    Shocking TV Update: The 'C-word' is no longer taboo – Find out why it's airing uncensored!

    The two degenerate words are common in everyday use in Australia and I feel it is a great shame as they belittle so much but so be it. I cannot justify in any way the use of these words in social media or television and I do find them to cause me discomfort when I hear them on the TV. I like...

    This state is on the brink of a health crisis. Will this affect other Aussie states soon?

    Stop blaming "the Government" for everything. It is petty and mostly unfounded. When people blame "the Government" they mostly have no idea what they are discussing. Is it State Government, Federal Government, or perhaps even a local council that controls the area being complained about? In some...

    Love your comment but I have to ask, what has "By the way, I'm not a Pommie> got to do with it?

    Aussie suburb in shock after mysterious mass poisoning–residents speak out

    The fines should be as high as possible. Australia is a lucky country that supports an incredible array of beautiful and interesting birdlife; watching them can be fascinating. I feed a small flock of cockatoos in my backyard daily, and watching their antics is sometimes very funny. Yes, they...

    Shocking reasons why a first-class passenger was booted for a dog may make you rethink flying Delta!

    What puzzles me is that the seat for the service dog would have been fully paid for and not an upgrade. The picture shows that the seats are in the coach area, not first class. The complainant was given a free upgrade to first class so he must have been a problem passenger to be asked to return...

    Is your privacy at risk? Aussie’s unsettling phone call raises alarm over scams

    Why should he say anything, it has no connection at all. It is unfortunately the state of the world.

    Authorities ‘bust the myth’ about this little-known road rule that could cost you up to $349

    There could be some confusion here as some of the people reading our posts may be from different countries where they drive on the right-hand side and where traffic would approach them from the left when approaching a roundabout.

    Is Australia saying goodbye to coins? Here’s what the Mint is planning next

    Discontinuing coin production would directly affect the prices of everyday goods such as groceries, clothes, etc. The cost of goods that might be currently $1.55 would then be bumped up to $2.00 as no coins would cover the price. That would be a definite contributing factor to inflation in my books.

    Extortion scam

    There is also a good way of dealing with these terrible emails. It does depend a little on what browser you use for the internet and emails. I use Telstra as they offer the best protection even though they are a touch expensive. Have a look at the top right of your email page and you will find 3...

    Beware the Allure: The Shocking Danger Lurking in This Australian Woman's 'Cool' Backyard Plant

    I remember back in the UK during the 60s you could buy a small plant pot with a version of this plant known then as a ticklish plant. It had to be kept indoors with plenty of light but it never used to grow more than about 300mm high at best and was unlikely to live through winter. They were...

    You won't believe how much you'll have to pay next time you visit this iconic Sydney museum!

    I did not know it even existed so maybe that is a problem that few know it exists. A bit of advertising might help with a few exhibitions being developed.

    It says a $2,200.00 fine can be imposed if a fire is left unattended, so who do they charge for that?

    Armed teens brutally attack elderly woman in hotel, raising alarming security concerns for seniors

    At 14 they should know right from wrong so they should be punished where the punishment fits the crime. Instead of sending them back to school with their cronies, send them to prison where they can learn the basic rules of common decency. Horrible little cretins, they would have been severely...
