    Australia must wean itself from monster utes – and the federal government’s weakening of vehicle emissions rules won’t help one bit

    Politicians should start to set a better example - don't go flying around the country and world as much. How about using Zoom for overseas meetings & even within Australia. Might have more time to go to places like Alice Springs and don't really need to have all the journalists on board. Stop...

    Cash or card? Coles' bold new checkout policy might affect how you pay in the future!

    I have left items (not a large trolley full) at the checkout when they changed to more self serve (have never used them) as no one on the 12 or less. I then spoke to the manager next time I went in & he said the staff member at the self-serve can come down & put through 12 or less...

    Duchess of York shares shocking health update amid aggressive skin cancer battle

    Andrew I agree with you 'prevention is better than a cure'. My husband who is 78 in a few months has his blood test each year and also takes a supplement 'Prostrate Health' which helps to maintain a healthy prostrate function.

    Did a sudden show cancellation push this radio star to tears during a live broadcast?

    I live in NSW and have only heard Kyle & Jackie O for probably 1/2 hr years ago and I don't like them. Kyle is so crude & rude and just thinks he is the best thing since sliced bread. Radio bosses are disgusting to bow down to those 2. All about money & greed so I hope they end up losing money...

    Coles' major update is set to change your shopping experience

    you don't sound 'privileged' or a 'whinger'. It is another way of 'controlling us' I have been into my local Coles on numerous occasions and the only staff checkout open is the 12 or less which can have a big queue of people with trolleys full or just one other open. If that happened to me -...

    Buckle up! Virgin Australia drops prices to local and overseas flights

    my 20 yr old grandson is stationed in Townsville Qld and has spent 1,000's this last 10 months on flights home to NSW.

    The few times I shopped at 7 or 7.30 am (10 mins travel to supermarket) I found it was mainly emergency service personnel in at that time & a few elderly. It might depend where you live but most elderly I know in our rural town might be up by 7 am but as I said in my post by the time they get...
