    That's exactly what's happening in my suburb - under a Labor Government. A new train and bus station and a projected population growth of several hundred people living in new houses surrounding the hub. It's going ahead leaps and bounds and there doesn't appear to be any problems with Unions.

    Trump jokes about becoming pope as internet erupts with reactions

    He's too busy attempting to commandeer mineral resources belonging to other countries but, based on his irrational whims and fancies, he might just find Australia's mineral wealth too attractive financially to ignore.

    Trump jokes about becoming pope as internet erupts with reactions

    Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't think the Prime Minister is: * flagrantly exploiting commercial markets to augment his, and his associates, already billionaire status, * confidently stating that he intends to appropriate land belonging to other countries in order to exploit their resources...

    Trump jokes about becoming pope as internet erupts with reactions

    Out of respect for the Pope, attendees were asked to wear appropriate attire, including a black tie, at his funeral. Trump showed his regard for the Pope by wearing a blue suit and a light blue tie, which basically says it all about a narcissistic, power-crazy, bully. Not content with...

    'They're pretty trigger-happy over there': Aussie singer shares life-threatening experience while living abroad

    This sleepy coastal town is facing a makeover, but some locals aren’t happy

    It sounds reminiscent of the coastal town I live in, in WA. It was once a community with a unique history and character of its own. The bush, a thousand times further than the eye can see, is being cleared for commercial development, and it's fast becoming just another 'rubber stamp' set of...

    What is your pet peeve?

    People who load their shopping into their cars, and can't be bothered to return the trolley to the trolley bay. Not a single thought about the potential consequences from taking up a parking bay to the trolley gathering momentum and smashing into other cars. Just too lazy and thoughtless.

    Donald Trump faces tariff showdown as Peter Dutton signals major shift in stance

    If everything that arrives in Australia, by way of American exports, is labelled in large fluorescent lettering 'Product of America' and all retail items are labelled and grouped together for easy identification as a U.S. export, Australians would be able to respond to Trump's tariffs as they...
