    Aussies shocked over trial beachside fee: 'Why should we have to pay?'

    That's absolutely disgusting! Next we'll have to pay for breathing fresh air. Mornington Peninsular Council has some very high end properties there and therefore the Council is reaping in hefty rates, they are just a very greedy Council forcing people to find a different beach to frequent with...

    Rural Migration Hits Five-Year Peak, Proclaimed as the 'best decision'!

    My husband and I moved from suburban Victoria to a rural property in East Gippsland 14 years ago and it was most definitely the best move we've ever made. It's so peaceful, the native birdlife and other native animals like echidna, wombats, kangaroos and wild ducks as well as deer and...

    ‘It doesn’t make sense’ Shocking update on a Cadbury price mystery sparks outrage!

    Woolworths faces lawsuit for allegedly exploiting workers with shift changes

    Firstly, a business is entitled to run in the most efficient way choose.

    Woolworths CEO speaks out on self-service checkout issue

    Mr Banducci must think we are all stupid and gullible. Hired more personal shoppers to cater for online orders? Maybe, but you can never find a staff member to help while you are navigating the aisles looking for items. And NO, I refuse to use self serve checkouts, I expect a significant...

    Coles, Woolworths, IGA and ALDI affirm stance on supermarket self-serve checkouts

    Self serve or manned checkouts, people will always complain about them or lack thereof. Personally I will NEVER use them. If the store wants me to scan and pack my own shopping instead of them paying staff to do it for me, then I want a staff discount thanks

    Are your favourite snacks and treats now considered luxuries? Here's why many Australians are dramatically cutting back!

    In theory your ideas work well, BUT having been on a Carer's Pension while my husband was alive and on the Age Pension we were able to live frugally but well with budgeting.

    American takes a jab at Aussie parties and says to ‘skip the cheap part’

    This Yank should get in the real world. The cost of alcohol is ridiculously high. The host provides the venue, music, food and nibblies and in some cases a swimming pool, spa or sauna, you bring yourself and the alcohol. My message to this American is please don't come to my party, you are a...

    Overseas supermarkets ditched self-checkouts—should Coles, Woolworths, and ALDI follow suit?

    I never have and never will use self serve checkouts. They take jobs from people and sadly gone are the days when the first job many kids had the opportunity of having was working after school and weekends at the big supermarkets. If self serve checkouts become the norm I will only shop online...
