    TV host serves undercooked food to guest in live segment mishap

    Absolutely agree! One of the most underrated musicians in Australia and a truly nice man! Hubby is a session drummer and has played with him a time or two. We’ve also been lucky enough to attend a few of his concerts out here in the bush. What a blast. His voice is sublime. Huge,huge fans of...

    'The car was a piece of s***': Argument ensues over five-digit repair job

    My whole car didn’t cost $12000!!! Holy moly,I’d have dropped dead with shock! What did they fill it with? Liquid gold? My lovely little Mitsubishi runs on the smell of an oily rag,is serviced regularly and rarely costs much. Biggest bill I’ve had was when the fuel pump shat itself. $800 remove...

    Russell Brand finally addressed rape accusations—this could shift everything

    He’s always creeped me out. That man has crazy eyes! Like,not warm and smiling….not inviting. Cold. Crazy. And the first comment here I absolutely agree with. His ego is massive. This is my personal opinion. I don’t know the man at all but I’ve watched him a few times but that’s it. I would not...

    'It gets attention': Aussie MP takes his campaigns online in an 'Australian-first' move

    Veggie,I’m so sorry for your experience but HIV is not limited to just the gay community. Innocent people getting dirty blood can contract it too. Whilst I was initially shocked….even appalled when I first saw this,I can’t help seeing the sense behind it. Get the message out to those who need to...

    Katy Perry’s space adventure sparked a major debate–see both sides of the story

    Waste of money. Yes,she’s brave doing it. Yes she’s a great singer. Did she have to go? Rub fellow Americans nose in it? I’m appalled by the flagrant tossing about of cash when so many Americans are struggling to feed themselves right now. Good on her,but it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

    Channel 7 reporter slams vile comments: ‘It’s just not OK’–Do you agree?

    If you have nothing nice to say,then don’t say anything at all. Simple.

    Campsite cleared with one hour’s notice sparks backlash

    Camping and caravan parks are often as expensive as private rental. Just saying. $300. + per night!

    Epic car park standoff stuns onlookers: 'Grandma is not giving up'

    It can’t be seen,but I wonder if the RAV4 could back up? Maybe there was a car behind her and she was stuck? Just a thought. And if that was the case,then granny was being a dick. If not,the the RAV4 driver was the dick.

    'They are lying’: Single mum blindsided by massive $8,000 Centrelink debt

    She can’t claim rent assistance in govt housing. I’d have thought it was impossible to do. You have to jump through many many hoops to get it and surely someone would have noticed. Plus,her allegations that she saved 20 grand? Then what did she live on,for crying out loud??? After...

    One host's kiss ignites social media fury over personal space

    Bill murray has the manners of a pig. That was an assault,not a kiss.

    She gave birth at 66—here’s why she chose to have a 10th child at such an age

    Oh,my,goodness! A baby at that age? Hell no! As a grandmother of 13, my greatest joy is giving them all back at the end of the day. I love them all to bits,but they’re so much work!

    Did this athlete fake her disease for money? Court reveals verdict over this case

    What a crappy thing to pull. Should be a lifetime ban. Shows a shocking flaw in her character and her conscience.

    Is this new trend a 'red flag'? See why it can spell disaster in weddings

    I’m proud to say,my wedding,back in *gulp* 1978,cost the princely sum of $500.00! And my dad was pissed about spending “so much”! I wore my sisters gown!had the reception at my parents and no honeymoon! Was the best day ever! And we sure didn’t need a sign saying who we were! That’s awful. The...

    'I want my money back': Aussie man shares distressing experience with this bank's customer service

    I understand why the bank initially blocked him but when he came in,identified himself and told them exactly what he wanted,that should have been an end to it. They would have been covered if it turned out to be a scam. He’d had fair warning. They should have released his money.

    Calls for change in laws could reshape final moments for many

    I hope someone has the guts to help me if I’m ever that far gone and in pain. This is not a new thing. My mother was a nurse in the war and she often administered drugs,on doctors orders,that she knew were too high. She never regretted what she did,ever. I have two sisters,both palliative care...

    ‘Draconian’ Pacific nation says goodbye to Facebook

    I’m with you. I’ve seen some appalling things on Facebook and it worries me. If it was better monitored,it wouldn’t be so bad but when you see kids brutally bullied by their peers with absolutely no way of stopping them,no recourse,no one to hit a stop and delete,there’s got to be a better way...

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

    I just have no words. But I think I see her like the pied piper being followed by cats instead of rats.

    'What has this world come to?': Locals clamour over startling mobile billboard making rounds

    Gotta say,it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. We all have to make a buck….upright or on our backs…..however,I wouldn’t want to be the mum explaining the ad to a youngster. Some things don’t need to be explained too early.

    One call, five days, 130 transactions: How a 91-year-old was scammed

    Poor old soul. Where were her family? Who was supposed to be monitoring her finances? Surely someone noticed or should have noticed what was going on. The bank should have halted the card on seeing those multiple charges. She’s 95 for gods sake!
