    Australia tightens drinking water guidelines amid ‘forever chemicals’ contamination concerns

    The point I was trying to make is that same water that feeds the toilet cistern is the same water coming out of any tap elsewhere on the property that you may be drinking from. Good luck with that if you don't have a filter!

    Australia tightens drinking water guidelines amid ‘forever chemicals’ contamination concerns

    I live in Craigmore, Sth. Aus and I recommend people lift the lid on their toilet cistern and have a look at the thick black muck accumulated at the bottom of that cistern! We luckily have a 3 way (mixer) tap in the kitchen hooked up to a filtration system from where we access clean drinking...

    This Beloved Aussie Slang is Now Taboo – Find Out Which Phrase is Off-Limits!

    Sadly it would seem all the "do-gooders" in society are hell-bent on cripling good ol ozzy slang. Any one I don't know how to address would usually be called "mate" in the case of a male or missus or blossom (depending on age) for a female! I have actually offended females by those terms, those...

    Dog owner lashes out after being hit with $806 fine for a little-known mistake

    There surely has to be another side to this story? On face value this just has to be so wrong in so many ways! Again, on face value, this lady would get my overwhelming support ( having been an elected member in a local council some years ago)!

    'Something is going very wrong': Stories from one Aussie hospital tell grim reality healthcare systems face

    I was supposed to be operated on immediately on arrival in the hospital but a series of serious car accidents put my operation back then back again for over 2 days. I have also since had a cataract removed from that eye! Needless to say I was ready to chew my own arm off I was that hungry...

    'Something is going very wrong': Stories from one Aussie hospital tell grim reality healthcare systems face

    I accidentally dislodged my retina when I hit my head on the corner of my car door. It was next morning before I could see my doctor but he immediately ordered me to the RAH in S.A. for an urgent re-attachment of the retina. I was left in a room and literally starved of food and very little...

    Iconic brand shuts down after 120 years in ‘ultra-competitive’ industry

    I once was able to eat their superb cheeses but have been lactose intolerant for over 20 years now so I have to be careful of my choices. I still buy Australian cheese but lactose free! Sad to see this icon disappear!
