    Outrage ignites over the shocking discovery of a mutilated shark on Queensland beach

    This is far more likely to be an individual fisherman and his mates than a commercial operation. It is just a single shark - enough for a family serving of shark-fin soup. Had it been a commercial operation, you would expect to see far more dead sharks. Much like the plundering of other sea...

    Could Buy Now Pay Later repayments be forcing countless Australians to miss meals?

    Yes you are right. People still do that today except they pay for the item on say a Friday, wear it to an event over the weekend then take it back on Monday to get a refund. Some people have no conscience or morals.

    Poor parking turned public shaming: Jeep owner receives a flurry of strong-worded notes after parking across four bays at Bunnings

    It is not the car parking places that are getting smaller it is the cars getting bigger which it totally unnecessary, especially in the cities and other urban areas. I also park my SMALL car as far away as possible from the store entry AND always next to a pillar, kerb or other immovable...

    Stretch your dollar further with these three delicious 'salad jar' recipes that cost less than $3 each!

    I guess it makes it OH so trendy to put the lot in a jar. I have been doing this for decades using the regular lunchbox and a little tub for the dressing separately. There really is nothing new! Oh and less risk of breaking the jar on the way to/from work or school.

    Could Buy Now Pay Later repayments be forcing countless Australians to miss meals?

    Blind Freddy could predict that people were going to run up high debts with the BNPL arrangements. There is no control over how many you can have, with little to no checking by the providers as to whether someone can afford even one never mind several. All they did was play into the "I want what...

    Disgruntled shopper exposes Bunnings for not honouring Price Beat Guarantee

    Flight Centre also used to advertise they would ALWAYS beat a competitor's price. So a few years ago I was booking a series of flights to Cuba. I did the research online, found the route I wanted to take and printed out the itinerary together with the prices, and went off to Flight Centre. Did...

    Disgruntled shopper exposes Bunnings for not honouring Price Beat Guarantee

    Did you miss the bit where it says: The policy can be applied to items on sale (except for competitors' trade quotes, commercial quantities, and items sold by other Bunnings Group businesses and Bunnings Marketplace)? That would mean an item at another Bunnings store would NOT be subjected to...

    Kmart shopper's tip lets you grab a bargain 10-pack of soap!

    Yes and sometimes the formula of the product is a bit different too. Compare for example UK and Australian versions of Cadbury chocolate. There is a distinct flavour difference. Same goes for soaps, shampoo, laundry powders etc. Same same but different.

    Another email scam

    It will stop the emails from that particular email address. It will not stop all the others though. All the sender has to do is change a single letter in the name or URL and your block will fail (because it is not the same address). Unfortunately, scammers and spammers are very adept at doing...

    Another email scam

    Actually, one solution is to add those addresses to your contacts. Right-click on the address and add it as a contact. Then go to your contacts and block the email address and delete. That works!

    Businesswoman scammed out of $42,000 in seconds: could this text message be a threat to you too?

    That was my thought too. And the errant customer was on hold for assistance whilst the bank was telling her it looked fraudulent. Yes she pulled the trigger but the bank didn't help! She should have had a fighting chance of stopping the transaction but for the delays at the bank.

    State government to spend $515m on recycling system reform. Is this a waste of taxpayer money?

    It can be fun to do that but remember that if you reply they then know your email address is live and you could be subjected to ongoing scams with different names. Block the sender!
