    Epic car park standoff stuns onlookers: 'Grandma is not giving up'

    I had the same situation when I was leaving a car park via a one-way lane and a young guy tried to drive in the opposite direction, as a shortcut. I stopped and indicated to him to back out so that I could pass. After a short standoff, he moved and I left. He wasn't happy. Tough titties...

    Try your luck: Can you crack the secret code on this new coin?

    It seems to trace communication development from Morse Code through to the digital, computer programming age of zeros and ones, which is very appropriate.

    This disturbing sight causes massive uproar among animal advocates: 'It's just disgusting'

    I'm wondering if they'd accidently (hopefully accidentally) hit and badly injured the dingo, then ran over it again on purpose to put the poor animal out of its misery. Only because they had no other way to end its suffering, being so remote. But some how, I doubt it! Wishful thinking?

    ‘Our design costs the taxpayer nothing’: Is this the $5 redesign Australia should get behind?

    Good compromise. Best of both worlds. Having said that, we already have Indigenous representation on currency (and everything else). I believe in proportional representation. Not over-representation for woke purposes. I also believe that you have to be significant to gain such an honour...

    ATO warns Aussies about new tax evasion practice using this tool

    I used to ask who did the work? If they all said they did, I'd divide the score (which way below 100%) between them too. They'd all fail if they didn't own up. They always owned up! Not smart students, at any stage....except the one who actually did the work. But he (always a he) was dumb for...

    ATO warns Aussies about new tax evasion practice using this tool

    As an ex-TAFE and college teacher/trainer, I can assure you that astute teachers can tell straight away if it's not the student's work. I picked up quite a few for cheating, copying etc. just by reading the submission, comparing it to my knowledge of the student and asking the student a few...

    ATO warns Aussies about new tax evasion practice using this tool

    As a previous tax accountant, I often pulled people up on bogus claims. They could never work out how I knew. To an experienced expert, it's pretty obvious. To the ATO with all its vast resources, it's child's play. People who make false claims aren't usually very smart about it and their own...

    Will this proposal cut your energy bills dramatically? See the government's plans for solar batteries

    Exactly. Google it. Plus add some common sense. I have spoken to scientists from both sides of the argument.

    Will this proposal cut your energy bills dramatically? See the government's plans for solar batteries

    Whilst I'm all for clean energy, this whole net zero business is based on a rubbish premise. Australia emits 1.019% of the Earth's emissions. If we had zero emissions now it would have virtually no impact on the total. Having said that, the Earth needs CO2. Flora needs it to survive and...
