    Breaking: Wade Robson's impending court battle with Michael Jackson's estate

    These poor boys, allegedly abused by Jackson, need to heal. I dont believe making headlines again is doing this for them. It is just keeping their wounds open. Perhaps it is compensation they are after, but I believe it is closure rather than money that will do the most for them.

    Revealed: Why KFC is refusing to raise prices like other businesses

    I doubt they are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, but more in the knowledge that fast food is the first thing people stop buying when times are tough. If they sound generous, then they are appealing to those who think this is a good thing. Good on them though for not gouging...

    Revealed: How Australia's biggest ever tax fraud scam went down

    Their greed was eventually their undoing. It never pays to get to full of your own importance. What a waste of some very intelligent people. Money was definitely the root of their evil and they are paying the ultimate price, hopefully.

    Twisties set to release exciting new flavour: ‘Unlike any chip you've tried before’

    This is why the ever faithful fantail is disappearing. (I'm not thinking about the aging machinery here though.) These companies are trying too hard to offer different flavours. Stick with what most people love and leave the cinnamon flavour to the doughnuts.

    New odometer check cracks down on shady car dealers

    Why do we still have a situation where each state has its own regulations. We are one country and this should be the same in every state. We need national regulations on these matters.

    Queensland retiree's home destroyed by out-of-control butcher's truck

    Not sure you could ever insure yourself against idiots who drive into your home, but having insurance definitely gives you peace of mind if the worst does happen. Well done Suzanne Rose, your insurance was a winner.

    Can you believe the amount of fresh produce Aussie supermarkets are rejecting? Find out why!

    Unfortunately in the 'need to be perfect' world, even the fruit and veggies are included. It is our attitudes to the look of things that has caused this. We are only now starting to realise that it doesnt matter what it looks like, as long as it is fresh and good quality. But like taking your...

    End of an era: Nestle discontinues iconic Fantales chocolate after 93 years

    Such a shame. Trouble is there are too many choices these days with more and more being introduced to tempt us so some of the favourites are left off the shopping list to try the others. Probably also more costly to have to wrap each lolly so the less labour intensive ones are winning. I'll...

    Government agency warning! Turbo-charged scammers are using AI voice clones to steal from you! Protect yourself now!

    This is so disturbing. I understand technology has to get better, I guess, but it also opens up more doors for criminals to take our hard earned money. Not sure why AI is necessary when it is possible to rip off unsuspecting people. We should try to stop making it easier for scammers and find...

    Unlock the secret to saving thousands by understanding this one food label!

    My grandparents owned and milked a cow. It is one on my many memories spending holidays with them and drinking the freshly collected milk. Still warm and frothy. Not sure how I would go these days.

    Is your grandchild's life at risk? Alarming 'Tap Out' challenge sweeping schools and social media

    Is going cashless taking away your freedom? Find out how businesses face consumer boycotts

    I recently booked a doctor's appointment online and had to enter my card details before they accepted the appointment. They charged me a card levy and also a processing fee. And that's before I actually see the doctor. Not happy about that. It is too expensive now to even need to see the doctor.

    Brazen act by Coles customer: 'I'm a bad man'

    In jest or not, it is not ok. The theft of baskets, and trolleys too, is a big problem for supermarkets. If he remembers to bring that basket back each time he shops then that would be a little better, but I'm sure he would need a new basket each time. And then where do all those baskets end...

    What one shopper found on Coles' shelves left them fuming

    These products are never returned to the meat, or dairy cases. They are written off as loss. I worked for Coles for almost 12 years and this is a very common problem caused by laziness and thoughtlessness. I could write a book on what I have seen over the years but I am aiming to use my...
