    Popular shopping site faces EU blowback over alleged illegal and unsafe product sales

    It seems to me that Temu is being unfairly targeted regarding various issues. I think Temu is posing such a threat to the major retailers they are making it a scapegoat. The general public is far more "savvy" now about purchasing goods and look for the best price they can for their items, and it...

    Popular shopping site faces EU blowback over alleged illegal and unsafe product sales

    Totally agree with your comments. Like you I have also done my research. On many occasions I have seen women's clothing in high end boutiques which is identical to clothing on Temu sites, but at an obscenely high price. People are certainly becoming more aware of the fact that clothing from high...

    Who cares? I'm surprised anyone listens to their garbage. I thought Australians had more intelligence!

    FAST AND CHEAP: Will this retail addiction in Australia bite back hard soon?

    Not a good argument. A lot of that "Chinese crap" is made for the so-called high-end fashion designers in Australia. Just look at the labels on their high-priced clothes. The majority of them say on one side of the label "Designed in Australia". However, on the other side of the label it says...

    Remember when this MasterChef judge ruled the screen? Turns out, success came at a painful cost

    Who taught this "reporter" grammar. They SHINED???

    Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron sue US influencer Candace Owens for defamation

    Rabid right wingers did the same to Michelle, Obama's wife. This is the Trump world we live in now where bullying, racism, sexism, misogyny, lies and sheer ignorance is becoming the norm.

    He wired $35,000 to his ‘pregnant fiancée’—only to find her real husband answering the door

    I have great difficulty understanding how anyone can fall for these obvious scams. People who do must be rather silly or extremely lonely, and I can guess it is probably the latter.

    He wired $35,000 to his ‘pregnant fiancée’—only to find her real husband answering the door

    Yep - me too - addressed personally. The SDC must think because we are "seniors" we are completely without intelligence and reasoning.

    Would you have walked in an MRI to help your partner? He did—and never walked out

    While it was a tragic occurrence, it was also human stupidity. I have regular MRI scans and am ALWAYS asked if I have any metal on my body. However, we are talking about a completely "dumbed down" US with the advent of the Trump agenda on education, and you have to wonder if the MRI technicians...

    Pharmacies are running dry! And families are already fighting over the last bottles of this medication

    Great callous response. Obviously, you are quite comfortable with genocide being perpetrated on Palestinians. Shame on you!

    Could a photo of your eye save your life? The social media warning you would never expect

    I can never understand why anyone would turn to social media for advice on medical matters. Surely, even to the most clueless person, if you have health problems, go to your GP for advice, not some keyboard warrior!

    Channel 9 fires TODAY host over controversial $50,000 giveaway—find out why

    All of the commercial channels in Australia are pretty abysmal compared to tv in the uk. They have their problem channels too but the quality of their news, current affairs, documentaries and drama are outstanding. The only saving grace here is SBS, and occasionally ABC. I will now hold my...

    If even charity shops are pricing us out…what happens next?

    Charity is big business now and, of course, the CEO has to be paid hundreds of thousands of dollars. They have long forgotten just why their charities were set up. There is no way someone on a low income with several children can afford their prices any longer. They are far better going to Temu...

    When men in power target children, should bail even be an option?

    I wonder if the fact he was a "Bank Executive" had any bearing on him being given bail?

    When men in power target children, should bail even be an option?

    That seems a very benign response since we are talking about (presumably) under-age girls. How would you feel if this was your daughter or granddaughter, whichever the case may be? Your response is either naive or callous, not sure which!
