I'm one of those 'specials shoppers', and certainly the number of specials greatly increases in the last 2 hours before closing. In Lismore, NSW, I have bought many items marked down to less than $1 from as much as $15 for meats, fish, and specialised cakes, etc. In fact, whenever I enter the...

The only realistic option to raising the rail lines and highway is to expand Australia's air-freight systems. Yes, it costs more to air-freight than rail and/or road, but by expanding the competition in air-freight services, those costs can be reduced considerably. It's an avenue well-worth...

Return On Equity is the vital information needed here, and it's very good to see that the Senators, led by Greens Senator Nick McKim, know the right questions to ask. The primary reason for the massive profits is investor/shareholder demand to always expect a larger % profit on their...

Bread rolls must be more of a city thing I think. I've never seen rolls at any sausage sizzle in or around Bunnings Lismore or the Northern Rivers market scene. The best thing about bread is that they often have a choice of white or brown (varies between wholemeal and multigrain). I would say...

The BIG problem here is not the concept itself, but the unfortunate choice of wording linking it to the term 'Peeking or peeping Tom'. If you changed that to something like 'Customer assistance portal' it would not seem as threatening.

Don't reintroduce the death penalty... that would be cruel! Bring back ye olde Medieval dungeons instead, for animals like this.

Of course not! What a ludicrous idea. For one thing, for young people, just as important as buying tickets is buying the right 'festival gear', i.e. clothing, accessories, secret stash containers, etc. The 'right look' usually costs more than the tickets. Do you also allow enough in this...

All seems a bit weird to me, but as an elderly male, I also get a lot of emails and friend requests from Facebook marketplace, gumtree, and on messenger, from 'women' or 'girls' very scantily dressed offering to show more, so the weirdness is definitely a two-lane street targeting all-genders...

Like many others have said, I am a regular TEMU shopper and 80% of my purchases over the past 3 or 4 years have been good quality, a few have been surprisingly excellent, especially the cowhide leather bags (except my wife and I now own 14 quality leather bags between us, which is a bit...

For the most part, like most people, I rarely have a need to use cash today, however, some of the uses for cash I would greatly miss if they no longer existed. These include supporting buskers, or helping out a homeless person in need; people holding garage sales, or a casual stall at a...

I don't really get it! I can buy 2 x 380g jars of crunchy Biscoff spread (total 760g) on ebay for just under $20 from retailers right here in Australia. Same stuff, just not inside a chocky egg. So then I can go to Aldi and buy a selection of Belgian chocolate bars totalling another 240g, spread...

I think if you remove the option of paying in cash from the system, you risk losing some of the simple things in life. The garage sales, street stalls, community markets, opportunity shops, etc. Yes, I realise that people CAN still pay by 'mating' their phone with somebody elses, but a huge % of...

It's important to realise that McDonalds soft-serve includes a range of ingredients, many of which are produced at great expense in laboratory kitchens, PLUS dairy farmers actually want to make a living as well, for some reason! McDonalds soft-serve ingredients include the usual...

Something like this might fix ALL issues around disabled parking spots. A marked loading zone between spaces defined by diagonal 'NO PARKING' lines, PLUS a HELP button for assistance when needed, INCLUDING reporting illegally parked vehicles.

They ARE parked correctly. Many disabled people need additional space to load/unload equipment such as wheelchairs and, in this case, walking frames. It is why these cars are not parked in the middle of the space, and shouldn't need to be. This is simply a case of ignorance of other disabled...

If dog owners are going to fence their yard to accommodate dogs, they should also be prepared to provide a safe access area for posties, meter readers, and anybody else who has a valid reason to enter the property. It could be as simple as fencing off a small corner of the yard where the water...

I'm sorry, but I'm on the delivery driver's side with this one. In the month leading-up to Christmas, there's simply no time to just stand and wait without knowing if anyone is home. Why didn't the owner just call out "hang on a sec" like most people do if there's a knock on the door and you...

The main concern for me was that the outage occurred on 'pension night' (i.e. when my Centrelink Aged Pension goes into my account overnight, with my regular bills being automatically deducted at the same time. It made it impossible to check that my payment had come through and rent/bills paid...
