    ‘This is a joke, right?’ Outrageous price for Coco Pops shocks Aussie woman

    Instead of having the Reserve Bank lift interest rates on already struggling people who are trying to pay off their loans whilst at the same time the big banks are making more profits for their share holders. Why doesn't the government take a look at these companies who are charging ridiculous...

    Thousands of Australians risk losing access to banking services as hundreds of branches shut down - Are you affected?

    This is so disappointing and it's happening everywhere. Profits before people seems to be the motto for most big business these days. It would be great to see another smaller bank move in and take the place and accounts of all these people. But then would Westpac really care??? I think not.

    ‘I have given up on most recycling now.’ Australians left feeling betrayed after Coles and Woolworths ordered to ditch plastic packaging in landfill

    I don't see how it can be the fault of either Coles or Woolies. They seem to have been caught out by the Redcycle collapse as have many other firms. It's not really a breach of trust, just bad luck. I'm sure they are desperately trying to find alternate disposal companies. I can't imagine they...

    Woolworths under fire for reserving prime parking spots for pricey eco-friendly vehicles - here's what some Aussies had to say!

    I would like to know who will actually be policing these car parks and how can they tell if my little Astra gets less than 5lts. Per 100klms? Do they have a mechanical degree? This is really over the top. I just hope Coles and Aldi don't follow them with these ridiculous parking regulations.

    Vaccination To Prevent Dementia? New Research Suggests One Way Viral Infections Can Accelerate Neurodegeneration

    Will this be done in Australia or only in America? Is there anything similar to this in our country? A couple of weeks ago I lost my sister to dementia. Over the last 10 years I have seen her decline from a smart articulate woman to eventually end up a vegetable. I would not wish this on anyone...

    The older woman who popped Prince Harry’s cherry surfaces after ‘Spare’ bombshell

    He didn't name her. He only referred to her as an older woman. It is her choice to go public. I don't know why she has if she is upset about this being part in his book. Seems like she's enjoying her 15 minutes of infamy.

    Kmart Shoppers in Uproar After TikTok Exposes 'Ridiculous' Store Detail

    After lining up to pay for my items in the middle of the store the last thing I want to do, if I find something else on my way out, is to go back and line up again to pay for more. So I just don't bother with an extra purchase. If the checkouts were at the entry/exit, where they used to be, then...

    Horrifying Elderly Abuse Exposed: Aged Care Worker Charged with Multiple Cases of Sexual Assault

    I would like to see a national photographic register set up for all care facilities to access so that these lowlifes can not sneak past authorities and get jobs in other aged care facilities. They should be named and shamed to protect the vulnerable people. I'm sick to death of authorities that...

    Shocking footage shows Woolworths customer violently lashing out at staff

    Good on Woolworths for protecting and backing up their staff. Nobody deserves to be abused while doing their job. I worked for Woolies opposition petrol station for many years and we were told that we had to put up with being abused and smile while it was happening. No backup there.

    Former ALDI worker reveals the real reason why staff scan your groceries so quickly

    Let's face it. The REAL reason behind the customer self checkouts is to reduce staff and reduce wages for the company. I

    Get ready to stock your pantry! Coles extends major price freeze for supermarket staples

    Great advertising campaign but it's really only smoke and mirrors deception. While customers are concentrating on products that have been " supposedly frozen " their focus is being taken away from other products that are being increased to more than cover this supposed cost saving deal. Best...

    This supermarket chain paid a whopping $270 million in taxes, and it's not Woolies or Coles

    I don't see a problem. Aldi are paying a lot of tax. So what??? At least they are paying tax which a lot of other companies aren't. If you don't like it shop elsewhere. I divide my shopping between Coles and Aldi. I find I get better value for money at Aldi but some things I can only buy at...

    Woolworths’ new security measure sparks debate online – is it an invasion of privacy?

    I think this is a great idea if they are used properly. As someone who worked in customer service for many years I know how much abuse that customer service workers cop. What's even worse we were told by our employers that we had to accept it or find another job. I'm not sure how they will be...

    AFP charge four men in relation to global $150M cyber scam

    Great work by the AFP in catching these cowardly scumbags. I hope our justice system throws the book at them. People who prey on others vulnerability are the lowest of the low. Let's hope the victims of these grubs get some of their hard earned money back.

    An elderly woman with dementia was allegedly robbed of $23,000 by her aged care worker

    I definately think that the ratings of facilities should be published. My sister has been in a nursing home for over 7 years. She has dementia as is totally dependant on the staff there. Her husband visits her daily and I visit once a week. Most of the staff are wonderful and very caring but we...

    Investigation into the death of an 11-week-old baby reveals heartbreaking details: 'It could have been prevented'

    I know the DCP is overworked and understaffed. We have all heard the excuses. BUT... 23 notifications should not have been ignored. How could it happen that no one had the time to investigate this??? The fact that the DCP have tried to cover this up over the last 4 years shows how incompetent...

    Lottery winner's boyfriend 'rats her out' after she said no to his demands

    Dump him quickly. He obviously isn't interested in your opinion just what he can get out of you. Telling friends about this to put pressure on you is not a good sign. Get out now and live your life your way and don't let him bully you.
