    Aussies called out for ‘gross’ weekend habit—are you guilty of it?

    Lack of respect for everything these days with the 'me' attitude that many people have! It is time that there was more care and respect for basic things like not littering and dumping rubbish.

    Domino’s scraps discount deals—what the new pricing changes mean for you

    We rarely have pizza but had Dominos last week - never again - salty and lacked real taste. We did not enjoy. Though, we used to go to the 'old' pizza hut restaurant in Sylvania after church on Sunday and was a yummy treat, things tasted better back then not like now.

    Don't judge those pale apples by their colour... Did you know that they're packed with benefits just for you?

    Apples have not been the same for many years - I crave a decent apple like I used to have straight from the farm.

    Hundreds of families in limbo after long-standing provider ends disability services amid financial issues

    The NDIS seems to be a real mess and always has been since introduction. There has been so much mismanagement and rip offs buy dodgy providers out to milk the system. It is sad that such a large service is ceasing the NDIS arm of their services. I just wonder 'why' this is happening. The...

    The $146,000 installation that became Australia's most expensive week-long joke

    Councils do some pretty stupid things and waste money all the time. This is one example but there are so many more. I really question the need for councils - we need to think of an alternative to lessen the levels of government and bureaucracy that set up the mess in the first place!

    Member's Question: Can I access assistance with reading glasses?

    I have worn glasses since I was sixteen. Always have had my eyes checked every one to two years. Look for an optometrist who bulk bills, I think Spec Savers do. Many of the optical providers have discounts for seniors and healthcard owners, there are some that have recycling services for frames...

    Thought IKEA was designed to trap customers? They're finally setting the record straight

    We have often gone for a browse and ended up coming home with lots of extras. I like the set displays of possible rooms - gives you ideas of how things can work. You have to be disciplined when you shop there.

    Channel Nine executive producer resigns after THIS inappropriate Logies posts

    You have to be careful what you say online these days, as it can be twisted so much and come back to bite you. The concept of free speech is not as it used to be - you have to be so careful what you say and how you say it as it may offend only one person and then the trouble begins.

    The copper crime wave costing Australians their homes and livelihoods

    One of the schools I worked in had copper down pipes and gutters. We would often come to school and find that some had been pinched overnight.

    Teacher’s clever trick sends $10 Bunnings gadget flying off shelves

    What a great little tool! Ryobi are developing some very useful and small tools for everyday things. I have to keep out of the Ryobi isle at Bunnings, it is too tempting. If only these were available years ago when I was teaching - it would have lessened some of the manual workload.

    Consumers left in the dark about steep hikes to insurance premium

    House insurance is being priced so high that the regular person does not have the funds to pay the high premiums. Whatever way, you are dammed if you do and dammed if you don't. House insurance is essential, especially today with the weather change and the rise in home robberies/invasions. Where...
