    Homegrown women's brand faces collapse after decades of service. Will your favourite footwear vanish soon?

    Such a shame. I've never bought their shoes. I used to buy Jane Debster brand when I worked. These days, I buy a couple of other Aussie brands for comfort. They last for years.

    Proposed Medicare reforms spark discussions online. Can these proposals help Aussie seniors' healthcare concerns?

    Dutton appears to revere the American way of life, which includes their health system. He dismisses the fact that American people's private health insurance pays for hospital, GP visits, prescription medication, blood tests, diagnostic imaging etc etc. If they don't have private health...

    Is this 'people power' at work? Major bank reverses initial decision over regional branches

    Fake closing-down sales by ‘ghost stores’ spark consumer warnings

    Yeah! Another one is Elle Melbourne who claims the same thing. They are based from Belgium and items arrive from China. No store closing down in Melbourne. I did receive the item though, even though the size was crazy. I ended up donating it to charity. A total fraud.

    Eating THIS could slash your risk of colon cancer—discover the potent diet!

    That's good news to hear if it hadn't spread, but I don't know all his details what happened like you do. It sounds an aggressive type to have chemo. I know a person who had chemo too after bowel surgery with biopsies. However, he had a few spots on the liver. This was years ago, and the...

    Eating THIS could slash your risk of colon cancer—discover the potent diet!

    I was referring to bowel cancer that is contained in the bowel, which doesn't pick up in blood tests. Blood tests pick up secondary cancer that has metastasized. Is that what happened with the person you know? Sorry to hear about that though.

    Eating THIS could slash your risk of colon cancer—discover the potent diet!

    I personally didn't have any problems with having colonoscopies. It's hard for dementia patients because they can't understand what's happening. :cry:

    Bank's $700,000 mortgage blunder sparks ‘torturous’ legal battle–find out why

    I haven't had any issues with an ANZ bank account. Have been with them for many years. This woman is in the news only telling her story. ANZ isn't allowed. I must admit, I can't fathom how ANZ registered mortgages on incorrect properties. Everything gets ticked off by ANZ lawyers. The bank...

    Such a fulfilling life. I'm sure some of us would remember your TV show in the 80's, if we knew the name of it. Those Koala ears are cute. 🐨

    ‘It will likely be a long road ahead’: Fans rally as Aussie music legend faces health battle

    That's bad news to hear for him. Such a talented artist. That hospital will fix him, as it has the busiest emergency department in Australia. There's lots of well known music artists who moved to the Gold Coast.

    Jeanswest puts thousands of products on sale amid administration

    Steer clear of Elle Melbourne website. It claims to be shutting down and going online only. They aren't an Australian company or a shop, but apparently an overseas company in Belgium. I ordered one cardigan. I did receive the item after a couple of weeks. It arrived direct from Asia. It's...
