So if biometrics is what banks want this can affect a lot of peope in ways they are not considering, As a senior I sometimes need a friend to do some shopping for me. I give her my card (she already knows my PIN as she has power of attorney for me), she does my shopping & pays with card. If...

You should be travelling at least 3 car lengths from the car in front; 1 car lengtth is too close to stop in an emergency. The length also increases as you increase speed. But, as a guide, 3 car lengths is approx 50 metres which is about 10 car lengths,

That was your bad driving that caused the accident. Why were you distracted? Looking at your phone by any chance? Keep you eyes & mind on the road & you will reduce the risk of tailgaiting the car on front.

I'll say it again - the quickest way to get more nurses on the floor is to return training to hospitals, not university. Maybe it could be a 2 layer system in the hospitals & call the hospital trained (the same training that was in existence before uni training came about) nurses could be...

I never enter my PIN until I see the amount on the screen of the bank's machine. I have never had an experience like this but the story doesn't ring true anyway. There is no reason why the attendant would have entered an amount like that. I get my docket & check before leaving the store that...

Never heard of him so wonder how you get the headline "universally loved". These headines are getting more OTT all the time.

No, I do not have a doctor I can see at an hour's notice. I wait days/weeks for an appt but I trust the doctor to know the correct treatment, not the pharmacist. Try living in rural Australia where we have to continually put up with doctors not staying in the towns because "there is no night...

So instead of being able to pop in to the pharmacy to get prescriptions quickly filled & on your way we will soon have to wait for long periods for this service. I am definitely not in favour of our chemists trying to become our doctors. Doctors spend many more years training for their...

It was the same in the 1950s when I got my licence to ride my motor scooter. There was no requirement of a number of hours on "L" plates or anything else. Know the road rules & ride that short distance while someone stood on the footpath & watched you.

Never heard of him so can't have been much of a legend,

I don't think the changes will have a lot of effect on deliberate overdoses as someone can easily obtain a large supply just by shopping around.

I knew this was coming so I have been stockpiling a large supply so that I don't have to deal with this nonsense for quite some time. I need to take Panadol on a regular basis for my arthritis & the thought of having to drive a long way to replenish my supply (added cost of petrol to do so)...

No. I will not spend more doing the job the govt is supposed to do i.e. building power stations to provide reliable electricity to everyone at a reasonable cost. Now they want us to "build the power stations" on our rooftops & pay a pittance for the electricity which we add to the grid. With...

It's about time the NDIS had more checks & balances on it. Way too many people have accessed this programme with little if any follow up over the years to see that they still need this assistance from the rest of us. There appears to be little need for participants to prove that they need some...

I am a dog lover with 2 small dogs which love to go out in the car. However, if I intend going to my local cafe for a coffee then they either stay at home or we sit in the outdoor area where they are away from other customers. The only problem with this is, if I am on my own, there is no way I...

Just what I was going to say. Nothing new here, If I use an ATM - any ATM - I always cover my hand so that if there is a hidden camera checking my action it cannot read my PIN.

NO! NOO! NOOOOO! Leave the idiot in America where stupid people heard him say what he intended to do but either were not "listening" or chose to ignore & now they are sorry they voted for him. Four years of disaster coming for USA (quite probably a lot more than 4 years as he intends to be a...

We do not need to do the same in Australia. This sort of behaviour from senior "polliticians" is my main reason for voting against Australia becoming a republic. Our form of govt has worked well for hundreds of years & really does not need to be changed.

Why, oh why, do you make us read all the way to the end to find out the name of the person referred to in your headlines. I am becoming so fed up with this way of presenting news to us that I am seriously considering leaving.

Please explain how this sign is deceptive. It is quite clear to my mind. You have to pay $12 to take your vehicle onto the beach. Simple. It could only appear deceptive to the semi-literate younger generation who have difficulty reading anything if it is not accompanied by pictures.
