    Protect Your Wallet: Are You One of the 11,400 Drivers Already Snagged by Australia's Latest Road Scam?

    Do the right thing and you are OK - why would people be so stupid to misuse seat belts? If they are so stupid they deserve a large fine.

    This Surprising Habit, Not Price, Keeps Aussie Shoppers Loyal to Big Supermarkets – Are You One of Them?

    Inferior products only at Aldi, never at the 'big 2'! The majority of Aldi brands are actually 'named' brands that do a special run and have Aldi labels attached. It seems you don't need to watch your $'s.

    Why charging your e-scooter at home could cost you everything

    Sad to have your house destroyed, however no insurance but an e-scooter + lots of batteries? There have been countless articles - in all forms of media - for a long time about the dangers of these batteries.

    ‘This is a joke’: Grandmother slams $1,209 fine for road rule breach, cuts back Christmas spending

    Her phone should be nowhere near her hands. It is the law - if she isn't connected via blue toothe etc, she will not be able to utilise her phone whilst driving so it should be locked away. Big fine - maybe, could have been worse, looking at phone and driving into someone.

    Seniors beg for help in secret newspaper messages after government move shatters their lives

    Once again it is mainly the elderly targeted here - and it is not just the banks at fault. A lot of companies are refusing cheques - some to their own detriment. I have a relative in her late 90's who regularly donated money to many charities. None now accept cheques, she (understandably)...

    Is Sydney's Harbour Bridge About to Change Forever? The Crazy Plan You Need to See to Believe!

    Greaet idea - however the lanes are too narrow for this to be sustainable. Only way to do this would be to elimate an enitre lane and make all (expect the 1 on the east) lanes wider. Don't think that will be a sensible solution though.

    Check your licences: Local woman's licence oversight costs her over $650

    I am at a loss as to why you wouldn't know your licence was expiring. No you don't have to view it constantly, but you surely can recall an approximate time. Similarly are you constantly checking any membership cards, passports etc to see if they are expiring. Don't always rely on Aust Post...

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

    Brilliant - I am sick of idiots with their 'hotted up' cars and bikes screeching through quite areas and startling not just the humans but all wild life etc. The technology is there so it is good to hear they are using it.

    Such a same humans are so inward thinking and just have to get closer and closer to nature. Well done these councils.

    Aussie-owned food brand The Essential Ingredient enters voluntary administration after 38 years

    I guess if you didn't live in the inner areas of Syd & Mel you may not have been aware of them, although if you were intersted in cooking and read various top end magazines, you would know of them. Only yesterday I was telling a '15 yo wanna-be chef' about this fabulous place. Where you could...

    Grieving Daughter's Home Invasion Nightmare - Squatters Take Over & Ruin Her Father's Legacy!

    Absolutely - no consideration given to the state the property would have been in, the vermin etc it would have attracted. I cannot quite fathom how anyone could just ignore a property for so long. Not condoning squatters, but really ...
