    Fashion giant’s $25 million consumer law fine exposes shopping rights every Aussie should know

    I’m with you on TEMU. I did order a few things from Katie’s, Crossroads and Rivers, especially when Katie’s had their 7/8 length jeans, the length s perfect as full length for me - I’m sure I will be ok for them for many years to come lol

    The wait is over: Myer’s hottest item is back! Will you snag one before it’s sold out again?

    Not for me either but I’m betting TEMU will be selling similar soon, if not already lol

    ‘They’re everywhere’: An unexpected swarm terrorises Parliament staff and visitors

    I’d be taking long service leave or something if I worked in Canberra with my bird phobia. I’m a nervous wreck when the swallows start looking for somewhere to build their nests. I have a bird scarer under the car port. It worked a treat last year along with the reflective hanging things I have...

    Powerball and Lotto announce new price changes as costs rise for players

    If I won big I can guarantee I would give most of it away. I’d look after family and friends obviously but I have a plan in my head to help young families to buy their first home. I’ve thought about it for years, it might never work, even if I did win the money, but I’d love to be able to help...

    Alternative burial solutions gaining momentum amid Sydney's dwindling cemetery space

    I’ve seen there is a place that, I assume your ashes, become a tree. I think it might be somewhere near Mornington. I have the details filed away. That’s what I’ve told my family I want to happen. No expensive coffin, no fuss and ceremony, just remember happy times as they plant me lol

    Australian passport price climbs while visa-free access shifts worldwide

    Why does it have to be for ten years? I won’t be renewing my passport as I don’t intend to go overseas but if I suddenly needed to go, ie family illness, I would like the opportunity to maybe have a two or five year option. As it stands I’m not paying over $400 for it to sit on the drawer for...

    64 kilometres to the nearest bank: How a small town is scrambling to keep its cash safe

    It’s so wrong to leave them high and dry. If it’s not viable for them they could at least open two or three days a week with the post office as back up. They don’t care how their decisions upset peoples lives. I’m so surprised at the Bendigo Bank, being a community bank I thought they might have...

    Shoppers rush to score op shop gem that could be worth $1,000: 'They're investment properties'

    I kept all my records, LPs and singles. I know some are worth money but I just can’t part with them. I dont think my boys will be quite so attached to them when I’ve gone but that’s ok lol

    Shoppers rush to score op shop gem that could be worth $1,000: 'They're investment properties'

    We gave heaps of video tapes and dvds to the op shop when we moved. I wish we had taken more notice of what we had now lol. A lot of op shops were refusing tapes and dvds a while ago, maybe they’ve had a change of heart.

    Checkout checkpoint shows why new exit gates leave shoppers divided

    I went in KMart in Eastland, Victoria a couple of months back and they had moved the checkouts to the front of the store, it makes so much more sense

    Checkout checkpoint shows why new exit gates leave shoppers divided

    If you are an honest person then any measures they take to stop thieves shouldn’t matter. I just go about my business, there can be endless cameras and bag checks and I will go along with it. I have nothing to hide so I will never complain about not being trusted. The stores don’t know me and...

    Are Australians living in homes that don’t fit their lives? New data says yes

    We sort of downsized. More the size of the garden than the house. There are just the two of us and we have three bedrooms but we have a regular stream of visitors - my friend calls it the B&B lol. We moved to Regional Victoria, away from family and friends so you can’t expect people to get a...
