    ‘This is actually breaking my heart’: Rescuers share heart-wrenching details of a wildlife tragedy

    The council should never have covered their trees. Weigh up bird droppings against dead birds. It's a no brainer.

    Is this supermarket finally coming to your state? This plan could transform locals' shopping experience

    Absolute crock of the proverbial. McKim knows very well that Aldi has been asked numerous times to come to Tassie. The reply is always NO. This is political grandstanding at it's best.

    Have you ever encountered this during your flight? Passenger shares bizarre encounter in Jetstar airline

    I gave up flying with Jetstar years ago. Plane delays, not being able to drop bags off until book in time. Lower limits on baggage weight, and generally unhelpful staff.

    Is this the tipping point for electric cars in Australia? Experts weigh in

    After watching the channel 7 tv show Spotlight last night, I wouldn't have an EV if you gave it to me. So called "Clean Green" vehicles that are killing people in Indonesia, poisoning their fishing grounds, and raping the landscape, all to supply dirty Nickel for 90% of the batteries in EV's...

    Community members split over this council's plans towards 'beautiful' trees

    What I would like to know, is who in their right mind would put power lines over trees. Same thing happened in my hometown of Beaconsfield. The council was informed by the power company that the trees were diseased and causing hassles so decided to cut them down. The alarm was raised, and...

    Australian Seniors React to 2025-26 Federal Budget

    Don't forget the generous tax cuts of $5 a week. That's almost a cup of coffee extra.

    Aussie government announces changes to the federal budget! How can seniors benefit from it?

    The Government isn't giving us all this, the taxpayer is. The Government is the one who has driven our living standards down through mismanagement and lack of housing by bringing in 1.5 million immigrants in the past 3 years. Meanwhile, the poor pensioner doesn't even get enough for a carton...

    ‘$3.10 isn't even a litre of milk’: Centrelink recipients slam latest payment increase

    We are using overseas workers to do a lot of jobs because they can't be filled. Perhaps there should be incentives for Australians to fill these jobs, and then our social services bill would go down.

    This man left his wife stranded after he got insulted—was he being unreasonable?

    Depends on how long he was 'acting' for. If my partner started speaking in an acting voice for ages, I would be saying something as well. A little is fine, a continuous monologue would drive anyone crazy.

    Aussie mum outraged: Discover the bizarre trend taking over classrooms that grandparents must know!

    Any child is going to do this if it lets them clown around in school, ignoring the teacher, and getting out of school work. Get a kennel, put it outside, chain the 'furries' up with a bowl of water, and see how many of them still identify as 'furries' after an hour or so of that.

    Clinically proven and watchdog-approved—the anti-wrinkle cream that works

    The eye cream works, however, you can't use it in heat, as your sweat causes it to lose it's tightness. I do however, have a comment about their day and night cream. It comes in a big container, but only a small area at the top holds the cream. The rest is an empty space.

    What is the real cause of Australia's housing woes? Prime Minister Albanese weighs in

    So 444k immigrants didn't affect the housing crisis. What planet is Albo living on.

    Customer faces unexpected cash deposit issue: 'I won't be dealing with them after this'

    I would have immediately gone to the nearest competitor who didn't have these disgusting fees, opened an account, then go back to the ANZ and direct them to transfer my funds to the new bank. Unfortunately, since the banks were deregulated, they can virtually do what they like.

    Could this cruise line be sinking? Aussie woman’s review goes viral

    "Influencers", the only thing they influence is their own ego. What a sad society we have become when so many people follow them. Make up your own mind, don't listen to people who mostly complain just for their audience. After recent reports on 'influencers' who were actually giving people...

    Wildly off-track': Alarming rise in Aussie road deaths sparks urgent call for change

    When you have drivers doing 60kmh in a 100kmh zone, breaking in every corner and ending up with dozens of cars behind them, people become impatient. This practise is becoming increasingly more frequent, and as cars become smarter, it seems the drivers are not following suit. Unless you are a...
