I would not be patronising Mr Wareham's bakery. I will not use a card to pay for a coffee and a toastie. I do not patronise hospitality businesses which do not accept cash, nor larger businesses that do not offer a choice. As was pointed out by Steve above, my $10 cash note will always have a...

Whoever posted that video clip is showing her ignorance. Australia has dozens of gun clubs with hundreds of registered, gun-owning shooters. Acquiring a permt/ licence to own a firearm in Australia requires a strict and onerous application process involving in-depth police checks. One of the...

What a ridiculous headline and story. Montecito is 60 miles / 100km away from the nearest Californian fires. As I have just fact-checked this via Google, surely this newsletter coukd have done likewise. Just another headline to get that pair unwarranted attention.

So any Mitcham resident who would be aggrieved on 26th January, would magically NOT be aggrieved on 25th January - a whole one day different? That's truly a wondrous act! What a load of utter tosh. Some people, a small percentage, live and breathe our country's perceived historical 'wrongs'...

I am not and never will be an Apple-anything user. If someone legitimate sends me a letter, message or email by any means I do not want it interfered with by anyone much less a robot. If someone disrupts or tampers wirh 'snail mail' it is an illegal act and can be prosecuted in the court...

Continuing ... Seeing little marmots pop up from their burrows, and staying overnight in a ger ( yurt), was seeing the incredible flying saucer cloud formations. An incredible visit which generated many memorable moments.

Had never heard of, or seen, lenticular clouds until a visit to Mongolia in 2019. A cousin and I went on a short overnight trip to a national park and among the highlights, which included climbing the enormous Genghis Khan statue, handling a very heavy eagle, seeing little marmot

This is NOT new. You (SDC) have run this 'news' previously. KMart has had their registers, stupidly, in the centre of their stores for at least a year if not more. Their shops and stock are basically Asian outlets with very little, if any, Australian product. Their staff is presumably...

Why is this needed? It's one more thing for every person in a store to be wary of - chikdren 'steering' in an uncontrolled manner, possibly unsupervised by their shopping-list focussed parents, disrupting the shopping process for all in the store. A supermarket is not a fun park which provides...

It would be interesting to break down the phrase 'the right price'. The majority of KMart stock is made in China. By whom and at what social cost??? I will not shop there, nor purchase Items from any online or retail store which appears to support the extremely questionable social and business...

I'm happy with my trusty 23 year old Corolla! If I upgrade it would definitely not be to a new car which has these intrusive features even if touted as 'safety' enhancements, and I was told they could be immobilised. There is no way would I trust that statement.

Great 'research' by Uber who, of course, has absolutely no self-interest in the possible consequences to their business of people ditching car ownership!! How does using Uber get vehicles off the road? It doesn't. Only reliable, easily accessible public transport will do that. And what a...

The dog WAS leashed. Did you not read the article properly?

I would think everyone knows about the ownership of Aldi, however their fruit, veg and meat is Australian, as is much, if not most, of their dairy, and many of their other products. They do support Australian primary producers, these fresh products are generally very good to excellent quality...

Maybe I've just been lucky but I still use plain, old MyGov which has always worked aok. I don't have myGovID, whatever that is, and don't see the need for whatever the new, supposedly improved, one is.

Some years ago i had a Powerpal monitor attached to my electricity meter. It was free through a government (Vic I think) initiative. It does not by itself save me money however I can check via an app what my electricity usage is at any time during the day, and the cumulative cost for the day. I...
