    Samantha Mostyn appointed Australia's next Governor-General

    There are many other more deserving people who could fill this post. As usual it is someone involved with sport, specifically the AFL(VFL). Why do we give these important roles to people whose main reason for being asked is that they were high up in footy. Yes she has been involved in business...

    Aussie drivers outraged with this 'selfish' parking mistake

    The most annoying parking errors made by selfish people are: parking in a disabled spot and then even with granny’s permit a healthy person getting out and running into the shops. So selfish and against the law. It has to be YOUR permit, or the person in the car with you. And number two parking...

    Beware of ‘shrinkflation’: How to spot subtle rip-offs at the supermarket before it's too late!

    Absolutely! Just look at Cottes Jams. The volume has decreased markedly while the price remains the same. My older jars have a much higher volume. It’s a total ripoff. Biscuits are frequently more expensive for the same product than before. And despite farmers getting less than a dollar a kilo...

    Tourist's frustration brews over Aussie cafés’ early closing hours

    Not all cafes close at 2pm. Those who do the early morning trade tend to close between 2-3.30pm. But I also know many cafes in malls that are open until 4-4:30pm. You can have a cafe experience in some restaurants who serve sweet items as well as even breakfast things until they set up for...

    Dreading footy season? You’re not alone – 20% of Australians are self-described sport haters

    The big problem is that footy doesn’t go away for 6 months anymore. It starts in March and ends in October and is followed by inane commentators who can barely speak English continuing with postmortems on who did what and why and who should have done something else. Then comes the preseason...

    Frustrated dad’s shocking ‘state’-ment starts online debate—‘we were just sick of it’

    And I thought people were ridiculous in SA about shop hours. You can always find a supermarket open until 7-9 pm on weekdays and 5pm on weekends. When I was little shops opened 9-5 Mon- Fri and 9-12 pm on Saturday. There was usually a corner deli selling a selection of things in case of...

    UK reveals truth behind viral rumours of King Charles' ‘death’

    Only if an announcement was placed on a stand behind a glass cover just inside the gates of Buckingham Palace would there be any truth in such an announcement. This is the normal way things are done along with an announcement by the Palace and in such a case by the Prime Minister. The fact that...

    Outraged guest reveals bride's shocking wedding charge: 'She is out of her mind!'

    Under no circumstances attend even the ceremony. Perhaps when she finds that no one is coming to her wedding she will think again, She can obviously afford to pay for a nice small wedding with family and friends and if done right it doesn’t cost thousands. Cut out all the “in” rubbish and gifts...

    Is your adult child asking for rent money? See why this mum is outraged by her daughter's 'ungrateful' request

    In these days where adult children with jobs decide to return home to live because it’s cheaper I strongly feel that as they are earning a wage and have already passed into adulthood and have a job, they should pay their parents for letting them stay with them and feed them. I have no doubt that...

    Media executive warns of Meta decision’s ‘devastating impact’ on Aussies

    It’s an absolute disgrace that this is allowed! It is a total invasive of privacy and apart from knowing if a car driver is falling asleep is totally unnecessary and unacceptable!

    This government won’t deport illegal immigrants who have managed to get classified as refugees simply because they don’t agree with the policies of those criminals original counties. Now they have let well over 100 with criminal records lose in our society and although 27 have offended...

    Joke The best thing

    Too true. We had fun, played outside and actually spoke to people in person. There were far fewer mental health issues because humans need contact with each other and not text messages over a device. There is no warmth in a text compared to a hug hello and a chat over a cuppa! No one ever...

    Why does this obscure policy at Woolies infuriate shoppers?

    I’ve never only shopped once a week for fresh foods. That is a twice or three times a week job. It’s the only way to get fresh foods like fruit that is still nice by weeks’ end. With shops open 7 days a week what is the problem? Have the modern parents made their lives so busy that one of them...

    Identifying AI made easier: Meta rolls out new measures for AI-generated tools

    Facebook has become a tool for the woke and leftists. I can’t post an opinion that doesn’t match their beliefs without it being removed immediately. I don’t think they even read the comments fully. It just looks for key words and if it finds one it deletes anything you have said. I have found...
