In the past op shops were set up for the poor and prices were very affordable for the less fortunate. Unfortunately, I have seen very well dressed people (mostly women) buying the cheaper priced but well looked after items. It is pretty obvious that they don’t need these items which could be...

Abuse of OFFICIAL RULES/REGULATIONS does not mean “we are becoming a police state”.

No, a driveway usually extends to the edge of the kerb at the road. You are responsible, as a home owner, for maintenance of the footpath area even though that section is legally council land. From the front BOUNDARY to the back and side boundaries of your property is YOUR land and you can do...

I agree with you - there is little harm done by warning us of all the various methods scammers are using now. It is probably difficult for an innocent victim to understand what is a scam and what is genuine and some on their own (especially women) feel frightened when they are threatened that...

And many adults as well! Spelling and correct use of similar sounding words is atrocious in Australia.

Each to his own, I say. It’s not for us to decide. I met my husband when I was 14 and still in school, we got engaged when I was 20, I moved to Australia with the rest of my 6 siblings & my parents at almost 21. My mother would often tell me to look for someone else as she didn’t believe he...

Love them!

What savings? - it’s all on the ‘never, never’, the credit card is what I’m referring to. We got $2 A MONTH for each of our kids (called Child Endowment in those days) we saved for everything big we needed for our first home, and paid 17% interest rate on the loan for our home. My husband & I...

Then their lithium ion batters will fire off by themselves and we will have multiple cars catching fire as a result. Don’t like this idea at all - and it takes away jobs.

Sick, Sick, Sick. That’s all I can say about her. Then why was this sick act (& others she claims to have uploaded) not taken down by the platform it was on? They should also face some charges, hefty charges, for allowing it to be shared on THEIR platform.

In fact, very well said!

Always put everything in writing either by email or post and keep copies of your correspondence and their replies, as evidence. Make sure all dates are on both sets of correspondence. You may have a slightly better outcome as against phone calls you may not be able to prove were made or received.

Perhaps everyone should stop grumbling and blaming the ATO for their own inefficiencies. If money is owed, pay up and smile even though that smile might be a bit hard to do.

If you have the brains, the initiative to take on a political role, become a minister and get the wages that go with the job, go ahead and you can buy a luxurious home by the sea or wherever you want it as well. Minister Wong may also have been the benefactor of her mothers estate. Don’t be envious!

Leave the day before, overnight in a motel & you will be sure to continue your holiday. Important to also have some travel insurance cover for this possible situation. Spending $10,000 is a lot of money so the pittance for insurance cover would be worthwhile. The airline needs to take some...

If it is safety first I fully agree to the banning of these batteries and power banks. But where do you place them if you are going on a long-haul flight? If in your checked bags, then surely, even though not under compression as in the passenger compartment, wouldn’t the battery still...

I must say that at a speed of 80 kph it would not be a very visible sign ON the road. Would it not be better to have a really huge upright sign on the road’s edge rather than a sign on the roadway? Without light, other than the cars headlights, one would not see a sign in time if it was flat on...

Many of you call it scare-mongering as so many also claim ‘climate change’ is rubbish and also scare-mongering. I, for one, will adapt my usage of water to save it, not waste it. Flooding cannot be controlled in an instant - building the facilities to save all that water takes time AND money...
