    Exposed: The Worst Aussie Capital to Spend New Year's Eve—You Won't Believe Where!

    My wife and I will watch the Sydney fireworks on TV then go to bed. I normally take photos of them on the TV to show our English family and friends. 11am the next day we'll watch the London fireworks on the BBC.

    This Surprising Habit, Not Price, Keeps Aussie Shoppers Loyal to Big Supermarkets – Are You One of Them?

    I can easily get to 7 Woolworths, 5 Aldi's and 2 Coles, so obviously go to Woolies all the time and also Aldi. They've both got everything I need. Sometimes also go to an independent fruit and veg place.

    EFTPOS glitch on New Year's Eve could disrupt spending plans for 60,000 Aussies

    I've got my debit card and other cards in my Google wallet on my phone. Always much easier and quicker just to tap your phone on the terminal to pay. I'll have to wait until after the 1st to see if anything has changed.

    Shoppers can’t get enough of this $10 product–and here’s why it’s disappearing fast

    There's never been any alleged frenzy for this. 😂😂😂 It's something nobody has even heard of and this is just a long winded advert for it. 🙄 Not something I'd be buying anyway.

    Aussies brace for shocking fuel price surge: 'Oil companies must fix this now'

    Originally from England, I'm glad the petrol has always been so cheap here.🙂 I use E10 all the time and currently locally it's only $1.70 less 6c a litre voucher makes it much cheaper for me. 🙂 Someone complained that 55c fuel duty was too expensive. The equivalent in England is currently $1.07...

    Authorities introduce scan zones in bustling areas—how will you adjust to drastic knife law changes?

    If they know there's a lot of knife crime in an area and they know the people doing it, then it's a very good thing to do. 👍

    Australian retailer's payment portal compromised, resulting in $6,000 in losses

    I always buy online with PayPal and never had a problem. Anyone who gets caught like this is just unlucky. And I've never heard of this shop anyway.

    Covid hospitalisations rise to 75 people per day–what does this mean for Christmas?

    I didn't realise there were still so many antivax nutters around?🙄 As well as the ones that like believing misinformation.🙄 Anyway, my wife and I are in the older age bracket and should have had a booster ages ago, but have never got round to it for some reason. If this problem arrives in NSW...

    Desperate times call for desperate measures—the hidden reason behind Christmas shoplifting

    I don't have any problem with it anywhere. Woolies have it at self checkout, but they've taken off the little screen now for some reason, so I can't look at myself when I'm shopping? 😁 And I'm not bothered how many tills are open as I try to use self serve as much as possible.

    Why charging your e-scooter at home could cost you everything

    Why have, or need, an e-scooter anyway? These were better fun when we were kids🙂

    Desperate times call for desperate measures—the hidden reason behind Christmas shoplifting

    Seems to make it sound more acceptable putting it as "six distinct types of shoplifters". Doesn't matter what type they are. Nobody should steal. Let them get benefits if they're so hard up. Have they got subscriptions for any TV channels? Do they smoke and drink? Do they have a car? And as...

    Popular Aussie retailer to close 160 stores—are you ready to say goodbye?

    I haven't been around long enough to know about the good days of all those shops, but whatever comments I've read on any articles about it the main consensus seems to be when this company took over they ruined them all. Personally, I would like Rivers to survive.

    ‘This is a joke’: Grandmother slams $1,209 fine for road rule breach, cuts back Christmas spending

    I've got a good sat nav system in my car so never normally need to use my phone for maps. Especially as I'd have to use my phone data to use it. However, I assume she may not have this in her car, but you can have Google Maps talk to you to tell you the route so you don't even have to touch the...

    A bold new waste rule is dividing communities – what it means for you

    Why is this such a problem? 🤔 This system has been going for years where I am in NSW. Food waste goes into the bag that's in the small (7 litre) kitchen caddy then when that's full it goes into the green bin. And garden waste also goes in there. I only get through about 2 or 3 a week. This is...

    Heads up! Ignoring this major road rule could cost you $600

    Why on earth do they add this on? "Victims of Crime levy" Who is the victim of this "crime"?🤔 If they want this extra money just add it on the fine. My phone is always attached to this cradle in the drink holder and on Bluetooth. If the phone rings then I just press a button on the steering...
