    Would you pay this much for a drink? Shocking cinema price sparks backlash

    We go to the pictures regularly. It's a 45 min drive. $10 for seniors unless an 'art' film. My partner loves the 'experience' and it is our most regular form of celebration and culture. There are still brilliant films being made around the world despite 90% of it screened here is US violent...

    The World Happiness Report rankings are in! Australia’s position may surprise you

    A sample of 100,000 to represent 8.2 billion? That's pretty poor odds.

    ‘This missed the mark’: Labor apologises after controversial post

    ‘Labor is seeking to reach everyone with our message that Australians value Medicare...' Labor yet again attempting to woo those further out on the right wing. Wake up, Labor! Look left and reclaim the centre.

    Aussies share a 'big worry hanging on our heads' as cost of living continues to rise

    Our only hope for real social justice is the centrist Greens who now sit where Labor once was before Hawke. Right-wing federal Labor has improved the destruction and corruption the Coalition wreaked on Australians for the last decade, particularly with health reforms, but has so far ignored...

    'There's a lot that we could be doing': Expert exposes startling reality about Australian vehicles

    If emergency services were alerted, and responded, to every bingle on Aussie roads, they'd need a massive injection of funds to match that requirement. Seems sensible to me that the govt has rejected that 'advance'. As to our cars monitoring our eyes and hands on wheel, enough of machines...

    ‘We’re introducing the toughest bail laws in Australia’: What you need to know

    Gaol is just a training camp for organised crime.

    Is Australia expecting an enemy soon? Insider reveals details about possible attacks Down Under!

    In the last 75 years, apart from border skirmishes, China has been involved in 2 wars. USA has been involved in 37 wars, and that's ignoring all the countries they've seriously destabilised politically. Of the two, China is our largest trading partner, USA is our largest military partner. Both...

    Aussie homeowner's mortgage nightmare reveals chilling scam that could drain your savings

    Macquarie, AU's most rapacious bank, followed by NAB. We're forced into their digital world and then they claim no responsibility when thieves copy their system.

    Are you using this Woolworths perk right? See how this perk could cost your marriage!

    Woolies are thugs who keep AU gambling any way they can. Only use them when no other course.

    'Crazy': Expat shares his awe at how Aussies do this household chore

    That is not any kind of analogy as electronic processing did not sack 3 workers where 4 were employed, nor was it more efficient re typing (except for editing and corrections). Garbos were laid off en masse as the hydraulics came in. Did offices become more streamlined and hire less workers...

    Unlock the Secret to Lower Dementia Risk: Why Choosing Books Over TV Could Save Your Brain!

    I thought they were going to bring up the issues with electromagnetic radiation and blue light for deteriorating cognitive function, but no, they just claimed reading a book is more active than watching a film. Can't see their argument, and I'm a writer and editor. Activity is about the same, as...

    'Crazy': Expat shares his awe at how Aussies do this household chore

    'The shift to hydraulic lifters in rubbish collection aimed to alleviate the physical burden on workers and to streamline the collection process, particularly in urban areas.' The aim, as always with automation, was to employ less workers! Nothing to do with alleviating physical burdens.

    This restaurant slapped 1,000 'fines' on unsuspecting drivers! Why?

    Altona? New York Minute? I initially thought this was in USA as I believe promoting on windscreens is illegal in AU and 'fines' are no longer placed on windscreens either. This company could find themselves the subject of a fine for this antic.

    'It's cruel': Council's recent actions towards homeless individuals shocks locals

    Yes, there are camping grounds but during the summer most are entirely booked out with holiday makers. At Margaret River the council opened up new camping areas for the season this year due to the overload and folks camping in the bush and around town facilities last year. It still is not enough...

    Major deal keeps bank branches open—what it means for communities

    So you can't name any qualifications? The 'underqualified' Chalmers has 4 degrees, including a PhD, and an undergraduate in economics. If 'anyone would have done...this way back', why didn't the LNP? 1300 branches closed under their last stint, 2000 closed under current Labor (ABC) as digital...
