    Woman sues famous transportation app after series of discriminatory treatment

    Maybe it’s because people should not approach an assistance dog to pat them as it could distract them from their job. My son has ID & ASD & loves dogs, so I always ask first whether it is ok.

    Fear of animals is not a disability, it is a phobia.

    Woman sues famous transportation app after series of discriminatory treatment

    My son has ID & ASD. He lives in SIL & there has regular staff, however on occasions has needed shifts to be filled by others. There been a few support workers that have arrived, seen 2 dogs & have run away. The provider has not advised them that there are dogs on the premises.

    Is your favourite veggie at risk? This virus has hit another state, here's how it could affect your garden

    I agree, much better flavour. We have tomato plants popping up everywhere. Maybe birds dropping them?

    'It doesn't work that way': This beach trend is making waves for the wrong reasons!

    No issues in S.A. People put up tents & all sorts of shelters. Population is obviously less but we also have plenty of beaches to swim at.

    Bill Shorten’s shock exit: what it means for Australia’s political future

    Do you know people on NDIS? The problem is greedy provider’s, dodgy SC’s & plan managers that use loopholes to get items for participants that are not reasonable & necessary. Another major rort is respite. I actually reported a few things directly to Bill Shortens office for the fraud team to...

    Are you spending extra for your doctor visits? This report shows one concerning trend among Aussies

    In the last 6 months more have stopped bulk billing. I rarely go to the GP but my son who has a disability goes around 6-10 times a year & luckily his GP bulk bills for him. We have been to other practices where they have charged him regardless of him being on DSP.

    'This is literally part of the Knowledge Test': Driver faces thousands in fines after this mistake!

    Maybe those narrow minded people that don’t respect the police should think twice about calling them when someone breaks into their house or does something illegal. People make plenty of assumptions, but don’t actually know what the police are doing day to day.

    Yes then you are giving way but many people go through too fast & blast their horn thinking they have right of way, even when you have entered first.

    'This is literally part of the Knowledge Test': Driver faces thousands in fines after this mistake!

    Yes mine does when driving my partners car. I might need to raise the seat height when I drive it but I’m not comfortable with my head almost on the roof lining.

    Authorities ‘bust the myth’ about this little-known road rule that could cost you up to $349

    Of course some would except for those who believe the rule is give way to your right only in a roundabout. I have seen plenty of people plough through a roundabout & blast their horn believing they have right of way. What I meant was if you are approaching a roundabout & someone is approaching...

    There is nothing hard or confusing about the rule.

    I didn’t say they were at a reasonable distance. What others are thinking is they cannot enter a roundabout if there is already a vehicle in the roundabout.

    That does not mean you have to stop, you can still proceed while giving way to the car already in the roundabout.
