    Customer slams Woolworths for deceptive signage: ‘Another shonky tactic’

    I have encountered this on more than one occasion at Coles in Kelmscott. I now always read the sign small print to double check it is the item I am buying at the cheap/marked down price.

    Grounded by weight: Virgin Australia denies woman’s flight due to 'heavy' wheelchair

    I have taken my walker on a few Virgin Australia flights from Perth to Sydney and Melbourne and they have always been helpful getting me onboard leaving the walker at the door of the aircraft in the airbridge and they have it at the door of the aircraft when I disembark. So far so good.

    You can score KitchenAid cookware at Coles—here’s how!

    That's only 15 points collected. 15 points cost you $300 so you are eventually getting NOTHING for FREE aa you are paying to collect points. I spent $154 today and gained 11 points [that is of course with some bonus points]. So by the time I can get an item will have to spend 5 or 6 hundred...

    Qantas jet makes emergency landing due to engine failure

    Most probably a missed approach. The aircraft may have been no ''stable'' for landing or landing too far past the piano keys at the threshold of the runway. Not a rare event. Could also have been an obstruction on the runway.

    Qantas jet makes emergency landing due to engine failure

    Exactly - no great drama. One engine out is really no great deal, the aircraft can safely fly on one engine. It's when two engines fail on a two engined aircraft that you start to change your underwear.
