    Luxury car owners face shock as dodgy move puts vehicles at risk

    It is illegal to have an obscured number plate in SA too. I know somebody who was booked and there was only one minute spot that the number plate wasn't 100% readable. A lot of photos were taken to prove it. Case was thrown out of court. The vehicle wasn't illegal at all in other states.

    Shoppers reveal clever trick to cut weekly supermarket costs

    You need to know normal prices. Some things Aldi is cheaper, others they aren't. I'm very wary of their F&V. We discovered that if you buy theirs even in 1kg small bags you often find bad ones in the middle of the bag. Aldi is a 100% overseas owned company and the profits go overseas.

    This Australian mother is trapped in Peru—Could your help save her life?

    From palace to prison? A royal faces rape charges that could lock him away for a decade

    He should get 2 years + for each charge. That would make it 64 years so that would be the rest of his natural life with no luxury at all, including no access to TV, electronics etc. Trouble is the taxpayer pays for him but he can't abuse anybody else

    'Ambitious' plan could see 80 per cent of pharmacists able to diagnose health conditions

    I once had a urinary tract infection but didn't have the normal symptoms at all. Mine was uncontrollable vomiting. I couldn't even take slow sips of water. I also hadn't realized I had a high temperature because I always feel hot if I vomit at all with reflux.

    Are you ready for Albo’s bold new cash plan? Here’s how it could change how you pay every day
