    Senior in care loses thousands of dollars to an unexpected robber. Here's how you can protect yourself

    It is so true that we hear about the bad ones but that's what makes me really scared about having to have someone come to my home to do the cleaning in the near future. How do I know what that person is up to in my bedroom where I can't see her? I have heard so many stories of people losing...

    Federal court decision reveals truth as favourite Aussie fashion brand faces collapse

    I have never bought the latest fashion but I do have to wear clothes if I am not to be arrested when I go shopping. Thus, Millers was a long-time go-to shop because of the good quality & low prices. However, in recent times, the quality has gone down so far that in the last 12 months I bought...

    Would you call your mum an ‘inseminated person’? New proposal sparks debate

    If a woman is to be called an "inseminated person" why isn't a man called the "inseminating person"? Both equally stupid.

    Millions set to benefit from a major mobile coverage upgrade—are you one of them?

    Part of the route I have to travel to go shopping has no mobile coverage. At one time I saw the start of a bushfire & tried to ring 000 without success. I kept the phone on the seat beside me & just kept dialling until I reached the next town & got through. In the meantime the fire had taken...

    Where do you find the public pay phones which, according to the article, are mandated for all areas? I haven't seen one in years as they were all removed in my area presumably either because they weren't ued or because of vandalism.

    Are you worried about the surge of snake bite incidents? Here's what to do, according to experts

    Please tell me how you find a professional snake catcher. We don't have telephone books any more so can't look there for their contact number. Anyway, by the time you found a contact for a snake catcher, rang him, gave your address, he got into his car & drove maybe an hour to get to you, the...

    Businesses urgently remove this common product, and you should be concerned

    I have never used hand sanitisers as I guessed there was something like alcohol in them & that would dry your hands something terrible. Need lots of hand cream to moisten them again after using sanitiser.

    Experts reveal new coronavirus strain, sparking global pandemic fears

    I object to being called a sheep just because I will gladly be vaccinated against any bug which might make me really ill or even kill me. For those who want to be a huge bug walking around trying to kill me, please stay at home - or, better still, go to the centre of the Simpson Desert & stay...

    Heartbreaking loss strikes renowned actress as husband passes away at 88 due to illness

    Never heard of him. There's way too many of these little known people being posted here as if they are well-known to everyone. Let's keep the page relevant to the majority of us.

    Discover the Incredible Life Trick of the Woman Who Lives Without Money or a Bank Account! See How She Does It!

    Her GoFundMe page should be shut down immediately. She chose to live off other people's generosity for the last 10 years, living virtually rent free on a friend's property, doing some cooking (presumably for that family as she doesn't say who for) probably with their ingredients from which she...

    Major change at Coles packaging sparks debate among shoppers: ‘Impressed’

    Paper bags for grapes will become soggy very quickly & break when picked up to put in your trolley. Apart from that, I want to be able to see what I am buying. If fresh produce is packed in a paper bag I have no idea of the quality of the grapes in the bottom of the bag so they would be left on...

    Supermarket rolls out one surprising transformation to their stores

    Totally unnecessary. Just another way that these big retailers try to increase their profits by "encouraging" customers to buy things they don't really want or need by impulse buying. Going shopping is a way to get away from screens for me & I definitely don't want to see any other screen...

    Postal nightmare: Australia Post worker stole $400,000 in packages from customers

    I was about to say the same thing. Fifteen months in prison is hardly anything to this thief. He should have been sentenced to at least 10 years & we need to bring back the added penalty of "with Hard Labour". Prisons these days are a walk in the park for many with all the things they have...

    Cash at risk? Seniors groups reveal shocking truth behind new mandate

    All fees for payment & withdrawing our money from the bank MUST stop. It costs the bank nothing for me to withdraw my money. They benefit when my money stays in my a/c as they have this money invested in ways they gain interest from it. I was in a store recently & went to the counter to...

    'Australia wins this one': Tourist’s reaction to Aussie service sparks debate

    So, we the shoppers, pay for you to charge your EV!! All electricity has to be paid for & the supermarkets recoup that cost by increasing the price of groceries. If you own an EV either use your own electricity or go where you pay for what you use - don't sponge off the rest of us.

    I only put my recycle bin out when it gets pretty full but recently it was left full by the garbage truck so i solved that problem quick smart. I emptied everything in the regular green top bin & now don't use the recycle one. I don't need the extra stress of pulling out 2 bins to have one...
