    Global health alert: New virus spreads across continents amid climate and urbanisation concerns

    As much as Murdoch is a walking, problematic issue for the truth and facts, he also knows full well that really bad news sells heaps better than a good time story. Every time. Speaking in a general sense, a fair slice of polarisation, divisiveness and mental health in society can, in my mind...

    Protect your homes from one bathroom item sparking a surge in house fires

    For me this is just a simple matter of maintenance. Like Andrew the fire guy who checked his and found an issue and dealt with it. I agree the highest action to take in a real threat situation is to eliminate it. That's risk management 101. But it's most often not applied in many situations...

    Discover the Secret: How an Aussie Woman Eats for Free and Better Than Ever for Four Years Straight!

    I reckon if one were to have a crack at it, the winter months or cooler climes would be the go. Hard to fathom the wastage of 70% of that dumped being perfectly edible. Seems to me there's something inherently wrong about that.

    Beware: Little-known road rule leads to hefty fines and imprisonment

    There is no much that I grizzle about on the road, but the poorly crafted and poorly fitted headlights that produce a broad glaring blinding light can bring out the worst in me.
