    Strange ALDI food leaves shoppers puzzled, sparks questions across Australia

    Dear god! Talk about first world problems! Get a grip people, and thank your lucky stars you live in a country where you have the means and the freedom to whinge about such an insignificant thing!

    This 'stubborn pimple' turned out to be something much worse – an Aussie woman's shocking story will make you think twice!

    I've had multiple BCCs removed and they were all removed in my GP's surgery at no cost. Some were on my face. I think if this woman is looking at $9,000 for such a simple procedure, it's time she found another doctor, one who isn't taking advantage of a young person's medical inexperience to...

    Aussie mum’s terrifying ordeal reveals shocking insurance gap

    I'd be very interested to see the statistics that show pollution from fossil fuels is increasing, because I find it difficult to believe. Also, most studies are showing that natural disasters caused by weather events are decreasing, not increasing. The Bureau of Meteorology specialises in...

    'What's his point?': Man heckles comedian over her story on-stage

    This is a bit rude, but apparently it served its purpose. My son went to a comedy festival in Newcastle some years ago. For the purposes of this story, it's important to remember that Newcastle is the world's largest coal exporting port, and consequently, there are always plenty of sailors out...

    Tradespeople make shocking mistakes at Bunnings you must avoid

    I worked for a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon for some years, and this horrifies me because of one case my boss operated on. The patient, let's call him Paul, owned a landscaping business in a large country town in NSW. As we had previously lived in that town and used his services, I was...

    Veteran’s chilling prediction about Australia just came true—here’s why he’s furious

    Do these idiots not realise that they wouldn't have the freedom to make these dumb choices were it not for our armed forces?

    'Beyond disgraceful': Controversial shop display sparks fierce debates about symbolism

    Still looking for evidence that any of 'these 4 people were behaving like nazi's'. The 'artist' hasn't given any evidence to support his disgusting display, and neither have those defending him in this group.

    'Beyond disgraceful': Controversial shop display sparks fierce debates about symbolism

    I don't care who makes statements, draws cartoons or anything else to lampoon public figures. I have got a giggle myself from cartoons, especially those done by the brilliant Bill Leak, whose son Johannes has taken up where his father left off. Bill died from a heart attack, after a pile on from...

    'Beyond disgraceful': Controversial shop display sparks fierce debates about symbolism

    Again, can you give me a concrete fact that proves Nazi like behaviour carried out by each of the four. I keep asking, and so far, I've had no takers. Anything? Anyone?

    'Beyond disgraceful': Controversial shop display sparks fierce debates about symbolism

    The difference is that the people depicted in the Australian War Memorial wearing those uniforms, were dyed in the wool, card carrying, fully paid up members of the Nazi Party. As far as I'm aware, the four depicted on the poster, are not, and if they were, they wouldn't be dressed in the...

    'Beyond disgraceful': Controversial shop display sparks fierce debates about symbolism

    Many on this site make emphatic claims about people they disagree with politically, as is their right. However, their comments are rarely backed up with evidence. Could you please supply evidence to substantiate your claim? What concrete examples of Nazism in the actions of these four can you...

    Aussie comic makes 'vile' joke at first gig, gets cancelled instantly

    I read about this jerk elsewhere and I couldn't believe he'd be stupid enough to think DV is comedy material. As a survivor, I wish dicks like this could be made to experience the feeling of being physically attacked by someone a foot taller and four stone heavier than they are. The constant...

    'I don't want to move back home to take care of my grandmother... am I being unreasonable?'

    Absolutely not! Taking care of the elderly is bloody hard, and it sounds as though your grandparents and other family members are entitled and demanding. If those living in the same town as the grandparents can't be bothered caring for them, don't let them manipulate you into uprooting your...

    The worst hoarder homes in Australia: Would you dare buy one?

    So many great friendships come to an end because one party gets greedy. It's sad, but I would have done what you did.

    The worst hoarder homes in Australia: Would you dare buy one?

    In 2012, hubby and I bought a horror house. It had been lived in by a mentally disabled man and his mentally disabled daughter. He'd inherited the house when his parents died some years earlier. He'd borrowed money against the house and never paid it back, so the financial institution had sent...

    My most recent bizarre dream involved me in a muddy field staying in one of several very basic wooden huts with thatched roofs. I had an open air kitchen in the middle of the mud and I was giving cooking lessons. I only had three students, but one was Gordon Ramsay! What makes this so bizarre...
