    Should Kmart even be selling these items? The surprising legal truth behind the $10 controversy

    Get real KMart. This is dangerous. My grandson (18) bought his first car for $6000 cash (in the presence of his father). Obviously father did not do necessary checks as 2 years down the track he was followed into his driveway by (??) police in an unmarked car & his first car was confiscated...

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

    Do these ‘trendy’ youngsters also eat all their meals at Macca’s? What a load of cods wallop! Couldn’t think of anything more stupid.

    The audacity! A bridesmaid wants to wear this at the wedding

    Got married in 1967 at age 20 & been married to the same loving, gentle & never argumentative man ever since. My elder sister (by 3 years) & I married in a double ceremony. We each had one bridesmaid and bestman of our choices plus our 3 younger sisters were bridesmaids. Mum made all the dresses...

    One neighbour’s complaint just cost this Aussie $80 a month—could it happen on your street too?

    Yes, should have left it completely within their own property boundary. Court will cost a hell of a lot more than the fine. The councils definitely own ALL of the footpath, even the home owner is required to keep it tidy and, really, is that so hard to do when one mows their own yard.

    Are you at risk of a $400 fine? Aussie driver's shocking story sparks outrage at new police crackdown

    My comments are not aimed at you Jerry5 so please don’t take any offence. The so-called “pigs” are the first ones we will call on to save us in the event of a crisis, a break-in, an assault etc, etc, etc.!! Step into their shoes for even half a day on the beat or attending assaults or a...

    Are you paying too much for breakfast? Outrage erupts over shocking cafe prices!

    And a big, big stomach to eat all that! It looks enough for two, and I think there could be a lunch at home as well after that. Each to his own, though.

    Humiliating treatment of disabled travellers exposes airline failures

    WHY is irrelevant. Sometimes, articles like this one are given to us (read or don’t read - your choice) and SDC brings them to our notice in the event something like this may/could very well also happen here and affect us.

    Hospital pneumonia kills Wollongong man waiting for aged care bed

    Dear gamiry - I am so sorry that you have suffered for so long and ever so much. I do not know what it is like to have a serious medical condition, especially like the one that you have lived with for so long, and although I am against VAD myself it is not for me to speak for anyone else...

    One neighbour’s complaint just cost this Aussie $80 a month—could it happen on your street too?

    No, the ‘nature strip’ is just that - a nature strip - and not a parking bay for caravan or car which, while parked there, makes it impossible for neighbours backing their cars out of their driveways to have a clear view of approaching vehicles and/or pedestrians, and it also obstructs the...

    One neighbour’s complaint just cost this Aussie $80 a month—could it happen on your street too?

    A car is parked on the road, only just partially, in the front of a neighbour’s house and she always whinges about it saying “it’s so annoying that they think they can park in front of my house”. She does not realise that ‘in front of her house’ on the road means it is actually legally parked...

    It's almost father's day! Don’t even think about giving him another boring tie

    We have been told many times, on this site, that ‘articles with an asterisk’ (or most things with asterisks in the articles) are sponsored. Sponsored means SDC is getting some monetary incentive. Perhaps next time, scan through the article very quickly (just with your eyes, not by reading it...

    Thousands of seniors face long delays for government home care support

    I tend to agree with some comments, however - and regardless of where the money ultimately ends up over there - children ARE starving. It might be Hamas, it might be Palestinians themselves, or it might be Israel stealing the funds, and food - but children ARE starving. People and their homes...

    Thousands of seniors face long delays for government home care support

    Maybe it’s time for all you ‘KNOW ALLS’ to become politicians and change the workings and finances of the country we live in !!?? I hope I’m not here when you know-alls take over. And maybe you will change the medical system because you are showing signs that you know it all about medicine and...

    Thousands of seniors face long delays for government home care support

    You are way off the mark - CoVid WAS NOT INTRODUCED “to kill off the elderly, the government doing its utmost to finish the job”. Maybe it’s time you were not here either with the attitude you have. Tomorrow is not guaranteed to ANYONE.

    Thousands of seniors face long delays for government home care support

    I don’t know what the answer is but I think we, the more fit seniors need to stop and think about the funds available and stop whingeing about increasing taxes and ‘revenue raising’. It is definitely a vicious circle - not enough money funded to the right areas and being allocated to areas like...
