    Was it all a misunderstanding? Find out about the alleged scam on a sick child that shocked a community

    This article about Mateoh and the fund-raising is written in such appallingly bad English that it is about as clear as mud. I do wish someone would be hired to edit and proof-read such contributions before putting them out for public consumption. The reader's task gets harder every day!

    Did your city make the cut? Paul McCartney unveils Australian tour locations!

    WHY on earth celebrities and organisers rarely give even a passing thought to us in Western Australia stymies me! We are here; we are real; and we are fans, too-- in fact, lots of us were applauding loudly when Paul first came in 1964!! SHAME. Perth would turn on a fantastic show for him.

    Are your Centrelink calls taking forever? Here's why and what you can do!

    YES!! I think it is utterly outrageous that we are forced to wait up to 1.5 hours for government services like Centrelink, My Aged Care, and others-- where people are generally dealing with difficult situations anyway. It sometimes feels like a punishment! Surely it can't be too hard putting on...

    Rolf Harris passes away at 93 following health struggle

    I do not condone anything of what he did, but also believe firmly that no star, hero, or celebrity is without his weaknesses and failures. In Rolf's case, they should have been disclosed and reported AT THE TIME. It seems very unjust to me that all the accolades and honours for what he did do...

    Chicken McNuggets disaster: McDonald’s in hot water after it was found to blame for young girl’s injuries

    No, the mother is liable, NOT the supplier! There would have been plenty of complaints if the food had been cold at point of sale! Safe handling of a hot chicken nugget??! How utterly stupid can you be?

    Freshen up your breath after eating garlic with this simple trick!

    And not only the Italians. I remember hearing about parsley-after-garlic in Canberra in the 1970s, trying it out, and being absolutely delighted!

    Young Australian arrested in Indonesia after ‘drunken, violent rampage’ left locals enraged

    How gross, how disturbing and how infuriating. How is it possible to reach 23 and have so little self- awareness , never mind self-control? Can almost count on it being an Aussie. Leave him in jail for a couple of weeks, and give him that flogging, could be a lesson for life.

    URGENT: Seniors Discount - Coupon65 Scam

    Sorry to hear about the above, but People called Coupon65 have given me genuine discounts (as a senior) for years and years... Perhaps their good name has been 'borrowed'? Always come up with a green screen and Welcome Back! and they have been dinky-di

    Molly Meldrum's latest incident leaves fans shocked and concerned – his family insists he has a ‘dedicated support system in place’

    I think this kind of behaviour is indescribably disgusting. Dirty old man, whatever his past record. Why don't his friends take him somewhere right out of the public eye??? (If they care so much about him.

    Electronic payments are taking over: Is cash no longer king?

    Keep cash, please. Most definitely. For one thing an older generation which did not use computers or mobile phones, and did not have the internet has not died out yet. Secondly, cash is needed for personal debts and transactions. Thirdly, I have hardly ever been robbed of cash, and If I am, I...

    Is the shift towards cashless banking leaving older Australians behind? Advocacy group slams financial institutions for ageism

    I'm not a ountry person, but reckon this is a great idea! I also think it could work to everyone's benefit in towns and cities.

    Australia Post under fire for ‘lazy’ delivery attempt

    YES! I live on a back block, so the postie needs to walk about 100 metres to my front garden. Time and time again, but NB, especially in the last 2 years, they have thumped the package down in the shrubs and grass near the front post box I cannot lift cartons, eg of wine, so they are sometimes...

    Outraged mother speaks out after school shows graphic video during sex education class

    NO! She certainly was not over-reacting! What got into that teacher's HEAD? I am really shocked by this story. Have to admit that some of us didn't know most of it even at 13-14 in our generation, but to first see it all on a SCHOOL video at 8 y.o., that's really beyond the pale. Way, way too...

    Will paper receipts soon be a thing of the past? Kmart is going (mostly) digital using new 'smart' Aussie technology

    But -- how will these digital receipts be filed and retrieved? Could be a nightmare searching for on KMart receipt that was generated 3 months ago, or, worse, you're notsure WHEN

    Qantas lands itself in hot water after video of baggage handlers ‘kicking and slamming’ luggage goes viral

    Shocked beyond belief! Angry. Very, very disappointed. Really wish I had not come across this video, but hope it is widely shown now, wherever possible. Where are the decent team-members? line managers? Bosses? No, Qantas, no. Goodbye.

    Judi Dench criticises ‘The Crown’ in an open letter for its portrayal of the royal family

    I could not agree with Judi Dench more. What I have seen of it (and it is not a great deal because I found it so utterly woeful) DOES purport to be 'real' and 'historical' -- the events, the conversations DID all take place in real life -- but as someone who was around when they actually...
