    Famous sport bar faces backlash as fans discover this sneaky menu addition!

    Same for me. One local chemist I would use regularly suddenly charged me a fee when I used my card but there was no sign anywhere that they would be adding this charge. I left the shop with my tablets because the sale had gone through & I would only get the cost of the tablets back not the...

    'My neighbour's rubbish spills over to my driveway... so I kicked it back to their side'

    If her bins are always out, does that mean days other than those when the garbage truck comes to pick up? If so, I would raise the issue with council as in most areas, it is illegal to leave your bins outside your property for an extended period of time

    Avoid a whopping $15,000 fine: A tradie's shocking roadside encounter on a rural Aussie road!

    Every tradesman knows the rules about securing his load & flagging anything that is overhanging at the back. This is not a new rule & should be policed in every town, city & state. I was behind a vehicle in the last few days, on a country road, with gear overhanging at the rear. Fortunately...

    Is Australia expecting an enemy soon? Insider reveals details about possible attacks Down Under!

    So Richard Marles thinks that some international law is going to stop China if it wants to attack us? From the time we were told that the Chinese were off the coast of NSW I felt that this was the start of assessing our country to find the best places to attack; and then when they continued...

    Shocking Sleep Trend Sweeping Australia - Is It Affecting Your Health? Experts Reveal Startling Findings!

    I go to bed to have a few minutes reading a good book but then, as soon as my light is turned off, I'm asleep. While I admit I am lucky I know that some people become so dependent on their nightly "sleep pill" that when they need to go into care they can be given something as simple as a...

    Shocking Discovery Unveiled Inside Sydney's Popular Shoe Repair Shop – You Won't Believe What Happened!

    Some of the details do not add up. 1. She was 12 in 1998-1999. So she would now be 35-36 years old, not the stated 40 years old. 2. She now fears men yet she got into a relationship (unknown if it was marriage or not from article) & went on to obviously have sexual relations in order to...

    Modern technology could put your medical data at risk, legal expert warns

    So does mine. And yesterday I saw a specialist who did the same thing. As she asked questions & I answered, she typed away. No need for AI.

    Homeowner spends $3,000 in legal fees over neighbour’s backyard nightmare

    At the first sign of it infiltrating into your property, hit it with a good weed killer. At one place I lived the neighbour had bamboo growing which had infiltrated my property. I hit it with Roundup & killed the lot even though I only sprayed that which was on my property.

    Authorities nab one man travelling under a fake identity and more

    I searched this article looking for the thing police found which was "even more chilling". This headline was just click-bait & I fell for it. There was absolutely nothing here that was "more chilling" than the discussion about a bomb with someone on his phone. The only other thing they found...

    Modern technology could put your medical data at risk, legal expert warns

    No way would I consider it safe & reiiable. I would fear that errors would be made in transcribing the notes from my discussion with my doctor. The AI bot has to be trained by someone so again, the quality of the "training" could lead to massive errors in transcription. Then there is the...

    'We’re all heartbroken': Australia mourns legendary athlete and dedicated police officer lost too soon

    Death is part of life & we all have a time to meet our Maker no matter our age. It doesn't mean that the whole world will mourn our passing.

    'We’re all heartbroken': Australia mourns legendary athlete and dedicated police officer lost too soon

    No. I'm not mourning them. I only mourn for people I know, respect, love not for people I have never heard of.

    Aussies furious as social media giant blocks vital information about incoming threat

    I have had the same thing happen to me. I was censored for sharing a post & my post was removed, but the original post was still circulating apparently without a problem.

    'We’re all heartbroken': Australia mourns legendary athlete and dedicated police officer lost too soon

    I totally agree. I don't mourn over every person who dies in Australia (or anywhere else in the world for that matter). I mourn when those I love & care for pass away. It takes a lot from a person to mourn for someone & no one has the energy to expend on people unknown to them.

    Veterinarians warn about this possible virus 'hopping around' Australia soon! What is it for?

    The article says this virus is highly contagious & can be transmitted to pets through insect bites. I presume that the insect bites would include mosquitoes. So, are our dogs & cats safe to be outside during the time when mozzies are active? If they are at risk, is there something we can do...

    ‘We’re not being provided with a basic human need’: Australians left high and dry

    If you want to eat then farmers need to build in area without "scheme" water (whatever that is) unless you want hundreds or thousands of sheep and cattle in the property behind you. Or maybe acres of wheat behind your property. These are the reasons farmers are a long way from suburbia. These...

    ‘We’re not being provided with a basic human need’: Australians left high and dry

    One very good reason is the cost involved in installing the pipes to farming properties where even many of their homes are 1-2 kms from the road (some even further than that) & the properties are many kms apart. This is an expense which country councils cannot bear or they would have to raise...

    ‘We’re not being provided with a basic human need’: Australians left high and dry

    Everyone has to pay for their water whether it's on tap or to refill a tank which has gone dry. I am happy for the farmers who have tanks/dams & can use this water freely most of the time but in dry times they have to join the rest of us & pay for their water. Flushing toilets are not an...
