    ‘Not safe to drink water’: Urgent health warning leaves residents on edge

    I always thought that whiskey was the finest liquid and was well-tested and filtered. Lol.

    Trump's crackdown sparks funding crisis for Aussie education

    I believe our thinking is a bit wrong regarding the USA sponsoring our universities and research bodies. I too was unaware of the USA's financial influence over our institutions. It is well known throughout the world that Australian research, especially in the medical area is probably the best...

    Aussie mum outraged: Discover the bizarre trend taking over classrooms that grandparents must know!

    That explains the way our pollies act in Parliament, it must be a result of😹 our education department.

    Some say it’s overdue, others say it’s unnecessary: Where do you stand on this bathroom debate?

    I am probably missing many so-called issues here but to me, there are three options, Male, Female, and disabled. Disabled is for people who are incapacitated and need more fittings and more space. (By the way, there seems to be no requirement to be male or female). Male means you were born with...

    RBA’s big decision for the $5 note has left Australians split—where do you stand?

    I am also British and it is a sad situation as to how the First Nation people were treated but it is history. Look at our history, The Romans were not the kindest of conquerors, the Saxons, the Normans, the Vikings, etc were all conquerors who made the country greater each time. Just like...

    The Alphabet Song Will Never Be The Same – Find Out Why The Internet Is Losing Its Mind Over This New Version!

    I am sure what you say is true but having come from an engineering background the minus calculations are so important and I cannot believe that this is the case. Oh well, a minus multiplied by a minus is a plus so I guess there are other logical reasons behind this stupidity.

    Doctors see massive surge in senior hospitalisations due to this problem

    When I came to Australia in 1972 I had perfect teeth for a 21-year-old. One day I felt a pain at the back of my teeth so I chose what I thought to be a reputable dentist and booked an appointment (which was free) and off I went. This guy was very personable and had a look in my mouth and told me...

    The Alphabet Song Will Never Be The Same – Find Out Why The Internet Is Losing Its Mind Over This New Version!

    What?! Change the Alphabet song?!!! OK, where's Trump when you need him (whoops, thoughts. he could not deal with it such as his weading and witin skills are) so, what do we do> Oh yes of course a referendum, that should give us some guidelines that we can look at and ignore.

    ‘Many are fed up’: Local pushes back on Aussie tourists

    Well, I think the lady was very wrong for smoking where it is not allowed. The snowboarder was right to make mention of it to her and when she apologised and extinguished the cigarette that should have been the end of it. The over-the-top reaction by the snowboarder afterwards was wrong in...

    Thank you for all that. We were treated quite well and I was proud to serve my Country.

    Former prime minister sparks fiery debate with TV host: 'We believe in free speech'

    I have to say thank you for being a member of the defense fraternity here in Aus and I do sympathise with you after my own service experience in Vietnam. But we have to move on to what is now a new and modernised version of the armed forces. I would really be interested in what the underwater...

    Former prime minister sparks fiery debate with TV host: 'We believe in free speech'

    I see your point that unmanned drones are an option, I have not heard of them so cannot comment. There are plenty of staff to run the new subs as they are now training in the USA. The French can also provide the same training.

    Former prime minister sparks fiery debate with TV host: 'We believe in free speech'

    I agree that the current submarines in our fleet are outdated and that is why we have to replace them urgently with nuclear-powered versions. Also, they would of course be fitted with the latest technology for defense and attack even if this is denied by the powers that be.

    Former prime minister sparks fiery debate with TV host: 'We believe in free speech'

    I can see a need for us to continue with the purchase of the submarines for our defense reasons. Perhaps though and considering the US President's ridiculous antics we should pull out of AUKUS, write off the money spent to date, and reinstate the agreement that we had with the French if they...

    RBA’s big decision for the $5 note has left Australians split—where do you stand?

    I'm just wondering if the upcoming $10.00 note will have a full welcome to country on it with smoke coming out when it is removed from a wallet?

    Shock exit! This beloved Brisbane landmark is shutting down for good

    Did not enjoy the video, there are many more beautiful suites in the Hilton Brisbane rather than just the el cheapo version shown. The video did not do it justice.
