    Beware - Everyday Rewards scam

    No I disagree with you. Just because someone is not thinking straight does not mean they deserve being scammed and they certainly do not deserve to lose everything.

    Australia Post warns Aussies about $150 'mystery box' trend sweeping social media

    I thought that all undelivered packages were sent back to the sender. Isn't that why the senders address and contact details are on the delivery label also as well as the delivery address. If the package cannot be delivered to the recipient, then it goes back to the sender. Am I wrong???

    It is illegal to park across a driveway and this should have empowered the police/council to tow the vehicle and fine the registered owner. I would have jacked the car up onto bricks and taken the wheels off. The driver would never leave their car there again.

    Unfortunately fishing tackle and nets that get snagged under water are difficult to monitor and reduce the impact without regular underwater cleanup patrols. Perhaps parks and wildlife could obtain some extra government funding and perform regular underwater clean ups. This could have had a...
