    Is your furry companion at risk as new council rules threaten big changes for pet owners

    One of our neighbours walked into their kitchen and saw a cat on their bench. It had got inside through an open window. It belonged to the people who lived at the back of their property - so yes - they can do a "home Invasion". We are dog owners and our dog does not wander into anyone elses...

    Should my daughter pay for breaking something that’s already being replaced?

    She should not have been in his room in the first place. His space is personal and private. Your daughter would not like it if Mark decided to go through everything in her room. There are boundaries that need to be enforced. Doesn't matter if his father can afford to replace them. I agree...

    Backlash erupts after surprise council move leaves locals fuming

    That's half the problem. The media never seems to point out the actual history of Australia Day. Back when Australia celebrated 200 years, if I remember correctly, the celebrations in Sydney included Captain Cook's landing - which was never on that date. Since then people have tended to...

    Backlash erupts after surprise council move leaves locals fuming

    It is high time that people actually researached why Austsralia Day is when it is. Captain Cook DID NOT aprrive in Australia until APRIL 1770. An act of Parliament was passed in 1948/49 for us to become AUSTRALIAN CITIZENS and NOT continue being British subjects. Guess what date that act of...

    You thought crying babies were bad? Try watching a full-blown cuddle session mid-flight

    Why didn't the cabin crew tell this couple that they needed to sit in their seats with the seat belt on? Weren't they lucky that the plane didn't hit an air pocket or other severe turbulence.

    Cricket and Australia Day used to go hand in hand—so why are matches disappearing now?

    I do wish that everyone would get history correct - look it up folks. Captain Cook landed in Australia on the 29th April 1770. Australian Parliament passed the Nationality and Citizenship act in 1948. This act made us Australian citizens not British subjects. The date that this act commenced...

    The name game: Parents-to-be are already arguing about their baby's identity. Which side are you on?

    No, it is not outdated. A friend has two granddaughters - 6 y.o. called Audrey and a 2 y.o. called Margot. Another friend has 3 granddaughters called, Matylda, Penelope (never Penny) and Lyria. Audrey has never had any comments about her name. Since when has Ashleigh had two "h's" in it...

    She moved to Australia thinking she was ready…then came the 'dunny'

    The problem with supermarket trolleys - they are designed by men!!! Women would design them so that they would go straight and not decide to turn towards the shelves.

    NDIS pricing changes 'incredibly cruel' says remote mobile therapy provider

    Well, let me tell you about the highlight of my life one day last week. It was a "teams" meeting with the NDIS to go through our daughters new plan. No, we were not allowed to have a face to face meeting at the local NDIS office. No, we were not provided with any updated info before this...

    'Am I in the wrong for not cooking 'fancier' meals—even if my partner keeps asking?'

    I think everyone who does the household shopping knows only too well that prices just keep going up and we all have had to make some adjustments to what we buy. Could I suggest that you ask him what he calls "fancy Meals" When he names something look up a recipe for it. It sounds like you go...

    What’s the #1 Problem Every American Faces in Australia? One Expat Reveals the Shocking Truth

    Lived in England for a couple of years, Canada for 6 months - during winter - and travelled through the US. Every where was so overheated. It was a relief to walk outside. Trains so stuffy, buildings way too hot. Give me an Aussie home anyday. You can rug up and use ducted heating to the...

    'The worst I've seen': The smell of this customer's clothes was SO BAD - one staff had to wear a gas mask! Was it unreasonable?

    Maybe it's time for a little "porkie" Can you tell him that you have now been diagnosed with an allergy to cats/dog fur and that you are sorry but you can't touch his clothes anymore. Maybe you could suggest an alternative dry cleaner near by. If not, can you make him check the pockets...
