    Fined $237,000 for hiring someone to remove a century-old tree—fair punishment or too harsh?

    Of course we are not privy to why she wanted the tree removed. Did the council have to charge her so much? I think not. Did they try to resolve the issue with her? It seems not or at least we have not been told. There is so much information missing from this article. Councils are just money...

    One neighbour’s complaint just cost this Aussie $80 a month—could it happen on your street too?

    How hard is it to go and get your caravan from storage? An extra hour to pack it sounds reasonable. So get up earlier.

    Aussies hit with hidden Uber Eats fees: 'Still can't quite compute their maths'

    I have used Uber eats many times and have noticed that even though they say "no delivery fee" a delivery fee has been charged. I have seen the printed receipt from the restaurant show the price they charge in-house and what Ubber has charged me. There is always about $3.00 extra. Delivery fee...

    Payments jump delivers welcome financial relief for pensioners

    The last pension increase of $4.60 cannot be classified as "MODEST". It is actually an insult to pensioners who have worked their entire adult life for this pittance of an increase. Did it help with the daily struggles of life? NO it did not! Will the new increase in pension assist? I don't...

    Thought you’d seen it all with vape shops? Wait until you hear what’s outside Albo’s office

    And the govt continues to treat us like children. Don't smoke, don't vape, don't eat this and don't eat that as it's unhealthy. There was a time when people had a choice. We don't anymore as everything has been demonised and become "illegal". When did we give the govt so much power over our lives?

    Resident battles relentless Woolworths noise ruining home peace

    I'm wondering if Mr Yang was aware of the supermarket's loading area? At $750,000 I would want to know what surrounds the building/home I want to buy. And I'm not surprised that council and the builders ignore Mr Yang's concerns. Are they being honest in saying that Mr Yang's noise complaint was...

    TV presenter faces court drama after scandal unfolds: 'Why, why, why?'

    These days its guilty before one jumps over endless loops to try to prove innocence. I'm neither for or against Everett but let's wait to see what the court case reveals before we judge. Is everyone here able to not judge?

    What did Jamie Lee Curtis say on the red carpet that has everyone talking?

    Why do we give these people so much time? These clueless and brainless "Hollywood elite" think they can say and do whatever they want. And expect the rest of the world to agree with them.

    Is this simple kitchen habit harmless or unhygienic? MasterChef viewers are divided

    If it's true that Laura wins, then her win is/was fixed. Blowing on the food is a no no and she should have been reprimanded. If I were one of the judges I would refuse to try it.

    It’s come to this! Fruit shops now need signs to stop shoppers from snapping broccoli

    Maybe if grocers and supermarkets did not include so much stalk as it's the heaviest part of the veg (yes, broccoli is sold by weight) then maybe people would not snap them. Unfortunately these day I look at the price of broccoli before I buy it.

    Hollywood legend reveals shocking diagnosis before cancelling major event

    Why would anyone that does not know him personally be devastated that he's ill? His career has been in play acting, nothing that will win him a Nobel prize.

    Homegrown women's brand faces collapse after decades of service. Will your favourite footwear vanish soon?

    Another Australian business bites the dust! When will it end. We don't produce anything to barter overseas and now we will loose more businesses that produce for Australians. To quote the Trump: "Let's make Australia great again". Let's start producing again for the world and for us. This...

    This sleepy coastal town is facing a makeover, but some locals aren’t happy

    I shop regularly at Tweed Mall and it's not a ghost town as your photo suggests. This photo misrepresents the mall. That Tweed Heads needs an upgrade, I totally agree. It's looking dated or as some say, it's looking tired. I can understand that shop owners and locals are wary of redevelopment...

    Aussie home faces restrictions for decades, discover disturbing trend responsible!

    Fear mongering once again. Can't get us with a new virus, so now they are spruiking lack of water. Interesting that the researcher has quoted figures from 20 years ago. How about some good news every now and then?

    Delivery mishap spreads online, fueling debate: 'It's becoming a joke'

    I fixed my delivery issue directly with Aus post and then the delivery centre. No more issues. People, try a conversation with Auspost/delivery company and maybe the issue will resolve. It seems easier to complain here than actually have a conversation.

    Delivery mishap spreads online, fueling debate: 'It's becoming a joke'

    I had the same issues and complained to Auspost 3 times. My call was to the parcel delivery section. After the third complaint I received a call from the manager of my local delivery centre. He resolved the issue and I get my parcels delivered to my doo. PS: online complaint doesn't work. Make...

    Something’s not right—shoppers call out shocking change in popular ALDI buy

    I wonder if all these intellectuals know that coconut milk or cream cans need to be shaken as solids settle? It really stuns me how people will complain about a product on line and not take the item back to Aldi or wherever for an explanation? You don't like Aldi's coconut milk? Don't buy it...
