    Is it unreasonable to exclude one friend from my party?

    Get the left overs OFF THE TABLE before she has a chance to grab what she wants. It is very rude for anyone to take without being offered even if you are in a close family member’s home.

    ‘No one should go to work and be subjected to violence’: Airport incident sparks outrage

    Not every immigrant or overseas visitor to Australia (or our own citizens) should be tarred by the same brush. The majority, when one takes into consideration actual numbers, abide by our laws. Offenders must, however, be dealt with according to our laws and the crime whether they are visitors...

    ‘Please be more considerate’: The photo that has Melbourne shoppers fuming

    It is a very, very selfish act by the offender. Perhaps he didn’t even know what those yellow diagonal lines meant, but no excuse anyway. Owners of ‘private property’ have NO AUTHORITY to fine anyone. Only police can do that and only in the event someone has been hurt as a result. Owners can...

    Millions of Aussies face risk—security expert exposes common mistake

    To add to my comments and clear up a misunderstanding on the $500 car battery and ‘security of my house’ which you thought I was talking about - we have a ‘back-to-base monitoring system’ for our house whose invisible beams spread across every room except our bedroom (there are only 2 of us now...

    Heated clash at supermarket checkout ignites urgent calls for action and safer shopping

    I believe this topic would do well to stop accusing and degrading one another before it gets personal and out of hand. So how about we turn to something else now.

    Heated clash at supermarket checkout ignites urgent calls for action and safer shopping

    No, DLHM, I cannot agree with her/his opinion that only ALL new Australians are/were the professionals from overseas or that dole bludgers and non-professionals are the Australians here - that is not true of Australians. There are many brilliant minds here although we must all admit those...

    The Shocking Reason This Young Man's Death Could Have Been Prevented – Don't Ignore the Deadly Cost of Prescription Hikes!

    Thanks for that one book name. Next time I’m in the shopping centre that has Dymocks I’ll enquire but will also search further on line.

    Heated clash at supermarket checkout ignites urgent calls for action and safer shopping

    No, Veggiepatch, I absolutely do not accept that either. NEVER have, but I wish we could all live as countrymen and humans and respect one another. MOST of the citizens of Australia, black, white, brown yellow are not true Aussies because we are ALL of mixed backgrounds - English, Irish...

    The Shocking Reason This Young Man's Death Could Have Been Prevented – Don't Ignore the Deadly Cost of Prescription Hikes!

    I’m interested - what are the titles & names of authors of these two new books, please? Might be interested in getting one or both.

    Millions of Aussies face risk—security expert exposes common mistake

    It is a normal diesel run 4 wheel drive car. The battery is a RACQ provided battery with longer life. It has nothing to do with my house security - I never said it does. We were advised to lock the doors - the car doors - every night (not the house doors which we lock anyhow). By locking the...

    The Shocking Reason This Young Man's Death Could Have Been Prevented – Don't Ignore the Deadly Cost of Prescription Hikes!

    I have read a book by her (not sure if it has the same title because I bought it during his first term in office). Yes the things I read made me think then the term “Money talks” must be so true. She describes his mentality absolutely to the point of insanity. We definitely live in ‘the lucky...

    The Shocking Reason This Young Man's Death Could Have Been Prevented – Don't Ignore the Deadly Cost of Prescription Hikes!

    And they voted for an idiot to run their country??!!!! The health care system there is shot to pieces (I could use stronger language but kept it down!). If you cannot afford private health cover you just have to go without over there. My heart goes out to the parents and family of this young...

    Millions of Aussies face risk—security expert exposes common mistake

    We recently needed to have our car battery replaced after 10 years at a cost of $500!. The RACQ guy advised that we lock the doors every night before going to sleep - his advice was that if we don’t do that the ‘computerised system is wondering what to do’ and that is a contributor to bringing...

    Aussie shoppers switch to alternatives for this seafood staple

    Check the labelling for country or origin, then. Simple.

    Heated clash at supermarket checkout ignites urgent calls for action and safer shopping

    One comment here about the person’s name is quite unacceptable. I’m not sure if it was meant in jest or was for real, but that is not right. I came here in 1965 with Robert Menzies as PM; my skin is white but my husband’s skin is a fair bit browner than mine. That PM wanted a letter from me to...
