    Ranting online made him famous… but a $1 million legal battle might leave him broke

    Serves him right! The arrogance is mind blowing.

    You won't believe where this Aussie politician was just spotted—What is he really up to?

    As far as retiring prime ministerial behaviour is concerned, Peter Dutton’s approach is the ONLY suitable approach. He must have been bitterly disappointed and hurt by the election result, but he had the strength and dignity to keep those feelings under wraps. Contrast his behaviour with that of...

    A heartfelt gesture or boundary crossed? One wedding gift reignited an unresolved family divide.

    If you love your mother, I would think you'd want her to be happy. For whatever reason, which by the way you have no idea about, your father wasn't making your mother happy. Your mother's relationship has nothing whatever to do with you. Just concentrate on your own marriage. Give your mother...

    Celebrity sparks buzz with surprise move at coastal restaurant

    No, I wasn't having a go at him, I was talking about those who made him feel so uncomfortable that he forgot to pay.

    Celebrity sparks buzz with surprise move at coastal restaurant

    I don't understand the concept of a 'fan frenzy'. To me, Robert Irwin is just like any other Aussie bloke. Why anyone wants photos and autographs, I just don't get. It seems to me that people are becoming incredibly obsessed with 'celebrities'. I simply don't understand why ordinary people who...

    Restaurant boss slams own staff before sudden shutdown

    As I know I've mentioned before, I live in a retirement village. We have a female manager who's in her mid thirties. She's been our manager for five years, and in that time, I've learned just how different are the attitudes to work, compared to my generation. I was born in the 40s. Our...

    Restaurant uncovers sparkling‑water scam draining diners’ wallets at restaurants

    We don't eat out often because of our pension not stretching as far as it did. We have lunch out with our friends of more than 40 years once a month. Every restaurant we go to automatically provides a bottle or carafe of water, and glasses, as soon as we sit down. Mind you, we don't live in...

    Got a dog? You might be required to spend time with them soon—here’s why

    Look, I'm sorry, but where do you find a dog that 'snoozes at your feet'? Hubby and I have had many dogs in our lives, and they've all snoozed on our laps. Including the Labradors and the German Shepherd/Collie cross. At the moment, I'm in my recliner and our Miniature Poodle is asleep across...

    Police appealing for information following violent Yea home invasion in north-east Victoria

    One of the stumbling blocks in the way of returning these people to their country of origin, is that as soon as they embark, they throw their passports away and refuse to say where they come from. As someone who's been studying the problem for over 50 years - since the first middle eastern...

    Police appealing for information following violent Yea home invasion in north-east Victoria

    No words! All I can say is that crimes like this seem to be gaining traction and they're not being committed by people like the victim in this case. The fact that these vermin believe they have a right to behave like this sickens me, but, as the farmer in this case is an 'infidel', their holy...

    Calls grow louder for the government to stop stalling on home care

    And winning the next election.

    'I'll never be your mum': A mother-in-law’s blunt remark has sparked debate—is she in the wrong?

    I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I had the most wonderful childhood, with strict but loving parents. I always felt so sorry for kids I knew whose parents didn't show affection to them. I hope you've been able to form loving bonds in adulthood with a partner and/or children of your own. ♥️

    'I'll never be your mum': A mother-in-law’s blunt remark has sparked debate—is she in the wrong?

    I'd give anything to have my DIL think that way about me. We only have one child, a 47 year old son, who's been married for 17 years. His wife and I get on fine, but she just won't allow herself to get close to me. I'd always imagined going shopping together, or going out for coffee or lunch...

    Sick of paying full price at the doctor? A short drive could save you!

    The GP visit is now a source of stress for us. We only go when absolutely necessary - I wouldn't go to our doctor when a minor scratch from our dog got a bit sore. I ignored it and ended up being taken by ambulance to hospital where I almost died of sepsis. The medical team actually asked me if...
