    Joke What do you see?

    Very talented, Suzanne rose! Congratulations and keep going. I have done some pyrography in the last few years also, mainly as gifts to friends and family so don’t have too much to show. Many of my own photographs I have also had transferred to canvas with the intention of selling them, but...

    Recent visa changes raise concerns for Australians living and working in foreign countries

    Good for your son, BUT there are many, many more in limbo at the moment. Does the administration have the legal power to change things or is there another ‘power’ that is actually in control - or should I say ‘in control of, and under the thumb’ of someone who thinks the power is ALL in his...

    Recent visa changes raise concerns for Australians living and working in foreign countries

    That country seems to be going to the dogs under their present administration. Upside down, no one knows what powers the administration actually has, off-siders only in it for the money, following like sheep and too scared to do, say or think otherwise in case they ‘Are Fired’. And I’m being...

    Struggling to swallow could be a sign of this hidden condition - Learn about dysphagia today!

    My eldest is a speech pathologist - his first placement was with children with mobility & other severe disabilities. He was tasked to feed a young person with that person in a prone position and was very concerned with the person choking. He came home that evening and told us what he was asked...

    Diplomatic bombshell: Australia cuts ties with Iran as travel warning reaches crisis level

    Whilst it may not be true of this case - ever heard of DUAL CITIZENSHIP? Many of them here.

    Machete ban promised safety…yet two children just died within metres of each other

    Just a question. You say, quote: “The parents migrated to Australia to escape the violence. Their offspring weren't raised to respect Australian laws and customs.”. How do you know your information is correct, especially your second sentence? These two boys who were killed in this violent...

    Is saying 'toilet' gross? This American expat says so

    While most, if not all, of us disagree with pronunciation by one race or another, because we have come from overseas or were brought up by parents who came from overseas we just deal with it. My husband and I might disagree with ‘your way and my way’ of pronunciation but we do not go to the...

    Machete ban promised safety…yet two children just died within metres of each other

    I absolutely agree with your comments. Has it been published ANYWHERE, with absolute truth, that the gang members were Sudanese? I haven’t seen or read that anywhere yet. So ASSUMPTIONS and aggressive comments that “migrants should be sent back to where they came from” is not right for us to...

    Machete ban promised safety…yet two children just died within metres of each other

    I’m not a ‘do-gooder’ in cases like this but there are times when I have objected to some rude, vulgar, culturally offensive and inappropriate comments on SDC. I have posted comments before and have also commented today about the stupidity of installing bins near police stations and especially...

    You could finally get paid back for flight delays—here’s how

    I agree with you, Macarj. When we book we pay upfront - when an airline cancels, they need to pay back upfront also. None of this nonsense of saying ‘we’re looking into it’. They cancelled, they pay up (& smile, as I often say to my husband). Not our problem then we shouldn’t have to wait.

    Machete ban promised safety…yet two children just died within metres of each other

    Deportation of non citizens might be ONLY one small answer. About time we introduced some kind of law that all ‘weapons’ (especially guns, machetes and large knives) are kept locked up and away from access to children AND teenagers. I don’t really know what the effective answers would be...

    Trust your instincts: Why this woman's 'dodgy tradie' encounter should worry every Australian homeowner

    WOW - a big red flag staring one in the face asking for the house keys. In the first place why did he need them, was he going to leave his tools there overnight? He could have taken everything back home by the same means he got them there in the first place. Glad she saw through this scum-bag.

    Authorities launch probe after childcare centre mix-up alarms parents

    Was this child a very young baby or a toddler? I certainly would have recognised my 3 grandchildren (who hubby & I used to pick up regularly from kindy). Perhaps this person needs to be investigated (medically) to see if there is anything wrong before being allowed to pick up the grandchild...

    Remember when Macca’s bags only carried burgers? Not anymore…

    We don’t know if it was without permission. Maccas may have asked them to develop a bag to promote their products. If it was without permission then for every bag sold, wait and watch, there will be Trademark infringement by Maccas.

    Centrelink payments raise questions after long-term welfare revelation

    I’m pretty sure one can report to CentreLink anonymously. And I’m sorry you were in the ‘firing line’ of the threat from the solicitor. Sometimes it does pay to report (anonymously) over and over and over again to keep solicitors from threatening you. You can also write in to that Jorgens guy...

    Remember when Macca’s bags only carried burgers? Not anymore…

    Not in cash OR lifetime burgers, either. TACKY is absolutely an understatement.
