    General Discussion Thread 19.03.2025

    Honey Jumbles are the ones I miss. My late father and I used to share them. He'd eat the white ones and ( begrudgingly) let me eat the pink ones. The only other biscuit we shared are 'Spicy Fruit Rolls' and it's getting really hard to find them. IGA seems to be the last store to keep them, and...

    Extreme weather strikes again! How dairy farmers are struggling to stay afloat

    It's not just a problem for dairy farmers, it's a problem for the whole country. Until insurance companies invest/ borrow only in Australia, they're going to keep passing on their costs to the average Australian who pays their insurance and blindly accepts the bill. Unfortunately paying interest...

    ‘Not even for the dog’: ALDI shopper’s mince purchase sparks safety debate

    I agree with the "if in doubt, Chuck it out", message. Bugger the company/store. Keep your family safe!

    Aussie shoppers switch to alternatives for this seafood staple

    ‘What’s this world coming to?’: Outrage as brazen thief targets family home

    Has anyone offered the victim help of any kind? Yes, the offender is a piece of sh*t, yes he needs to be called out. Did the mother with a young child get any real help?

    Heated clash at supermarket checkout ignites urgent calls for action and safer shopping

    Don't these idiots realise that they get to live in this beautiful country because we are a country of immigrants. Diversity is what makes this place so great. I bet the offender is happy to chow down on a Chinese feed or munch on an Indian curry. He certainly needs to pull his head in and take...

    'I wonder if someone designed it as a joke': Aussies notice interesting detail on this property development

    ‘This is looking like a new normal’: Why power prices aren’t coming down anytime soon

    We've installed solar, with battery back up, which was a very expensive outlay. My husbands reasoning behind this decision is 'when he can no longer work (at 70+ he's still working 4 days a week) there will only be manageable bills'. It also adds to the value of the house when we kick the...

    Telco giant launches massive update to tackle scams! Here's how you can benefit from it

    I've had a few 'suspected spam' messages come up on my phone, but mostly just get a lot of 'unknown number' notifications. A lot of these are scams, charity cold calls and general bullsh*t. Doesn't appear to be all that effective to this senior (who, by the way, has always been a Telstra customer).

    It's damned near impossible to see a GP in under 3 weeks, where I live. Nice regional, coastal area where infrastructure has definitely not kept up with the influx of people since covid.
