    A hot topic. Appreciation, acknowledgement and respect are all key factors. So with these in mind. Are we as a nation being disrespectful 🤔? The indigenous languages are very varied and broad. There is no indigenous writing or spelling, thus is it true that these place names be only spoken...

    The alarming way scammers are preying on those with diabetes

    I saw the advertisement too. I'm a type 2 Diabetic. Yes, they said all the right things and "buzz" words to capture our attention. The alarm bells started ringing loudly for me, when the advert stated "limited time offer, low stock", " Discounts for multiple buys". I googled the product and...

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

    Yep, all bundled under the heading of "distracted driving". It's not just about using or touching a phone. You can be fined for just about anything, if police deem you not being in 100% control of a vehicle. Eating, drinking, playing music to loud etc.. all distractions from operating a...

    Secret reunion? Discover how this iconic musician surprised fans with an unforgettable comeback!

    I agree. Same with Rod Stewart's last tour. He needed assistance on stage and even sat down. Wasn't the Rod we knew from the 70's and 80's. Time is unfair to us all.

    Senior driver challenges court after facing $544 in fines

    Yes, the law is black and white. The article does not state if it was "red light" fine or a police officer. Cameras do not discriminate. Either you crossed the line with a red light or not. Most police use their discretion as they can view all the evidence and situation. The driver admits to...

    The ever growing list of rules and laws (even if most are for safety and consistency). Hey we should get back to basics. Getting someone to walk in front of the vehicle with a red flag or if at night a red light (I believe this law may still not have been repealed). But wow, what a way of...

    Is this the future of shopping? Coles rolls out new technology for shoppers

    They are doing everything they can to cut down labour and face to face customer service. Yet their prices keep going up. As with any new technology there are "bugs", so that wastes a customer's time too. Even now, there is still hold ups at self checkout areas. Imagine being in the middle of the...

    Cook your favourite dishes for less with this supermarket find!

    The last part of the article brings the story back on track. Olive Oil is a very healthy and great food source. I've previously researched olive oils. Never buy blended oils.
