    Overhauled speed limits may save more lives in one state

    Have we had any close calls? Yes, several. Were they related to speeding? NO. They were a result of stupidity. Idiots overtaking other cars when it was definitely unsafe to do so. On double white lines, with a bend coming up or a crest coming up. At one point when we lived near an interstate...

    Latest password hack may put you and your accounts in danger!

    I keep getting phone calls from someone asking me if I remember them fitting LED lights to our home and they want to come back to fit something else free. I know for a fact we never let anyone into our home but they won’t stop calling every few months. I’ve even told them on several occasions...

    You Won't Believe What This 'Entitled' Mom Demanded on a Plane—Passenger's Shocking Story Sparks Outrage

    You didn’t read the report. The child and the mother both put headphones on to block out the boys bad behaviour. The child with the iPad wasn’t bothering anybody other than the boy who wasn’t allowed to use his iPad.

    You Won't Believe What This 'Entitled' Mom Demanded on a Plane—Passenger's Shocking Story Sparks Outrage

    I’m with the mother of the iPad child. She not only thought of her child’s comfort but that of other passengers and herself. The other family had no right to ask her to put it way. That is a time and place situation.

    Stop Feeding Kangaroos or Face the Consequences - Shocking Rescues Reveal the Dangers!

    Unfortunately signs won’t change the behaviour of tourists feeding the wildlife. There are signs everywhere in the Grand Canyon asking not to feed the squirrels as they bite. But we still saw people feeding them ”because they are so cute”. Perhaps Northern GrampianS shire also needs to rethink...

    Aussie senator's controversial post about King Charles sends shockwaves through social media

    She’s even an embarrassment to her own people. Why on earth doesn’t the PM get some balls and sack her. Behaviour like hers has no place in civilised society. Disgusting uncouth woman who belongs in a zoo for wild animals. Sorry, that’s not fair on the animals!!!

    Pending 3G network shutdowns put several 4G devices and users at risk

    “Madeleine was left with little time to upgrade”. Garbage! We’ve been warned about this for at least 6 months. In fact it was going to happen in June but was delayed. And you can buy a 5G phone for under $300. Just do some shopping around. It’s not that hard!!

    Aussies may have to pay $322 fine after surge in this ‘annoying’ camping trend

    Yes I’ve heard of this in some popular places. People book a site and then decide closer to the date if they want to or can go or not. They do it so they won’t miss out.Perhaps if the powers that be made it easier to get a refund then no shows would be less prevalent. But as for vacant tents...

    This state’s controversial measure slams $925 fine for doing this in public spaces!

    Have a picnic with non alcoholic wine or soft drink. I’m sure it won’t kill you. It’s like asking to be exempt from speeding fines because you don’t won’t hurt anyone. 😂😂😂

    Monarchist groups criticise premiers for absent reception during royal visit

    We can see it’s the older generation who are still royalist. How much does it cost Australia to support a monarchy that does nothing for our country. I have respect for Charles and Camilla but I also think it’s time Australia became independent from Great Britain. I do agree that the state...

    Dog owner lashes out after being hit with $806 fine for a little-known mistake

    To all those owners who think their dogs should be allowed to go unleashed, who are you going to blame if they get run over? The poor car driver? The poor dog? Or will you accept responsibility? We have more unleashed dogs than leashed dogs walking in our estate (all in an 80 Kmph zone).

    Westpac axes cardless cash withdrawals from their ATMs nationwide

    My 91 year old mother still uses cheques. They were good for sending for Christmas and birthdays as you can’t send cash in the post. Other than that…. On line banking is so easy and quick!!

    Simple mistake at your next GP visit could lead to unexpected expenses

    facing redundancies at the end of our 50’s we became self funded. Low income cards didn’t get bulk billed so medical help was unaffordable. Now that we can get bulk billed we can never get appointments as there are very few GP’s in the country areas. (Our only clinic has a waiting time of 6...

    Simple mistake at your next GP visit could lead to unexpected expenses

    Parents aren’t allowed to discipline their children. When ours were in high school in the early 2000’s they’d come home telling us teachers said you can’t tell me what to do.

    I often sit on the couch with a cuppa and am not going to stop now. But I do always hold the cup with both hands. Just feels easier when you don’t have the table in front of you!
