    Consumer groups demand industry action to reimburse scam victims

    I agree with Anna Bligh. My idea would be for banks and institutions would be to not release any funds made by the customers for at least 2 days. It seems from recent reports that people seem to realise shortly after making payments to these scammers that they have been caught and then try to...

    Can Dreams Predict the Future?

    Interesting article. I have had some nightmares where I have woken up with one and it was so frightening. But I also have ridiculous dreams like recently. I had a dream about my former boss who was moving house and I was trying to organise him. It is about 30 years since I worked for this man...

    Tech Talk with Dr Al: Solar Panels – An Illuminating Idea

    Thank you Alan for the article. We too have Solar but not the batteries. We do not use enough electricity to warrant the cost. We originally received the 40 cents and 7 cents but now only get the new rates of 10 cents for after 5 pm and 2.5 cents for daytime and the cost to us is around 28...

    Jetstar loses luggage containing rare and sentimental items

    Many years ago we were in Los Angeles and on picking up our luggage we had to show the ticket issued from Perth airport. This is a good idea as so many cases look the same. Another time we were going to Vancouver and had to fly via Seattle so had to pick up our cases and go through customs at...

    Protect yourself: Here’s how to spot the malicious 'I can't believe he's gone' Facebook scam

    I often see ads on the Microsoft news page when I go to the internet on my computer. I believe a lot of this is fake news. e.g. David Koch advising how he has made millions and the same with other known people. Also, this is on Facebook where at the moment we get sad news about Keith Urban...

    Australians grapple with soaring costs of everyday pantry staples

    I too have noticed these price hikes. I look at the Coles catalogue that I download online each week and use this to jolt my memory of something that I am running short of. I then buy while on special. BUT I have noticed that most items Coles brag are half-price is that they are unnecessary...

    BEWARE: Study reveals a hidden danger in Aussie homes and sparks outcry for a nationwide ban

    I have my first son who has had Asthma since a very young child at first I was just told it was Bronchitis but later Asthma. He still has bad times with it when bushfires are about and when they are doing burnoffs . He is in his 60's now and we had wood fires when we lived in the country. It is...

    BEWARE: Study reveals a hidden danger in Aussie homes and sparks outcry for a nationwide ban

    Well if they are saying wood stoves are killing people now with the smoke then what about Barbecues and the yearly burning off by the Government? That happens here in WA and is certainly a cause for concern with Asthmatics etc.

    Better Homes and Garden reveals exciting new celebrity chef!

    I agree I have stopped watching BHG as I don't like the idea of showing a house that is way beyond the average buyer. It started as an idea we could use to improve in our homes and gardens.

    This 'appalling' brunch price hike exposes the deepening cost of living nightmare

    I am not in the catering industry but I realise that businesses have to charge the cost of producing an item. Cooking one person's breakfast takes time and with the cost of wages constantly going up then this has to be taken into consideration. I don't think $18 for the breakfast is too dear. I...

    Mum makes shocking discovery in beloved Aussie dessert: ‘Please be careful’

    Firstly with this report, I would say it is not a Coles problem. They do not own the company and only sell the products. It could be any of the supermarkets that sell these products. It should be the name of the company making the product. It always is made to sound like the store that sold the...

    David Koch explains why younger Aussies have ‘short end of the stick’ in housing market

    The way I see the problem is that in our day we could only afford a 3 bedroom home for our family of 2 adults and 4 children and today most people I know seem to have a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom games room or theatre room so that is part of the reason they are finding it hard to make ends meet...
