    Are parking fees for large cars about to skyrocket? You won't believe the reason why

    I don’t like them either, but have we all even thought why some, not all, drivers of these vehicles might need them in their employment as well. Perhaps the real thing to consider is that these vehicles could be provided with separated, larger and longer parking bays in shopping centres...

    'I tried y'all, I tried': How one father's grief is now saving lives in his community

    Tragic. Where do we get these life-saving devices and how much do they cost? Are they freely available to the general public? Some questions I’m sure everyone with little grandchildren and even adults could benefit from.

    And make sure the first and last ones are direct hits!

    'I have a little rotation': Discover Fran Drescher's secret to happiness

    A lot of garbage is what is being shown these days. Who cares about ‘farmer wants a wife’, ‘married at first sight’ and the like. It is all put on for the cameras and I’m pretty sure most ‘marriages’ like that don’t last more than a very short while (if at all) but the people in them probably...

    Shopper shares lesser-known money-saver rule at her local hardware store!

    Save on two drives, so if one crashes you still have another with the info. That’s what we do - one external drive backed up once a week with all the computer info & the other is the computer’s own drive.

    15-year-old's phone captures alleged lewd act on public bus

    NO, this is not an emergency for a ‘000’ call. It is, though, an IMPORTANT CALL directly to police, but not an emergency. Her mother did the right thing by calling police though. People complain about having to wait for, and the delay in getting, an ambulance and this sort of thing increases...

    More airlines ban the use of this item during flights. Will Aussie carriers follow soon?

    Too bad, so sad only for the ones wanting their own entertainment. However there are multiple users of hearing devices and CPAP and essential medical equipment that it is necessary for so there must be some kind of charging device on board for them. What is the answer - well, I don’t know how...

    'I have a little rotation': Discover Fran Drescher's secret to happiness

    You can tell with just a few scenes shown that the so-called “reality” shows are just “put ons”. So much utter rubbish. Give me the good old 70s movies and game shows any day.

    'I have a little rotation': Discover Fran Drescher's secret to happiness

    It’s her PERSONAL life. We don’t need to hear about THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY. Each to his own.

    Woman dead for 24 minutes shares shocking experience that challenges sceptics

    Veggiepatch, I read all your comments to others on this site and your own thoughts to articles published here. I must say, however, I do not like or agree with some of them. However, I have always said to my husband that you certainly do a lot of research presenting quotes so often. Thank you...

    Woman dead for 24 minutes shares shocking experience that challenges sceptics

    I don’t wish to comment on this article except to say I’m ‘sitting on the fence’ and won’t say one way or the other whether it is true or not until, and if, I experience it for myself. I don’t think any of us can comment here with certainty as most, if not all, have not been down this path...

    ‘Get off the f**** road’: This driver’s reaction to a pedestrian was out of control

    I noticed, from the picture shown, that he is holding a phone - what, holding a phone while in control of a vehicle??? ! ! ! Too many idiots and too much anger on the roads these days.

    Discover the Lavish $3.4 Million Adelaide Home Just Snapped Up by Penny Wong – You Won't Believe the Luxuries Inside!

    Oh my, so ill-informed about how hard politicians work ‘behind the scenes’. It is what we don’t see or are privy to that we don’t have a clear understanding and knowledge of. They are constantly on the go, moving from one city/town to another almost every couple of days. Can you just stop and...

    Discover the Lavish $3.4 Million Adelaide Home Just Snapped Up by Penny Wong – You Won't Believe the Luxuries Inside!

    Just a short comment on the value of our politicians’ homes. We hear it everyday now that the price of homes is beyond affordable for even the ordinary citizen. In the days of and before Turnbull, Keating etc you have to admit homes were not the price they are today. In the last 5-10 years...

    Authorities arrest content creator for scandalous actions towards her pets

    A very ‘sick puppy’ as the old saying goes. But putting it on their ‘socials’ is nothing short of DISGUSTING with no shame on her part.

    Could robots be taking over your local supermarket? Here’s what Aussies are saying

    Yup, missed that point alright. But my comment about lithium batteries exploding still stands. We seem to be hearing about this event almost everyday - perhaps the smaller batteries have some problem (think scooters having them & catching fire and doing damage to homes). Scary, until they can be...

    'Beyond disgraceful': Controversial shop display sparks fierce debates about symbolism

    Why is there always this ‘send him back to where he came from’ attitude all the time?; just because a surname is not an English sounding name the person may be a third, fourth (or further back) generation person born here. Even his or her parents might be the same. Stop generalising because of...

    'Beyond disgraceful': Controversial shop display sparks fierce debates about symbolism

    If the Nazi symbol can be a form of so called art expression and is banned, then why is this larger than life ‘picture’ window allowed? The owners of those premises should be heavily fined and made to take it down immediately.

    15-year-old's phone captures alleged lewd act on public bus

    I agree with you but, and there is a big BUT. There are many vocations - police, nursing, doctors, psychologists, paramedics etc, to name just a few where the encumbents have to have a ‘calling’ for these occupations/jobs. Not everyone can do a course and be efficient or caring in that job. And...

    15-year-old's phone captures alleged lewd act on public bus

    ‘000’ is for emergencies ONLY. Let’s not jam their telephone lines with other things. This young girl seems to have done the right thing by reporting and sending the photo to police who have acted.
