    Who's behind it? Anonymous Australia Day act that's winning hearts locally and on social media

    I stand by my opinions which I have, as you have yourself said, a right to do. They are based on personal experience, to which you have laid no claim. One of the things that makes America an angry country, is the insistence on labelling everyone politically. It's counterproductive and totally...

    Who's behind it? Anonymous Australia Day act that's winning hearts locally and on social media

    I do agree. But wouldn't you say multiculturalism is negative? It was thought to be great, and it was until cultures arrived who have no intention of assimilating.

    Who's behind it? Anonymous Australia Day act that's winning hearts locally and on social media

    When the truth is, they fulfil none of the criteria necessary for nationhood.

    Who's behind it? Anonymous Australia Day act that's winning hearts locally and on social media

    You know absolutely nothing about me so I fail to see how you consider yourself qualified to assess my character. Let me set you straight: the reason I wrote about the pygmy peoples was in reply to the previous comment saying that the Aborigines were the colonisers of Australia. They were...

    Who's behind it? Anonymous Australia Day act that's winning hearts locally and on social media

    The history of almost every country in the world is one of conquest and colonisation. The current Aborigines did not discover Australia. When they arrived here, they found Australia was populated by a race of pygmy people. They were completely eradicated by those we now call Aborigines...

    Celebrity conundrum: These fake endorsements can rob you of your money!

    The best I've seen is an alleged conversation on Fox News between Paul Murray and Mark Latham. Mark Latham had this wonderful investment plan that he wanted to share with the world. Now, at the time, and this may still be the case, Mark Latham was banned from Fox News, so I knew it was a scam...

    Is your 'organic' food really organic? Shoppers are being misled—here’s what you need to know

    It seems to me that the entire Australian advertising industry needs a shake-up. I know it's off topic, but is anyone else being bombarded with ads for a room air conditioner invented by 'a clever university student' from Melbourne? Apparently, the university he attended was too poor to afford...

    This woman's insane reaction during an Aussie storm is breaking the internet!

    Speaking of Aussie resilience and nonchalance, I have a story. When the Newcastle earthquake struck, our neighbours were concerned about the husband's grandmother who was well into her 90s and still living alone in her own home. The family piled into the car and made their way to her home in...

    Scammer dupes French woman into sending A$1.4 million after fake Brad Pitt romance scam

    Look, it's a fact that people become attracted to someone in the first instance by their appearance. I sometimes watch a YouTube programme called 'Scamfish'. It's an American programme that specialises in investigating international romance scams. Most of the people who appear on the show are...

    Facial recognition trial at this tournament raises eyebrows, divides fans and experts

    People can see how this can be misused. I see that possibility quite clearly, but considering the state the world's in, I reluctantly agree with the use of facial recognition technology. It seems to me to be the lesser of two evils and I believe that's what many people think.

    Channel Nine host encounters one dangerous animal in the wild! How is he?

    Dear god! When we were kids, the adults would say, 'Stop whinging and put some wet sand on it.' Why are people so soft these days?!

    ‘Nowhere to hide’: Fire expert’s chilling warning for Australian suburbs

    Speaking of the IPCC, in 2017, the woman in charge, whose name escapes me, said on the record, that the climate change agenda has nothing to do with the environment. She said it's about the necessity of controlling energy worldwide, hidden behind the touchy feely announcement that third world...

    ‘Nowhere to hide’: Fire expert’s chilling warning for Australian suburbs

    Don't bother. I've studied both sides of the debate in depth over the last ten years. I was a climate change believer until I decided to leave the bubble and do something scary: study the other side. What I discovered was the lengths the WEF, the UN and their lackeys the mainstream media will...

    Sunrise's star's vacation turned horror: Discover his shocking medical ordeal

    And I'd bet my house that you didn't do it on a skiing holiday in Switzerland. 😂😂

    Sunrise's star's vacation turned horror: Discover his shocking medical ordeal

    Dear god! Is that all?! I thought someone had suffered something serious. Anyone who can afford to holiday in the Swiss Alps at the height of the season can afford the best in medical care and help with daily living, unlike most other Aussie mums who have to do the best they can with much less...

    ‘Nowhere to hide’: Fire expert’s chilling warning for Australian suburbs

    While nobody denies the climate is changing, in the last two days, I have read an article and seen a video explaining why this is not affecting the frequency and scale of bushfires. The thing is, Earth's climate has been changing for the 3-4 billion years it's been in existence, and will...

    McDonald's faces backlash over unsanitary conditions, calls for better food safety

    Broadmeadow is a suburb of Newcastle. My family's eaten at that Maccas probably a dozen or so times, but not for at least 15 years. It's opposite Newcastle School of the Performing Arts, so it's heavily patronised by the kids. I agree with the woman who said the restaurants are staffed by...

    Channel 10 makes bold shakeup for The Project this 2025!

    If this was the only programme available on TV, I'd switch mine off permanently! The oily Waleed makes me feel sick and his biased opinions have no place in Australia.

    Is this beloved Aussie destination beyond redemption? See the shocking truth a young tourist uncovered!

    While I respect the right of the young tourist to state her opinion, I think I'd prefer to get my information about anything GBR related from Professor Peter Ridd, a marine biologist who's been diving and studying the reef for close to 40 years. He's a former lecturer at James Cook University...
