    Mosquito invasion causes major safety concern in one state

    For goodness sake, we have lived with mozzies all our lives. If they worry you that much you can get mozzie traps but you need to clean your yard of all still water wherever it may be. Then you get out the good old Aerogard & spray your exposed skin before going outside. But the most...

    Major Aussie fashion brand enters voluntary administration

    I do nearly all my clothing shopping at Millers so I will be in real trouble if they close.

    Aussie councils roll out innovative solutions for one common mistake

    One solution - put everything in the general garbage bin. I don't have the space in my kitchen to have multiple bins for sorting before taking rubbish outside to large wheelie bin so everything goes in one bin.

    TGA’s reform set to reduce paracetamol pack sizes across Australia

    Now is the time to stock up while we can still buy packs of 100 tabs. I already have a supply on hand but will definitely increase my stock as I need to take Panadol daily for pain so that I can do my housework & some gardening. Without them I would be confined to my chair for many hours a day.

    Like every other comment I've never heard of Harolds so guess that means they won't be missed.

    Luxury fashion empire Harrolds crumbles with millions in debt

    Their stuff is absolute rubbish. Not worth what you pay for it. Wears out very quickly. Buy good quality & you get years of wear thus getting good value for money.

    Supermarket faces outrage over insufficient markdown on expiring product

    It's fine to offer food to charities but then only the people on the coast benefit from this gift. Those who live in rural areas never see the fruit/veg/meat which has been given to charities. We benefit more from the produce being reduced in store so we can buy at a price we can afford.

    Shocking Beach Photo Exposes Dangerous Act – You Won't Believe What Thousands Are Doing Wrong!

    You can't charge these idiots for someone having to come to their rescue bc most of them have drowned already. I agree with the idea during floods when people drive into flood water & then someone needs to put their life at risk to rescue them.

    'Americanising' Aussie Cafes? See How One Woman Exposed the Outrageous Trend Sweeping the Nation!

    I will never tip. A good wage is paid to these people & I will not add to it. No one ever gave me a tip for caring for psychiatric patients or, later, typing medical reports for patients in a large hospital. If you tip staff in one industry, why not everyone?

    Digital payment options expand as government phases out cheques by 2028

    "To address this digital divide, Get Online Week, a national campaign by digital inclusion advocates Good Things Australia, will run from 14 to 20 October." Guess what?? Today is 20 October & this is the first I have heard of this. Apart from this obvious problem, here's another problem - if...

    $97K light show sparks outrage among residents over spending priorities

    This is not a gift to the King. It's really a spectacle for the people of Sydney - so, basically, they are the ones who receive the gift.

    Local expresses outrage over council's 'eco-friendly' billing approach: 'The public was not consulted'

    I don't throw my bills away. After about a year (I keep them that long in case of a dispute), I shred them & they become mulch on my garden. If I don't have these then I will have to buy mulch - just another unnecessary expense.

    Local expresses outrage over council's 'eco-friendly' billing approach: 'The public was not consulted'

    This is just another way for large companies to raise more revenue while we, the customers, pay more. If a company wants to make use of my email address to send their a/cs then they have to pay me for the use of my computer, cost of internet, electricity to run computer, printer/paper/ink so I...

    Read the article again. You can still withdraw cash using a card in an ATM but you cannot withdraw using the cardless way.

    Westpac axes cardless cash withdrawals from their ATMs nationwide

    Maybe you should go back to the school whose money you were banking & learn how to read & comprehend what you have read. They are only stopping cardless withdrawals to protect customers from scammers.

    Are these fees draining your bank account? MP scrutinises major banks for 'sneaky' surcharges

    I got caught with these charges recently at my local chemist. There was no sign saying they were now charging an extra fee. That sent me searching for ways to avoid this fee & my next stop was local WW & there I found the same vitamin tabs which I need for my eye condition, for less than I was...

    You can still go out to Dinner - just pay cash or go to a restaurant which doesn't charge the fee. Simple.

    Is your car too loud? New 'noise cameras' might catch you in the act!

    The warnings will last for a few days then they will have to fine people to pay for these excessively expensive cameras. $50,000 each & they have bought 4 so they now have to raise $200,000 just to pay for them without the cost of regular maintenance etc. Let the police do their job & fine...

    Police urge community vigilance to combat growing thefts

    I have not had this happen to me - yet. However, after your post I think I will be asking if they are charging a fee for card use before I give them my information. If so, then they can go find another customer & I will find another company to do the work needed. Thanks for warning me of...
