    Sydney dad gets fined $250 just because his son was crying

    I really feel for that poor Dad, he certainly has his hands full with these little ones but I also feel for the other tenants who are most definitely entitled to peace and quiet in their own homes, personally I'd hate to be hearing screaming and banging and temper tantrums all the time. A real...

    What a shame neither the bakery or the disgruntled customer can show a picture of the front of the cake! If I was the bakery owner, I would be taking photos of EVERY cake I sold before it left the shop.

    Coles’ major move against theft could transform shopping as we know it

    Isn't it a shame that retailers have had to resort to this? We all pay the price in the end for theft. I applaud retailers for taking this stand against dishonest people, there is NO excuse for stealing, not cost of living increases either, there are many welfare agencies out there who will...
