    Coles Discount Tag Error Exposes Pricing Discrepancy on Oreo Mini Biscuits!

    With thousands (?) of items on the shelves, occasional mistakes are to be expected. The responsible thing to do would be to bring the error to the attention of Supermarket staff, NOT broadcast it to thousands of people on social media.

    International pressure increases as shocking footage reveals gruesome whaling tradition

    As Mikkelsen says: ‘It's much easier to hide what's happening in your own backyard just by pointing to others,’ which is just what he is doing. This article doesn't describe exactly how the whales are being killed but stabbing in the spine with a metal spike doesn't sound very humane. The Faroes...

    Floods of nutrients from fertilisers and wastewater trash our rivers. Could offsetting help?

    Very likely that this kind of pollution in Northern Queensland rivers is killing the GBR, not climate change. Add a lot of oil from car and boat exhaust residue and it makes a pretty toxic mix for the poor marine organisms. I have never understood why so-called reef scientists seem never to have...

    The Jaw-Dropping Cost of Queen Elizabeth II's Funeral Will Leave You Speechless

    There is far too much emphasis on COST associated with the Royal Family and Royal events but no mention of the VALUE of the Monarchy to the country. The foreign income, tourist revenue, souvenir industry, television rights, etc, etc that Britain derives as a direct result of the Monarchy...

    Shoppers Sound Off on Woolworths' ‘Serious Problem’ - Sustainable Solution or Flimsy Disaster?

    That picture of a torn bag shows the sharp corners of a stiff carton which is a sure way of tearing the bag. We need to be more careful about how we pack them. Paper is a much better option than plastic. We just need to learn how to manage them.

    Card Fees When Paying Registration

    That list of card processing fees are all about 0.54% - pretty commonplace for card fees these days. The rate for a 12 month registration renewal is the same as for a learner permit test online I believe 1.5% is the maximum allowable. Visa is a business and is entitled to charge for the services...

    90-year-old Australian grandmother scammed out of $100,000 in the latest IT-based con - Learn how to stay safe

    Do I understand this correctly - Brenda went into a branch of the bank where a bank officer helped her transfer $50,000 to another account? It's disappointing they didn't delve deeper into how and why the need for this transaction came about; nor to confirm that the 'to' account was a legitimate...

    Authorities crack down on telcos for allowing scammers to infiltrate SMS networks

    Add desirable phone numbers - family, friends and business associates - to your contacts so you know who is calling. Don't answer the phone if you don't recognise the number. If it's important, they will leave a message. If you don't recognise the number, you probably don't want to talk to them...

    Shoppers taking matters into their own hands: Is it okay to steal from supermarkets amid the cost-of-living crisis?

    It may be that some people think that's a great idea and jump on that bandwagon. It's totally irresponsible to be suggesting such idiotic things.
