    Children’s Sex Ed book causes stir with explicit content, BIG W slammed for sale

    Sorry, but curiosity is not curtailed by not giving information either by a book or heaven forbid a real conversation with parents. Young people have been curious since Adam and Eve in the Garden Of Eden and well before books. Think back to your own teenage years. Not having information did not...

    Mystery 'sale' price tag at local store leaves shopper baffled! What's the catch?

    We already have the cameras in NSW and n Coles as well as Woolworth. The cameras can also detect whether you have accidentally left an item in the trolley too! The machines are also 'smart' enough to identify what you put on the scales and offer up the most likely product. You can accept the...

    Beware of where you park! NSW driver slapped with hefty $283 fine for this unexpected mistake

    No it is not the homeowner's responsibility to take care of the nature strip. In fact, if you planted something there the council can make you remove it and you can be fined - at least in my local area.

    Natalie Barr’s sudden disappearance from Sunrise: Fill-in presenter reveals the reason

    I would disagree with you on this one. Monique and her sidekick Matt Doran on weekend sunrise behave like obnoxious ill-disciplined teenagers. They don't listen to their guests, too busy talking over each other and the guest. They both need to learn they are not the news; their job is to report it.

    Shocking news! Victorian Premier cancels 2026 Commonwealth Games

    All those applauding Mr Andrews for this latest debacle, should not for one-second think that that same money will be spent on housing the homeless, fixing the health and education systems or even in building the infrastructure he says will still be built. If he is going to continue building the...

    Elton John takes the witness stand in Kevin Spacey's sexual assault trial

    It's all a continuation of the 'me too' movement. With the greater acceptance of LGBTIQ+, there are more of these complaints against men. The biggest problem I see is that after decades since the alleged offenses, it is all he said. he said there is no evidence for either side and there seems to...

    Shock as $1.25m underpayment scandal hits Bakers Delight

    I do not believe that most cases of wages underpayment are a deliberate action by the employer. Most employers do want to do the right thing and try their best, especially small businesses. However, the complexity of all the various award schemes (which change constantly) under which people are...

    Controversial statement on Aussie motorist's car draws attention, sparks 'cashless society' debate

    Here is another thought all these happy tappers never think about: we keep being told that younger generations are not financially literate and that it should be taught in schools. Try teaching a primary-age child about the value of money when they have no physical concept of what it is. And...

    Controversial statement on Aussie motorist's car draws attention, sparks 'cashless society' debate

    I too have been quizzed by the bank for wanting to make a cash withdrawal. I told them it was none of their business!

    Leaked Coles documents unveil the surprising items Australians are skipping from their shopping list

    Just about all the cleaning products in the article are just not necessary. Hot soapy water cleans just about any hard surface. Antibacterial products are just not necessary and in fact, are a contributing factor in the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. As for things like hand sanitiser...

    Mystery 'sale' price tag at local store leaves shopper baffled! What's the catch?

    I am so happy to learn that many contributors here are so perfect they don't make mistakes. There are literally hundreds of thousands of products in all supermarkets and each one is priced on the shelf by a human. That human (present company here accepted of course) is inevitably going to make a...

    Beware of where you park! NSW driver slapped with hefty $283 fine for this unexpected mistake

    Unless it is a one-way street and parking is permissible on both sides of the road! 🙂

    Beware of the new road toll scam: Here's how you can safeguard yourself

    'sic' in brackets is used to indicate that an error (e.g. a spelling error or a strange word) is simply repeated from the original source. In this case, the word 'passes' should have been passed. And another error is that the vehicle is not deducted from anything, the toll is deducted as the...

    Things to have in place important

    When my Father died my siblings and I had to navigate any number of things such as unknown bank accounts, access to his computer etc. As the days passed and we uncovered more information we collected all the documentation, communication from the various agencies etc and had it all in a box file...

    Things to have in place important

    Unfortunately leaving a relative a small amount of money (in comparison to large amounts left to others) would not protect your wishes from being challenged in court by a vexatious claimant.

    Beware of where you park! NSW driver slapped with hefty $283 fine for this unexpected mistake

    People just have to understand that the grass verge is NOT part of their property. Likewise, those selfish parkers who think it is OK to have half their car on the pavement causing issues for pedestrians (who always have right of way by the way) - people with prams, with walking aids, with pets...

    Shocking outcome: Alleged WA school shooter released on bail with immediate effect!

    All well and good but seems there is no work being done on her apparent anger issues. What happens when a customer pi**es her off?
