    'Did you know it was illegal?': Little known vehicle rule confuses Aussie woman

    I think it is hypocritical we are told to pull over off the road if we are tired and yet councils are telling us it illegal and you can be fined.

    Discover the shocking mix-up that led two couples to raise each other's daughters – How did they solve this unbelievable IVF error?

    You can understand the lawsuit because if you go through the expense of the procedure, then you are going to get what you paid for (your child) and not someone else's child. Imagine what would have happened had one of those children had a disability?

    Beware - Everyday Rewards scam

    No I disagree with you. Just because someone is not thinking straight does not mean they deserve being scammed and they certainly do not deserve to lose everything. Scammers are nothing more than thieves, so by your logic, it is ok to steal as long as it is from vulnerable people. Does that make...

    I can only say this not all females are gold diggers and not males are sexual predators. There is the other side of the coin to look at, even if consent is given it does not mean that either party cannot withdraw that consent for whatever reason, during the act of either just intimate contact or...
