have never encountered these lines & I have lived in a coastal city in NSW most of my life although I now live in rural NSW. If rules are changed then people have to be educated on the change not fined because they didn't read the new rule book which they didn't even know...

So, while people are all standing around, checkouts are manned but not being operated during the minute's silence, someone ran into the store, used a knife to open 2 registers making a considerable amount of noise while doing this, & no one heard anything or saw him? Not a very plausible story.
