    ‘Nothing screams Australia like Palmolive’: Why Woolies’ Australia Day display has everyone talking

    The display looks like it was very hastily thrown together. Decidedly unprofessional. As to ‘celebrating Australia Day as a team and with our customers’ did that mean instructing store detectives not to closely tail Indigenous customers for the time the store was open?

    Latest poll results shock voters: See who's leading in the upcoming election!

    Id like to see Dreyfus as PM - after Labor wins the election. One thing is certain - Australia cannot afford to have a corrupt psychopath like Dutton as PM, or even in Parliament. Nor can we afford another second of the corrupt, incompetent Coalition. Labor has done remarkably in fixing the...

    ABC News Breakfast hosts get slammed for breaking fashion norms–here's why

    Should a presenter’s style influence how they're perceived, or should their professionalism take centre stage? Dumb question. A presenter's "style" is all about perception. Medium is the message stuff. It has little, if any, connection with "professionalism," by which you presumably mean...

    Australians outraged: Is this beloved Aussie saying now considered 'tone deaf'? Find out why it's causing a fierce debate!

    You have a poor memory. Very poor! I grew up in an Australia where Chinese, Italians and Greeks were ridiculed mercilessly. They were, in fact, hard working - something white Aussies tended to resent and mock. African migrants likewise work hard. They are not responsible for gangs or crime...

    "Exiberance"? Perhaps a basic proofread is wise if you intend to question others' expression.

    The unacknowledged problem with the thinly-disguised envy and covetousness of the "we should all get the same" whine is that it is highly selective in its demands and fails to take account of the whole picture. You want all the benefits available to Indigenous people? Then take the whole...

    I'd prefer our system, despite the lack of political will to deal with exploitation and inconsistencies, to that of the USA! Now, that's one seriously-munted clusterfuck!

    Time ... ah, time ... I noted a while ago Oz is within range of North Korean missiles. And the way Trump eyes off mineral wealth, well, we could on the Invasion Agenda ... So, yeah ... time ...

    Australia is! When my son was two, toddling and curly-haired, I used to reflect that if we were African, in Africa, in only a few years' time he would be running round the jungle carrying an AK-47 and killing people. We don't go to bed wondering if tomorrow we'll finally have at least one...

    When I was growing up as a lad in the 60s you could get a whole bag of lollies for 5c, stuffed full, bursting at t'seems, and me ma n pa could fill up their cars for a couple of bucks. You could feed a family of twelve on 10 bucks a week and buy them all brand new clothes every month. We never...

    It's a non-question. The phrase originated, I believe, during the days when sheep and wool carried Australia's economic wealth and wellbeing. Those days are gone. The key features which moulded the Australian myth - a fair go and egalitarianism (for white people) - have long ago evaporated in...
