    Julia Morris talks all things divorce and sex: 'I'm done with it'

    What a load-of ... ! Can I mention, first, that celibate means "not married," even though people commonly use it to mean "not sexually active." Blame the Church, of course, which decreed that nooky only took place within the sacred bounds of marriage. [That was Good Nooky. Some people...

    Drivers left in disbelief over shocking fuel price gap between two nearby stations

    The 7Eleven app allows you to "lock in" the cheap price and that price is operable any time, at any 7Eleven servo, for the next week, down to the very second! What that means is, even if you can't afford petrol when it's cheap, you can lock in the cheap pric÷ and pay that amount next time you...

    Drivers left in disbelief over shocking fuel price gap between two nearby stations

    The truth is, few of us know how much the Govt reaps in taxes, excises, and other money-grabbing imposts they disguise with innocuous-sounding words and phrases. The primary scandal is that although Govt rationalises these taxes by claiming they're spent on relevant services, the money raised...

    Drivers left in disbelief over shocking fuel price gap between two nearby stations

    I agree. Govt already has enough influence on our bowsers. But if you ever have to pay above, say, $1.99, then you're not doing your homework. Are you using an app like Petrol Spy? Do you keep track of the cheap days - they're a moveable feast. Plan ahead. It is doable.

    Drivers left in disbelief over shocking fuel price gap between two nearby stations

    We have a "current system"? Who knew! Other than the Govt of every colour ripping off motorists at every point. One thing's certain: we don't need more regulation! As for BP - here in WA BP prices are always top level. BP is anything but competitive. Meanwhile, the phenomenon described is...

    ‘Nothing screams Australia like Palmolive’: Why Woolies’ Australia Day display has everyone talking

    The display looks like it was very hastily thrown together. Decidedly unprofessional. As to ‘celebrating Australia Day as a team and with our customers’ did that mean instructing store detectives not to closely tail Indigenous customers for the time the store was open?

    Latest poll results shock voters: See who's leading in the upcoming election!

    Id like to see Dreyfus as PM - after Labor wins the election. One thing is certain - Australia cannot afford to have a corrupt psychopath like Dutton as PM, or even in Parliament. Nor can we afford another second of the corrupt, incompetent Coalition. Labor has done remarkably in fixing the...

    ABC News Breakfast hosts get slammed for breaking fashion norms–here's why

    Should a presenter’s style influence how they're perceived, or should their professionalism take centre stage? Dumb question. A presenter's "style" is all about perception. Medium is the message stuff. It has little, if any, connection with "professionalism," by which you presumably mean...

    Australians outraged: Is this beloved Aussie saying now considered 'tone deaf'? Find out why it's causing a fierce debate!

    You have a poor memory. Very poor! I grew up in an Australia where Chinese, Italians and Greeks were ridiculed mercilessly. They were, in fact, hard working - something white Aussies tended to resent and mock. African migrants likewise work hard. They are not responsible for gangs or crime...
