    It depends on the rating of the road: is it a national highway, a state road or a local road? If it is a local road it is council's responsibility. Don't forget that the responsibility for roads can be , by agreement changed between authorities.

    Are you being overcharged? The startling truth about 'rogue' taxi drivers that could ruin your airport travel experience!

    In Doha the airport police ask for your destination and tell you what the fare will be. That is what you pay the driver. Perhaps there could be fixed fares from the airport. My daughter was scammed by a taxi driver at Sydney airport. A normal $50 trip was charged at $92. Because she was...

    Shocking Attack: Find Out What Happened to the Channel 9 Olympics Broadcast Team in Paris!

    I have been to France numerous times over the past 55 years. The first time I found the Parisians to be 'rude', but it boiled down to the language issue. I learnt the French for 'excuse me do you speak English?'. This made a world of difference. English wasn't a common second language but the...

    95-year-old grandmother loses $1.6 million savings: ‘I felt duped, foolish, ashamed’

    I find it strange that the scammers can easily get Australian bank accounts when identification has to be established by the banks. It is the same with scammers and solar panel subsidy people getting local telephone numbers when the calls are clearly from overseas.

    Massive password leak exposes details of nearly 10 billion accounts—secure yourself!

    Ah Tracy, you must be another conspiracy theorist to make such inane statements. Why the hell would 'the government' (which one?) want to hack and expose such information? Think for yourself, not following idiots with mental problems in the conspiracy theory mire. You cannot give any provable...

    Unlock the Secrets to Quality Sleep: Sleep Experts Expose Bedtime Habits You Must Adopt (And What to Avoid)!

    Pedal pushback: City council’s new project sparks massive human rights uproar!

    I checked with our local traffic police and they said it was 10kph in dual use zones., but I have read it is the speed limit on adjoining streets. Whatever it is there needs to be police with speed cameras in dual use areas to stop and warn/fine these people who do not care about others' safety...

    Pedal pushback: City council’s new project sparks massive human rights uproar!

    Over the years I have noted that cyclists feel more privileged than pedestrians. Adult cyclists riding on footpaths when confronted about it just give filthy abuse.

    Australian's Bali nightmare could happen to you: The critical travel insurance mistake you MUST avoid

    Budget Direct's underwriter is Auto & General Insurance Company Limited. Read the online reviews. Not great reading. They also underwrite most of the cheaper insurance options.

    Experts raise concern as surge in contagious virus cases threatens Aussie babies and seniors

    Thalidomide was not a vaccine. Anti vaxxers don't seem to stop and think about the world being free of smallpox, tuberculosis being treatable rather than a death sentence. Other diseases preventable by vaccines include chickenpox, diptheria, flu, hepatitis A and B, Hib, HPV, measles...

    Unlock this simple trick to potentially double your $300 energy rebate

    Albo's election pledge was made on the basis of what was publicly known about energy supply and costs. He didn't know that Morrison's government were hiding a report pointing to problems in the electricity supply system which would cause price increases.

    ‘Cheapest fuel in a decade’: Find out where motorists are racing for 99-cent petrol sale!

    What has this to do with Albo? Your statement is a bit strange or just a political jab from the right. I did a trip from Bexley to Campbelltown via Canterbury road. The difference between the cheapest and most expensive unleaded was 72 cents. Most garages are making a lot more than 2 cents a litre.

    Patrons at risk after clubs peak body discovers major data breach

    I have asked clubs where the information is stored and have never had a satisfactory answer. Whoever allowed member and patron information to go offshore without the permission of the owners of that information needs prosecuting, if possible under our outdated laws. Whoever employed the...

    Protect your wallet: How Aussies are being fleeced by ‘unscrupulous’ taxi drivers

    My daughter was charged $92 for a ride from the domestic terminal to Allawah. The bill even had a toll added on. She complained and eventually received a partial refund. The driver does not face any disciplinary action so will try to again.

    Who wrote the Bible?

    Israel is using the excuse for the slaughter of Palestinians: 'It is our land as god promised it to us.' I ask, do you have it in writing? Dutch researches some years ago analysed the texts of St Paul and found, from the grammatical structures, that it was written by three people. We all have...

    That is a big statement. Where is your proof? If you are in a health fund you can get treatment at a private hospital. I have bladder cancer and I am having chemotherapy at a private hospital. Not my preferred choice but that is where my doctor sent me. I think you should read this...
