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

    If it is safety first I fully agree to the banning of these batteries and power banks. But where do you place them if you are going on a long-haul flight? If in your checked bags, then surely, even though not under compression as in the passenger compartment, wouldn’t the battery still...

    Avoid danger zone: Uncover changes on this notorious Aussie road!

    I must say that at a speed of 80 kph it would not be a very visible sign ON the road. Would it not be better to have a really huge upright sign on the road’s edge rather than a sign on the roadway? Without light, other than the cars headlights, one would not see a sign in time if it was flat on...

    Aussie home faces restrictions for decades, discover disturbing trend responsible!

    Many of you call it scare-mongering as so many also claim ‘climate change’ is rubbish and also scare-mongering. I, for one, will adapt my usage of water to save it, not waste it. Flooding cannot be controlled in an instant - building the facilities to save all that water takes time AND money...

    Will Aussie drivers face heftier fines soon? Here are some changes drivers need to know

    Do you wish to be kept safe on the road either as a driver or a pedestrian? If so, don’t complain about fines. You do the right thing and it won’t affect you.

    Proposed Federal Budget includes updates for pensioners. See how this can affect the senior community

    We are lucky that we do not get a pension as our combined assets are over the threshold. However, to all the respondents here who have some grievance (and I mean legitimate grievance) over their interactions with CentreLink (or the lack of response from CentreLink) may I suggest a letter...

    Bunnings customer suffers from injury after a sudden, 'excessive' attack

    I just love all the information you have given here from a police point of view and what you obviously witnessed during your career. I agree that our justice system is weak, weak, weak. I worked in a police headquarters job for 14 years - although it was in an administration role, but I have...

    Bunnings customer suffers from injury after a sudden, 'excessive' attack

    Absolutely agree with every one of your comments. Forced drug use (done to one by another person) is different but when one knowingly and willingly takes drugs or drinks to the point of being ‘totally out to it’ is no excuse for their actions. Our justice system needs to ‘buck’ up and hand out...

    There’s a new scheme catching people off guard⁠—are YOU at risk?

    I had exactly the same thing happen four times today. We don’t use McAfee and never have. Something suspicious there.

    ‘$3.10 isn't even a litre of milk’: Centrelink recipients slam latest payment increase

    Do not be so personal and critical of another on this site - I doubt you know every aspect of why he is/has been on JobSeeker. Not everyone is in your boat. Some, through no fault of their own, could be in a boat that is sinking while you ‘appear’ to be floating well above the stormy seas. I see...

    ‘Just googled vabbing and now I wish I hadn’t’: Why this trend has people disgusted

    She needs to go in the bin herself!! Gross, disgusting, revolting etc, etc, etc. - please can anyone else add to my words of disgust - I hope we can find every possible disgusting word to put to her actions. What? Putting something like this on social media ?!?! Trying to be a ‘filthy...

    Chicken nuggets keto style

    Thanks, but I won’t be going down that aisle for some! Never needed to look for canned chicken and won’t be doing so in the foreseeable future. Sounds gross.

    The secret behind Cadbury's chocolate mystery has been revealed – Find out now!

    I wish! No just two little ones — perhaps a bit more exercise might do the weight trick (down, not up!).
