    Aussies called out for ‘gross’ weekend habit—are you guilty of it?

    I've sometimes thought the amount of litter lying around is on the increase... but my memory could be faulty. More bins is not the answer, that I know. Have you never seen litter scattered all around a bin as well as some in it? Throwing the rubbish in the general direction of the bin...

    Australian passport price climbs while visa-free access shifts worldwide

    My immediate question: Where can you get "a few nice meals out" for less than $50? I know of a 'cheap' wine that is extremely quaffable that cost less than $20/bottle last time I bought it - but last time I had a 'nice meal out' with a few friends, it cost more than $25 per person. And...

    What has been the most fun or surprising part of your 2025 so far?

    Going on a (regrettably abbreviated) trip through WA. Boat trip around Port Hedland harbour, courtesy Seamen's Mission - those iron ore ships a HUGE. Learned about the life of the average sailor (not for me!). Seamen's Misson invited those of us who knit to make beanies for the sailors...

    Teacher’s clever trick sends $10 Bunnings gadget flying off shelves

    Himself, who repaired Ryobi gear under warranty (when he was working for a living) and is a big fan of Ryobi power tools told me cutting too much cardboard stuffs it up. I'd still like to try! We have no recycling where I live (except the 10c bottle returns) and it is Very Frustrating to...

    Landlords say pets destroy homes—tenants say they’re family. Who’s right?

    I sincerely hope the majority of pet owners renting a property would take care that the pet does not damage - or pay for any repairs! Unfortunately, even if it were the case, the minority who don't would be the ones to stand out in every renter's memory. I've always been rigorous with flea...

    Think the price you see at parking is the price you pay? Surprise—it’ll always cost more!

    If the vendor only accepts noncash purchases, it needs to advertise the real price it is charging - i.e. $x + 10% surcharge. Although to add a surcharge when only noncash purchases are permitted is adding insult to injury.
