    Is This Plant in Your Backyard Threatening Your Brain Health? Aussie Homes Face Invasive Nightmare!

    Never seen one for real but from the photos, what an ugly thing it is. Why would anyone want to import it in the first place?

    Arnott’s reveals the most popular biscuit of 2024—can you guess what?

    Arnotts said ‘We continue to invest in promotional programs with our retailers year-round, to ensure consumers can buy our products at great value prices.’ Would it not be more reasonable for Arnotts to offer a better medium price year-round rather than upsetting its very loyal customers by...

    Arnott’s reveals the most popular biscuit of 2024—can you guess what?

    Would have to be a greatly misunderstood currency conversion factor I would think,

    Major bank embraces future with significant online banking shift amidst digital boom

    I am totally with you on that. I tried to use fingerprint recognition several times, but when I log in, it does not recognise me, so I have given up on that. The banks have some really smart IT consultants working for them; it would appear that they also have some dumb ones. The dumb ones, I...

    New power bill credits to roll out as government tackles rising living costs

    I believe that there is a solution. Most of us would remember when NBN was rolled out and every household at the time received an NBN box regardless of it's use or not? The cost was ridiculous but we got through it and now everyone uses it. Why on earth in our sunny country can we not have a...

    This woman pays over $2,500 for doing this repeated act on popular holiday island

    So why put a K in it? It sounds like a case of neumonia or silent P's as in cat! Perhaps a new breakfast cerial, "very special K".

    This woman pays over $2,500 for doing this repeated act on popular holiday island

    I would suppose that if it is already "washed up" on the beach then it would allay the need for the Dingo o clean it himself so no cost involved. Catching one in the shallows should be stated as income on his tax return but who knows? :)

    Services Australia announces major changes to Centrepay system, set to begin in 2025

    It is a good system that is not really publicised, I use it for my electricity payments so I don't really notice the fortnightly payment that is deducted. I have an agreement with my electricity supplier, Energy Locals. for me to have fixed fortnightly payments ($70.00) and it kind of becomes...

    This woman pays over $2,500 for doing this repeated act on popular holiday island

    Why would the authorities change the name of Fraser Island (well known to the mass population) to K'gari for Gods sake? It's almost impossible to pronounce and even spellcheck does not like it. OK, add the Ancient Language name to it if you like but leave the Fraser Island name alone for us...

    Big road changes are coming this week—Aussie drivers, are you prepared?

    They already have teams of workers who do nothing but paint roadmarkings so why not just change the paint? The effective cost is nothing!

    Futuristic car is making waves at a beloved local store. Is the Tesla Cybertruck finally allowed in AU?

    Didn't know Bunnings sold replacement batteries for Teslas, perhaps a new profitable line for them.

    95-Year-Old Woman Left in the Cold for Hours: How Ambulance Priorities Failed Her

    But here in Australia, we have a different situation. About 3 years ago towards the end of the pandemic, I decided that there was a break in the rain that had pervaded for several days and therefore, I would take my long-suffering dog for a walk. We were about half a km from home at the top of a...

    King Charles's shocking plan was revealed—discover why he might be forced to abdicate!

    I agree with all that, and wouldn't it be a kick in the teeth for Harry and Megan? Harry could continue his hobby of suing the media for all sorts of nonsense to his little heart's content, while big brother would show the world how a Monarchy should be run.
