    Should employees be fired for refusing service over politics? THIS Subway flag row divides Australia

    Does this moron not realise that she has the freedom to behave like this because of the thousands of Aussie men and women who died under this flag fighting for her freedom?

    From single mum to political powerhouse: Pauline Hanson's remarkable revelation

    You can look at things in that light if you wish, but I prefer to take the view that her story proves that anyone can make a success of their life without a tertiary education. That's providing you regard financial gain as success. I personally don't. There are many thousands of Australians...

    From single mum to political powerhouse: Pauline Hanson's remarkable revelation

    I applaud your view of the ideal world, and wish it could be so. Unfortunately, there are too many groups, powerful groups, actively working to ensure that this can't happen. The first time I was called a cynic I was eight years old. I prefer the term 'clear eyed realist'. While ever the human...

    From single mum to political powerhouse: Pauline Hanson's remarkable revelation

    Now, I wonder if you've read her maiden speech in its entirety. I have and I agree that the 'swamped by Asians' was a very poor choice of words. It displayed a fear of the unknown, because I do believe she'd led a very insular life, in a stratum of society with little desire to learn about other...

    From single mum to political powerhouse: Pauline Hanson's remarkable revelation

    Elitist, much? I have two degrees, teaching and nursing, and I'm here to tell you that every deadset idiot I've ever met has a uni degree. You only have to look at the idiots currently stuffing up Australia to know that the uni educated, elitist lawyers don't have a clue. Give me a down to earth...

    From single mum to political powerhouse: Pauline Hanson's remarkable revelation

    Please give examples of her 'racism, xenophobia, victimising and manipulation of the disenfranchised, warmongering, privatisation pushing, union bashing, anti-environmental stance and general divisiveness, and slavish support for corporates and the billionaire sector.' Just one example of each...

    Aussie seniors lose millions after Marketplace bed scam goes unchecked

    Several months ago, hubby answered an ad for a mobility scooter. Now, it's dollars to donuts that anyone interested in a mobility scooter is a senior. She begged hubby for a deposit because she and her partner were setting themselves up in their first home and she needed $100 to pay a deposit on...

    Mother’s 2 am research turns medical nightmare into survival story

    I had one of these on the base of my spinal cord. It wasn't discovered until I was 40 and displaying some weird neurological symptoms which didn't add up. As a child, I'd had episodes lasting six or so weeks with blinding headaches, nausea and dizziness. No reason could be found and in the end...

    Climate Risk Assessment's 'high risk' warning for 1 million Australian homes

    You're right! I say you're right! Listen to me when I'm talking to you girl!

    Climate Risk Assessment's 'high risk' warning for 1 million Australian homes

    I've read that 'climate change' will be looked back on as the greatest scam ever perpetrated on humanity. I have to agree. Since the BOM began keeping records, tidal data has been calculated in NSW at Fort Denison in SydneyHarbour. Comparing photos taken at high tide more than a hundred years...

    Diplomatic bombshell: Australia cuts ties with Iran as travel warning reaches crisis level

    Apples and oranges. The chasm between the ideologies of Australia and Iran bears no resemblance to the way of life common to an Australian of British origin, or vice versa.

    Singer endures painful recovery after major spinal surgery: 'I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone'

    I've had a laminectomy and five spinal fusions, thank you, nursing. 😂 I can only speak for my experience, but I learned many years ago that chronic pain is a very lonely thing. My Nana had a saying: 'Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you cry alone'. Despite shocking pain, I worked...

    'And that's a positive?': Aussies slam ScoMo after spotting him with controversial figures

    Please save yourself the time and energy you devote to commenting on my comments. I take absolutely no notice of anything you have to say, and I think it's sad that you find it necessary to respond to people in the way you do. Why are you so angry, and what are you so afraid of that you find it...

    Rideshare safety fears push more commuters to look elsewhere

    I've been in the position of needing to use taxis for a good part of this year. I have a Cabcharge card through my homecare package, which can only be used for taxis, not rideshare services. As I'm a grey haired, overweight woman about to turn 80, sexual harassment isn't my problem. What is...
