    Older Aussies may have a new secret weapon against dementia…and it has paws!

    I don't know about helping with brain function, but boy does my puppy make me laugh. She is a natural 'alternative' medication that I can happily recomend to everyone. The 'side effects' can easily be cleaned up until she's house trained. 😉

    Facing a Croc Attack? This Dangerous Act Could Cost You $12,900 - Find Out What NOT To Do!

    Pity about the wording at the start of this article. If I remember correctly, the victim was not guilty of feeding the crocs. It takes until the 2nd last paragraph for a mention of a go-fund and community support for the victim's family. Surely this would have been more important than tying the...

    I've never had a genuine message from either dept and don't expect to, therefore all such communications are treated as a scam/spam.

    Experts say this is the worst place to store your spices—and it's probably in your pantry

    I found a $19 rack in kmart. It has 2 wire baskets the pull out, sits neatly on a pantry cupboard shelf, and doesn't contribute to the clutter in the kitchen and on/around the bench space. I actually have 4 of them. 2 different depth baskets make it easy to store condiments, sauces, herbs and...

    Scammers cash in as quirky new trend sparks unexpected warning

    What a flaming waste of money. If you've got thousands to spend on the grandies, you'd better off investing in their education, putting money towards their first car, or maybe spend it on a shared experience (a holiday, trip, something neither of you've done before, maybe jump out of a plane, go...

    New permit rule targets kerbside bin habits under council crackdown

    It's a bloody stupid idea. Every council should deal witb their own problems. This is Australia FFS. .aybe they could introduce a "help your neighbour" program to get late bins off the street. In my steet with have a lady with disabilities and her bins often stay out until her home help comes, 4...

    ‘Our human rights will be denied’: Could this law lead to unequal policing?

    And where do the homeless and those living in overcrowded accommodation drink? Maybe just once in a while they wish to escape their reality for a few hours. Maybe money should be spent on the root causes rather than punishment.

    Mould was ruining her mornings—this $0 trick solved her problem

    I thought it was just common sense to hang up your bath mat when you finished with it. At my age and fragile bone structure, I would have a greater problem with the hanger being on the floor at all.

    You won’t believe how badly the cost of living crisis is hitting people across the country—are you at risk too?

    I love your phrasiology. I also sympathise. Depression, from whatever the cause, is not something you can just 'suck up'. Amazing how many people remain ignorant about mental health issues.

    I have read about this missing kid, but it was weeks ago, not Sunday. Does anyone know if he has been found?

    Would you give a kidney to a stranger? One Aussie man quietly did

    Wouldn't the fact that pigs don't have the same life expectancy as humans mean multiple transplants over a persons lifetime? Each one with increasing risk? If the Chinese can clone a child, which they have done, surely science could be doing something similar with organs. Going on the numbers...

    Reckless stunt injures baby: 'I heard a scream no mother should have to hear'

    I have been the victim of a very serious act of violence, which I won't go into here. The greatest thing to come out of it was the immediate, and ongoing relief that my children were not involved, even though they were affected by the impact on their mother. I can't even begin to imagine what...
