    He’s 66, sick, and grieving—now they want to evict him

    Yet again, another example of a Government who made the decision to outsource to a private company, who manages units where he lives. He clearly hasn't kept the unit clean and tidy enough. As he admitted, it's hard when not well. It's a harrowing situation for him.

    Easy Apple Tart

    There's no liquid added either. Only a bit of butter that melts.

    Easy Apple Tart

    No, it turned out perfectly. It's cooked flat compared to a tart pan.

    $500 up for grabs? Here’s what the new cost-of-living boost could mean for you

    Years ago I had a top loader. Then my local council introduced 'user pay' for water. Ditched the top loader and bought a front loader. Saved lots of $ on the water bill. Plus, I can use warm water, due to front loaders working the same as dishwashers, as they have their own heating element -...

    Seniors who call Shark Bay in Western Australia home trade caravans for a house

    OMG. Reading these comparisons with our country expanding. My older brother and I growing up on the Gold Coast ... geez those were the days! We now join Brisbane on the M1.

    Peanut butter fudge

    It's a lot. I asked my American friend over there and she said a box of powdered sugar contains about 4 cups. Americans love their sweet stuff! I'm not sure why we are asked to move on when it's not explained properly. But hey whatever.

    We’re tossing billions of these tiny plastics each year—so why are they still stuck to our fruit?

    Apparently too flimsy/tangled for the machines. Shame the RedCycle went bust.

    We’re tossing billions of these tiny plastics each year—so why are they still stuck to our fruit?

    Okay, that's good. I buy loose apples & use my reusable produce bags. I try not to buy plastic packing with fruit & veg.

    We’re tossing billions of these tiny plastics each year—so why are they still stuck to our fruit?

    Those stickers have been around for a long time. I don't find an issue with citrus, however I dislike removing them on apples. They need to come up with a non plastic solution, instead of going to landfill.

    She moved to Australia thinking she was ready…then came the 'dunny'

    Amen for her son not having to do school lockdown drills to prepare for shootings. Her son will love school here. However, she will need to pack his lunch, as there's no school canteen lunches provided. Plus, she will be able to buy similar ranch dressing and carbonated mineral water in our...

    Pigeon killer fined $48k, one of WA's largest animal cruelty fines

    Thankfully, there's not many macabre people around like this. Those poor harmless pidgeons that were subjected to it.

    Anna Wintour's stepping back—is this the end of an era or the start of something bigger?

    I've know about her. She's always in the news with runway modelling. I used to buy Dolly in my teenage years, then progressed to Vogue and Cosmopolitan.

    I agree that perhaps the marriage break down was due to her sleeping until 1pm everyday. If the sister claims she is that depressed that she can't look after her kids, then perhaps they need to live with their father.
