    Kmart shoppers share distressing sights in several stores: 'F****** grubs!'

    And there are so many ON THIS SITE who object to security cameras in stores!?!? Go figure - objection when things like this happen and ultimately prices go up and we all have to pay, then the whingeing starts all over again. Perhaps it’s time we examined our own consciences about objecting to...

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

    My goodness- we are hearing so many incidents of sick and violent people these days. I just hope this young girl’s quick thinking by getting her camera out can see this vile idiot brought to justice. If she managed to get his face on camera he will eventually be found.

    📧 The "Fake Tech Support" Scam 🚨

    So did I, on my mobile. Have also been getting calls supposedly from 03 numbers. We do not know anyone in Victoria so those calls are just allowed to ring out. Almost every day we get these calls and the last digit or two seem to vary. Once I tried ringing back to see who would pick up the other...

    'Charity is just a big business': Aussies outraged over op shops' price hikes

    In the past op shops were set up for the poor and prices were very affordable for the less fortunate. Unfortunately, I have seen very well dressed people (mostly women) buying the cheaper priced but well looked after items. It is pretty obvious that they don’t need these items which could be...

    Abuse of OFFICIAL RULES/REGULATIONS does not mean “we are becoming a police state”.

    'Did you know it was illegal?': Little known vehicle rule confuses Aussie woman

    No, a driveway usually extends to the edge of the kerb at the road. You are responsible, as a home owner, for maintenance of the footpath area even though that section is legally council land. From the front BOUNDARY to the back and side boundaries of your property is YOUR land and you can do...

    Beware - Everyday Rewards scam

    I agree with you - there is little harm done by warning us of all the various methods scammers are using now. It is probably difficult for an innocent victim to understand what is a scam and what is genuine and some on their own (especially women) feel frightened when they are threatened that...

    Joke ''Thar She Blows''!

    And many adults as well! Spelling and correct use of similar sounding words is atrocious in Australia.

    Are You Brave Enough? This Woman is Moving in with a Guy She Met Only 3 Weeks Ago!

    Each to his own, I say. It’s not for us to decide. I met my husband when I was 14 and still in school, we got engaged when I was 20, I moved to Australia with the rest of my 6 siblings & my parents at almost 21. My mother would often tell me to look for someone else as she didn’t believe he...

    Millionaire says ‘we aren’t in a cost of living crisis’—but is he right?

    What savings? - it’s all on the ‘never, never’, the credit card is what I’m referring to. We got $2 A MONTH for each of our kids (called Child Endowment in those days) we saved for everything big we needed for our first home, and paid 17% interest rate on the loan for our home. My husband & I...

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

    Then their lithium ion batters will fire off by themselves and we will have multiple cars catching fire as a result. Don’t like this idea at all - and it takes away jobs.

    Authorities arrest content creator for scandalous actions towards her pets

    Sick, Sick, Sick. That’s all I can say about her. Then why was this sick act (& others she claims to have uploaded) not taken down by the platform it was on? They should also face some charges, hefty charges, for allowing it to be shared on THEIR platform.

    Disturbing revelations spark calls for urgent superannuation reforms

    Always put everything in writing either by email or post and keep copies of your correspondence and their replies, as evidence. Make sure all dates are on both sets of correspondence. You may have a slightly better outcome as against phone calls you may not be able to prove were made or received.

    Prevent tax debts from denting your savings! ATO releases updates and reminders about overdue taxes

    Perhaps everyone should stop grumbling and blaming the ATO for their own inefficiencies. If money is owed, pay up and smile even though that smile might be a bit hard to do.

    If you have the brains, the initiative to take on a political role, become a minister and get the wages that go with the job, go ahead and you can buy a luxurious home by the sea or wherever you want it as well. Minister Wong may also have been the benefactor of her mothers estate. Don’t be envious!

    Flight Nightmare: These Virgin Australia Passengers Missed Their Dream Cruise to New Zealand!

    Leave the day before, overnight in a motel & you will be sure to continue your holiday. Important to also have some travel insurance cover for this possible situation. Spending $10,000 is a lot of money so the pittance for insurance cover would be worthwhile. The airline needs to take some...
