    You won't believe what this Australia Post worker did: Queensland woman outraged by 'unacceptable' parking act

    I am all about getting those using disabled parking spots getting their just dues, but I get very annoyed by spaces near shopping centres reserved for mothers with prams. These are not illegal for others to park in but why does a young (usually) person with a pram get priority. They are not...

    What are your best AND worst purchases?

    Worse purchase would have to be an entire set of Encyclopedia Britannica, just months before the introduction of these volumes on CD was a new thing. My kids never used them. They are in mint condition, except for the dust they are collecting. If only I could go back. Best purchase, my home...

    A 70-year-old driver claims 'bad intentions' after receiving $603 parking fine

    I'm not sure either of those photos relate to this incident. One is showing a disabled parking spot, not necessarily the white car being in the wrong, and the other the actual symbol to watch out for. Unfortunately kindness is not a legal excuse.

    Significant passport changes could save you valuable time - Find out details here!

    Hopefully they have a lot of security and checks in place. I am not convinced this will be safe.

    Shopper's ‘devastating’ discovery in Woolworths meat tray prompts concerns about food industry transparency

    Disappointing maybe, but hardly devastating. I cant see why this large chunk of fat wasnt noticeable through the original packaging. It was not a large tray. Take it back to the store and get a refund. End of story, move on. Mishaps happen, even to those with good intentions.

    Australians lost more than $3bn to scammers in 2022. Here are 5 emerging scams to look out for

    The authorities in some of these places where the scam originates are taking kickbacks. They dont want this lucrative industry to stop as they are doing quite well out of our naievity. We need the proper businesses and governments to do more. They can but they dont. Until then, these...

    Popular chocolate bars are getting a major makeover – are your favourite treats affected?

    It great idea, but hopefully it doesnt result in an even smaller chocolate bar. They are definitley not worth the money at the moment.

    Can vinegar help you live longer? Discover the surprising benefits

    So did I Suzanne Rose and yes, it was part of a program that I was on and did have great effects on my weight. With the program as well though. I might start again myself. The initial gag was a beauty though. ;) ;) ;) :oops:

    Beware: Study reveals ‘superbugs’ in supermarket meat!

    More scaremongering. If we relied less on getting antibiotics when feeling slightly unwell, the resistance of these bugs to them would be less. And as stated if we handle the products correctly then the chances of this happening is reduced. We need bugs in our lives to build our immunity...

    Molly Meldrum's latest incident leaves fans shocked and concerned – his family insists he has a ‘dedicated support system in place’

    His current behaviour is what he will become known for. He has done so much for the Australian music industry and it would be so sad to see it all dissolve because he, or those around him, cant control his actions. There would be signs from him that those close to him should pick up on when he...

    What lurks above Kmart's toy aisles? The 'hidden' discovery you need to see

    Not ok. And riding the bikes and playing with the balls also. These stores are not a playground and should not be treated as such.

    Do you do this too? An ALDI worker reveals the customer habit that leaves them shocked!

    I dont like it. Checking grapes, perhaps. But I find giving kids yoghurts to eat annoying. It teaches the child that they are allowed to do this and if they cant wait till they get in the car, or home, then snacks should be brought from home to satisfy their desperate need for food. It is an...

    Flight attendant faces outrageous treatment from 'drunk' sports fans mid-flight

    I think there are some young women these days who would do the same thing. It is just about disrespecting someone, not really about their gender. Being drunk is not an excuse, but they were not physically abusive. It would be nice if these behaviours didnt happen, but the world is a long way...

    Dingo mauls toddler in national park

    Dingoes are wild animals. they are not domesticated dogs. A small child would see them as a dog so it is up to the parent to be aware. Kids get away from you quickly so it is hard at times to do that, but safety in remote areas should be the main thought. I dont see killing this animal as the...

    A small detail in this Coles photo has customers fuming: 'Happens every day'

    Harking back on my supermarket days, it was and obviously still is a massive problem. Food wastage is a nightmare. But expecting overworked workers to spot these products before they are ruined is an impossible mission. I did the closing shift three nights a week and was often on my own for...

    This much-loved Aussie treat just got a lot more expensive at Coles and Woolies!

    It is the world we live in unfortunately. Things are definitely getting more expensive, and smaller in size. But we should remember also that wages are a lot higher than they were years ago too. It is all relatively really.

    Shocking Scam Alert: Fake Death Announcement of Sunrise Host David Koch Used to Lure Victims into Cryptocurrency Scam!

    Why are people still not seeing the red flags. I never trust or respond to advertisements these days as I assume they are all scams. If I find one that is interesting, I will try and find the original advertiser and go from there. But I seriously doubt that in this time of multiple scams...

    Say Goodbye to Third Party Debt Collectors: Centrelink Takes Control with Major Overhaul!

    Badly handled and executed. A third party should never have been appointed and a more thorough check should have been done before these letters were sent out. I too am lucky I never had this stress. I feel for those who do.
