    Are your driving skills outdated? Experts believe so and here's why

    The "Death By Age Group" is simply stating how old the people were who died. It does NOT state the age group of the people contributing to those deaths....the drivers.

    3 eh? Yes, I can understand that. Kids stealing motor vehicles etc. But that's not what the stats grid showed.

    Driving the point home: Aussie state’s licence rule leaves drivers scratching their heads

    Databases can only cover vehicle ownership. What if an E-L is driving a borrowed vehicle.

    Driving the point home: Aussie state’s licence rule leaves drivers scratching their heads

    Extraordinary does not mean "extra good". It means "out of the ordinary" or "special". The E-Plates are issued for "out of the ordinary" or "special" circumstances. Not too sure of the exact figures, but it would be about 1 in 10 who apply for an extraordinary license actually get one. It is...

    On-air conflict escalates during live radio broadcast, leading to stunning moment of chaos

    Back in 1965/66, I had a friend called Normie Beer, who was a mate of Normie Rowe. We all attended the Brunswick baths together on a couple of occasions. I didn't actually get to become a "mate" of Normie Rowe, just an acquaintance.

    On-air conflict escalates during live radio broadcast, leading to stunning moment of chaos

    Sorry mate, a misunderstanding. I wasn't saying that the disagreement was about the monarchy. My point was that Ron was a well known Republican and Normie was a well known Monarchist. This was a point that led to the friction between the two. Yes, when Ron made those idiotic remarks about...

    On-air conflict escalates during live radio broadcast, leading to stunning moment of chaos

    I think you are referring to the Ron Casey incident with the fisty-cuffs taking place on the Midday Show back in about 1991. Oh what a troublemaker was Ron Casey. He was a Republican through and through, and took exception to all that Monarchist Normie Rowe said, until he could no longer hold...

    Debate sizzles over 'outrageous' price for common snack at this event— ‘Un-Australian, that is’

    I think you will find that Tamarama Surf Life Saving Club owns the premises and pays no rent. They definitely DO NOT pay the people selling the sausage sizzle as it is carried out by all volunteers. I assume that the only higher costs would be the land rates for that area. Being a volunteer...

    Debate sizzles over 'outrageous' price for common snack at this event— ‘Un-Australian, that is’

    Bunnings, in a notice on its website, the hardware giant confirmed that it increased its sausage sizzle drink prices from $1.50 to $2.00 for a can of soft drink or a bottle of water. But thankfully, the company confirms “The price of a sausage in bread will remain at $3.50 (with or without...
