    Feeling the pinch? Here's why some might miss out on a potential $932 support increase

    If anyone here thinks it's ok for a disabled 78-year-old senior to have to go to work for a living—let them try it at the same age or older and see how they manage.

    Feeling the pinch? Here's why some might miss out on a potential $932 support increase

    Look at what happened to the biblical cities of Sodam and Gomorrah about 4000 years ago and why it happened as recorded in Ezekiel 16:49, it states that the sin of Sodom was pride, gluttony, and complacency—they had plenty but refused to help the poor and needy. Ezekiel’s interpretation suggests...

    Shocking downside of new Australian parking systems that could affect you!

    The unfortunate reality is that the "phones" of today are not merely phones, but sophisticated mini-computers. The Apps (applications) are programs that enable these "phones" to operate as the App/program author intended. Again, unfortunately, there are unscrupulous, intentional criminals out...

    Shocking downside of new Australian parking systems that could affect you!

    It will have to happen sooner or later. Preferably the former option. Governments and businesses will eventually be publicly shamed for not complying with cyber safety, which will either force their hand or see them out of business, be it politics or the business world. We the public STILL have...

    From confusion to clarity: myGovID app gets a fresh new identity soon!

    After lodging all my identity requirements my access is limited to standard only. Why? Because I don't have a passport. Why should I need to purchase a $AUD 398 AUD passport to prove my identity when I have already supplied my 1947 birth certificate, my current, Australian Motor Driver's...

    From confusion to clarity: myGovID app gets a fresh new identity soon!

    They can fix paranoid behaviour. But intentional delusion is yours to keep...

    Shocking downside of new Australian parking systems that could affect you!

    Smartphone Apps are all-well-and-good, but cybersecurity is becoming a greater threat to personal safety on a daily basis. All would-be vendors need to be acutely aware of the possibility of cybersecurity breaches and act accordingly and appropriately. Sadly, most said vendors have only revenue...

    Mayor's park plans go awry: AI art turns green dreams into mutant nightmares!

    Like most computer programs AI algorithms are great when (and if) they work as intended. Unfortunately, this event of "working as expected" is a rare occurrence indeed.

    This possible road rule overhaul may force you to change your driving habits ASAP!

    Regardless of speed limits, if the roads are not capable of sustaining traffic at any speed, those roads need to be rebuilt to national standards, which I would suggest NEEDS to be far above the current common Australian standard. Every rural road I travel on here in Victoria presents with...

    'What's the deal?': Ruffled tradie questions hardware store’s pet policy

    So long as the animals are well-behaved and potentially friendly towards other people, I see no problem in owners bringing their pets along for the Bunnings ride. The problem of individuals blocking aisle access is something we, unfortunately, find in most shopping locations. People just can't...

    Driving shift: Senior road safety debate heats up in this Aussie state

    Perhaps they should also insist on younger drivers taking annual practical driving tests and especially professional driving instructors. It is apparent there is also a need for these to be taught how to use a roundabout correctly. I wonder just how much this would improve driver behaviour on...

    Driving shift: Senior road safety debate heats up in this Aussie state

    An individual's ability to drive is not necessarily reflected in their diagnosed medical status. The ability to drive is by and large a matter of practical experience, more experience increases one's ability to drive. I first obtained my driver's licence in 1965. In those days one didn’t...

    ‘Shocking’ data breach at major smoke alarm provider leaves homeowners at risk

    Yes, I have received multiple attempted scams from various sources but I have learned to easily recognise them. Many of them are supposedly from companies that I haven't dealt with. Those from companies that I HAVE dealt with are easily verifiable. My advice to anyone is if you don't recognise...

    Government proposes changes to Aussies' superannuation—find out how this could affect you!

    A typical government response to expenditure. While at the same time our illustrious, overpaid politicians stuff even more of our taxes into their own pockets. Perhaps a better solution would be for said politicians to opt for lower payouts during their term service and a significant reduction...

    What's this bizarre object that washed up on an Australian beach?

    My first take on it was, "It looks like some part of a rocket," but I could be wrong. It's definitely not anything to do with an aircraft in my opinion.

    Shoppers are complaining about 'flimsy' paper bags: 'Get your act together'

    Another excellent idea. I use both, the provided trolleys AND the cooler bags, which I keep in the car.

    Shoppers are complaining about 'flimsy' paper bags: 'Get your act together'

    Hey people, it's really easy. BREAKING NEWS: Coles, Woolies, Aldi, Kmart, Target, Big W and many others too numerous to mention here all provide shopping trolleys. All you need do is obtain one before you start your shopping odyssey and leave it in the appropriate collection bay in the car park...
