    How retirees could help slash your next power bill

    Not living in South Australia, but community batteries are popping up everywhere. Yes they save you having to install your own batteries but you still have rental/shared usage costs and if one fails, more people are impacted. You still need the solar panels and set up to access these batteries...

    Are your favourite songs and books at risk under shocking new AI law?

    I'd agree with you but, and it's a big but, I have kids and grandkids that I love and I genuinely worry about their future.

    'Ambitious' plan could see 80 per cent of pharmacists able to diagnose health conditions

    Can someone please tell me why a woman (in Australia, in particular) can't 'self diagnose' a urinary tract infection? And then just get the pharmacist to sell her the appropriate antibiotic? Sure if it's an ongoing problem see the docctor, but at the moment you can wait 3 weeks to get an...

    Are you ready for Albo’s bold new cash plan? Here’s how it could change how you pay every day

    Just yesterday we discovered exactly why we need to keep cash in the system. Thousands of people and businesses were without internet connections in south east NSW. Even supermarkets were only selling to customers with cash. All the ATMs were out and if you weren't carrying cash, you didn't make...

    The government has asked for bold proposals. Maybe it’s time to consider taxing the family home

    This bishop was not having it—Apparently, the choir hit a real wrong note

    Love the Dancing Queen finale. Even the pubs in Australia have to finish their music on time. Common sense, follow the rules. The local council wrote the rule book, not Jesus.

    Resident battles relentless Woolworths noise ruining home peace

    Silly buggers both work from home and spent 750 grand on a one bedroom city appartment. Working from home gives you option to live basically anywhere. I live in an area where the same money will buy you a 3 bedroom house, 2 minutes walk from the water, walking distance from doctors, physio...

    Worker defies rude customer and wins internet support: 'I'm done'

    On Thursday I was in Bunnings and as usual, had a chat with the lady on the checkout. It doesn't hurt to treat servers as human beings. I was absolutely stunned to hear that she cops abuse at least 5 times a day. What the hell is the world coming to, when this is one persons experience, when...

This was not Aus Post, it was Star Trak who claimed no responsibility as they had palmed it off to a third party who they wouldn't/couldn't name. Only got...
