    ‘This is a joke’: Grandmother slams $1,209 fine for road rule breach, cuts back Christmas spending

    The fine in S.A. is actually $639 & I’m ok with that, because I’m sick of driving near idiots looking down at their phones constantly. The phone should be in the centre console if using it for directions via Bluetooth. Her bag should not be where it was either & should be on the floor behind her...

    Bunnings forces to pull out item from shelves due to biosecurity risks

    I also bought bags of soil from Bunnings. I didn’t notice until the day after I had planted out 10 pots in our pergola area, there were swarms of tiny bugs flying around & in all of the pots. They were fungus gnats. It ended up taking me 5 months to get rid of them earlier this year & the plants...

    New aged care reforms to bring changes to seniors relying on assisted services

    I agree with you 100%. My son is on NDIS & even though all his needs are not met, we are lucky in this country to have aged & disability care. I am grateful for what we do have. There has to be a limit to what can be expected from tax payers money to sustain these schemes. If everyone was honest...

    Major Aussie fashion brand enters voluntary administration

    I agree the quality took a big dive. I mainly shopped at Rockmans. It’s hard to find decent clothes I like that are resonably priced.

    Gardeners Beware: The Council’s Latest Crackdown Could Impact Your Backyard Practices!

    It’s short sighted when councils plant trees, such as gum trees close to homes & trees with invasive roots that cause cracking in paths or lifting of pavers. We had a gum tree on the nature strip that was leaning towards the house & for a few years the council would only trim branches until I...

    My 30 yr old son is on NDIS & now lives in SIL, 10 minutes from me. I could no longer support him at home as he became more aggressive with me & his meltdowns are violent. I was scared to be alone with him. He has speech therapy, developmental education, occupational therapy & a behaviour...

    Struggling to make ends meet? Upcoming Centrelink boost still not enough for Aussies

    Yes it is a pathetic amount & the same for all recipients. This is regardless of how severe the disability is, which obviously determines the amount of care needed. When I was receiving this for my 30yr old with mod/severe ID, ASD & other, someone I knew was receiving double because she had 2...
