    All-electric homes are better for your hip pocket and the planet. Here’s how governments can help us get off gas

    Not just Coles, Woolworth already doing the same and you can bet the others are not far behind. In fact, Woolworth are already trialling checkout-free stores.

    Beware! Gmail users are being targeted by this sneaky tech support scam

    Much as I sympathise with your position, and you can indeed still pay bills using the postal service and demand paper bills from your service suppliers, it will cost you more.

    I get these too and have no need for either, no equipment on the first and not 'confused' on the second! I never get them from 'men' offering their services and promising me endless pleasure :cry::cry:

    Health experts raise concerns over escalating cases of infectious bowel disease

    The main issue with hand dryers is that they distribute droplets both inside the dryer that then pools so providing a damp warm place for bacteria to multiply but also in the surrounding area again allowing the bacteria to multiply. Unsuspecting people then touch those contaminated areas and...

    Think your money in the bank is safe? Here's why an Age Pension could be more valuable!

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

    Any 15-year-old who steals TWO guns plus ammunition, steals a car, drives it unlicensed and uninsured to a public building then shoots it up will obviously listen to his mother, right? I give it a week, if that. And the Greens want to lower the voting age to 16!

    You say " I am fortunate that I can access banking on-line and do all my business that way." and that is exactly what the ANZ CEO was saying. People have taken their business online so they close the unused branches.

    ‘Extraordinarily low’ branch usage behind creeping bank closures, ANZ CEO says

    I think it is 6 of one and half a dozen of the other; both the banks and their customers are equally to blame. First, the banks have ALL pushed their customers to electronic banking because they slowly but surely withdrew in-person transactions. Second, the customer then started having to use...

    Surprising Action by Woolworths Staff Leaves Shopper in Disbelief!

    Actually, that is not true. All the same infection control procedures are still recommended including hand washing, use of sanitiser, mask-wearing and distancing. It's just it is not in the daily headlines and people are too complacent to do it. And those same infection control procedures are...
