Chris Bowen is cherry-picking the benefits of this programme. If we look at the full lifetime costs of owning such a vehicle, its a very different story: cost of the new vehicle; cost of replacing the new engine or batteries at end of life; cost of upgrading the grid to handle the demand on...

I haven't heard anybody complain about young children in supermarket trolleys, potentially with bare feet, unwashed hands, wet nappies, coughs and sniffles, noses wiped with fingers. Give me a cat anytime.

I have moved house many times, many of them international, and watched how thoroughly my belongings were wrapped by the packers. That's what we need to do when sending by mail. I don't recall ever having a breakage. Writing 'fragile' on the package isn't good enough. I know the P.O. isn't...

If I was a teacher I wouldn't want my students having access to a phone in the classroom; perhaps sneaking a look at it or texting each other from under the desk. Perhaps we should be guided by teachers' opinions rather than UNESCO.

I can't comment without seeing the official picture.

I seem to be missing something. Maybe it's my mind but what are the new fuel efficiency standards?

Alan Joyce has got a lot to answer for. I wonder when he's coming back to face the music?

Why are so many people so quick to malign Booking.com? It is absolutely NOT their fault that scammers somewhere in the world are cloning their website for malicious purposes. The same thing could happen to any of the booking agencies that we use. Also, how many times do we have to spell it out...

Go Mary! People who try to cheat the system piss me off as well. I just hope Mary was correct in her accusation.

If the local post office can provide the same service as a bank branch, then why is that a problem? It's the same service, just a different building and different livery. Everything we can do to keep the post office in business is important.

Common sense doesn't seem to have much to do with it. It's probably more about an opportunity for revenue raising.

It seems to have been identified by an expert already but it looks like a form of mycetozoa or slime mould; species of which are quite common in damp woodlands and gardens but not usually in such large clumps.

A cashless world will have a big affect on children; especially those that like to earn a few dollars and keep them in a piggy bank. This is how they learn about money. Are children all expected to have a bank account and a credit card in the future? Whoops! I just noticed that Maria posted the...

All the more reason for Aus. Post to deliver parcels securely and not just leave them on the doorstep.

Q4 should be; yes, it makes a sound. It creates sound waves which could be heard by any sensor capable of recognising sound waves. The philosophical BS is created by nit-picking people who seem to believe that sound only exists if it is actually heard by somebody or something.

They're just doing what they need to do to maintain a viable and affordable service.

I tried to make a transaction on Monday evening. I had to get a good night's sleep and make the transaction in the morning. Dammit! Such an inconvenience!

Arrogance, bad language, poor language skills, impertinence and lack of courtesy.

I would want visitors to my house to wear something on their feet and not enter with bare feet.

Wow! such venom from so many people. The Queen was a very hard act to follow and Charles is trying hard to do a good job but obviously has no hope of pleasing some people. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
