    Simple email trick could cost you $50,000 as couple shares horror story

    Yes. This is a scam. They are using AI to impersonate the Prime Minister. We have been warned about this scam. The Prime Minister would not be spruiking investment deals. His name isn't Trump.

    ‘Shut up’: Heated clash erupts live on TV over former PM’s explosive comments

    Trump wants the Nobel Peace Prize, that's what he's after . Otherwise he would have put all the sanctions he keeps threatening on Putin by now. All he wants is for Zelensky to cede land to Putin, who invaded a sovereign country for no reason .

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

    Maybe we could ask Trump to send in the National Guard. My cat is desexed and microchipped but I refuse to register her as she is an indoor cat and I'm buggared if I'm going to pay the council, for what??? Funny, in the seven months I've been here I haven't seen not even one stray cat. I wish...

    Simple email trick could cost you $50,000 as couple shares horror story

    I have steered clear of the Big 4 banks for years now. They don't care about customers just shareholders. Last week I made a payment to the plumber for my new heatpump. Because I hadn't made a payment to him before, when I put in the company name my bank (Beyond Bank) put up their generic scam...

    Centrelink’s ‘Special Rule’ Warning: Downsizing Could Cost Seniors Their Pension

    Surely our pension system must be one of the most convoluted and screwed up systems one could imagine. I would love to know just how much the administration of this "great stuff up" actually costs. The massive amount of staff actually required to keep track of the comings and goings of every...

    A 'hidden' price pinch could quietly hit your wallets this week! Are you ready to pump out extra cash?

    But she lives in the suburbs. I live in the country . Kalgoorlie is another 6 hours up the road and the fuel is cheaper there. Doesn't make sense.

    Writers’ strike threat puts long-running soap in jeopardy

    Well it's longevity obviously puts you people in the minority I guess. A show doesn't last that long without an audience. To each his own I say. I can't stand reality shows like MAFS, etc. but they keep making it so I guess I'm in the minority there. It really doesn't matter, change the...

    Safe at home? Here's why Aussies want stronger protections against intruders

    Years ago I had a friend who was a police officer. He said to me on many occasions that he felt the laws were always in the favour of the culprit, not the victim, especially in the instance of home invasions where the culprit sues the victim. He said sometimes they come up with the most...

    Safe at home? Here's why Aussies want stronger protections against intruders

    Obviously. Same here in WA. I have an out of control neighbour who makes a habit of driving through the colourbond panels of her fence, screaming and yelling obscenities, at all hours of the day and night. We have been told to ring the police when this is going on but on most occasions no one...

    Safe at home? Here's why Aussies want stronger protections against intruders

    Personally, I believe that if somebody gets injured while breaking into somebody else's property, I think stiff bickies. They shouldn't be there, full stop. The onus is on the home owner to determine the amount of force you are allowed to use to defend yourself or your property.How are you...

    Are your neighbors doing this? The surprising trick families are using to claim parking spots

    While I realise thst outside your home is not your private parking area, it is very annoying when your neighbours think it is theirs We once had neighbours with four teenagers. There were six cars at their place permanently along with young visitors. This meant that not only the road but also...

    The aisle’s empty and so are we: Loyal shoppers left reeling as ALDI and Coles quietly drop fan favourites

    I do exactly the same. Most things come on special every 4 to 6 weeks so I buy enough to last that long. I hardly ever pay full price.
