As a high school student in the 1960s I had braces onmy teeth. My parents had to pay for these in installments. This is still the method used by at least some orthodontists

Not only WA Govt. but the Commonwealth don't hesitiate to spend funds on unnecessary often luxury items, many bought from overseas. Such a project is lifesaving and would cost less than more permanent beds in a hospital. There needs to be a few trained staff to care for patients between...

There is a couple of places that take "dead" batteries. Some security companies with vehicles only use them for a very short time, take them to a company that re-cycles them -tests, service and re-fills them equivalent to new batteries at a much lower price. I know businesses and private...

Suspended sentence. How many lives were put at risk?? There have been so many warnings about the danger and laws relating to this. I hope he received a very heavy fine and was put on a very long behaviour bond. The Police would definitely have confiscated his illegal gear but he will probably...

In a lot of cases tenants pay the water bill in addition to their rent. It encourages them not to waste water but they can't be expected to pay for the water used to maintain the garden. I would have thought some of the increase would go towards increased council rates, land tax and other Govt...

What about people who have people movers because it is impossible to fit 3 items of child safety equipment of any type? Yes, the width is the issue. Thankfully most have rear seat area sliding doors. You can barely fit 3 in a very old model Commodore jammed in against each other and almost...

A friend of mine often says "you can't help stupid". Anybody with a brain would consider the weight of the timber vs their own weight.

Typical journalism. I wonder if the report is correct or take out of context. They have to make everything sensational.

Stop speculating and upsetting people. The media has a lot to answer for in interfering in peoples' lives. That included the media in Australia - going back to the 1940s. What's worse some hack Police radios and report reports faster than next-of-kin can be informed of an incident or accident.

Has SDC got nothing better to do than stir up and cause disrespect and arguments?? I hope this article is not going to be repeated either.

If you have any phone contact with Centrelink at all, always ask for a reference number, the person's name and also write down the date and time. Always save written or emailed information. If they "lose it" you've got a record of it.

At Bathurst in the Motorsport area there have been many delays while wildlife is taken to a safe location., including echidnas waddling along a wall, once a snake and kangaroos encouraged to move to a safe area. Officials wave Red Flags and the drivers very slowly go back to the pits until it is...

It is ok if you have a big back yard and are prepared to sacrifice some garden area

I'm sure many families have issues. They aren't public figures so the are not publicised

why or way. School beginners are given reading, then spelling and writing added. Some children that is the way of determining whether or not the child needs extra help. I personally know one Mum who approached the school about concerns she had of the level of her daughter's ability. The teacher...

This should NEVER have been released by the media. What is reported is not always correct either. Had the Adelaide media been taken to court in the 1940s they would not have been happy.

We had hens for many years. Dad put up a modified garden shed. He left a section with no wall at the top and filled it with "bird wire" so not stray cats or birds could get in it. He gave them a big section of yard. The door of the "chook house was closed at night for their safety and opened...

The NSW Government has "passed the buck" because they don't want to take responsibility for "going back on their word". Did the NSW Govt. offer to buy the property?

I would give them both penalties. That is equivalent of attempted murder. I wonder if it is a patient with a grudge.

Life is tough especially if you don't know the reason or didn't see the signs which some easily hide. My Mum passed away exactly 2 months after her 90th birthday. I think I dislike birthdays and Christmas most. Her Great Granddaughter didn't miss her after a few months but she was only 2 y.o.
