    What’s one fashion trend you proudly rocked back in the day?

    Hot Pants and knee high boots or white socks. Coming from the UK in 1967 where it was very 'mod' fashion, I shocked prim and proper Melbourne along with my mini skirts.

    Ignore this phone call warning, and you could face massive $1,650 fine!

    I retired almost 20 years ago and almost every day I get scam calls telling me I owe the ATO money and threatening me with legal action. I have never owed the ATO money. I am not surprised when the call comes from an unknown number that others think it is a scam call.

    ‘We couldn’t hold on any longer’: the shocking closure of Australia’s first women’s sports bar

    How could anyone imagine such a concept becoming popular with the majority of women after the initial opening?
