    Authorities will introduce new passenger restrictions for drivers soon

    For each of our children’s 16th birthday present they got a pre-driving course where they are actually allowed to drive on a private area with road signs, traffic lights and even a hill. It included lectures from driving instructors and VicPol. They still admit it was the best birthday present...

    ATO warns millions of Aussies at risk of fines this tax season

    I have spoken to a few elderly people lately and when I asked if they had completed their tax returns I was told that they are on a state pension so don’t need to. This is now not true as all people MUST complete a tax return or they will be fined. Tax is not payable on their pension so long as...

    Face value: Meta's new feature aims to unmask scammers, but at what cost?

    It’s not only on Facebook. Google Ads has also been displaying celeb-fake scams as seen on SDC. Seems to have stopped lately so I haven’t seen any for a few weeks.

    Scam alert: Australia strikes back against social media fraudsters!

    It’s funny that this comes up right after I just read a “news” article on news.com. It detailed a so called argument between Matt Shirvington and Sam Kerr regarding her, apparent, sudden change of fortune. The article highlights an investment opportunity that the “banks don’t want you to know...

    Authorities arrest five scammers impersonating this Hollywood star

    Has anyone noticed that the scam adds (Guy Sebastian etc) from Google ads have disappeared from the SDC newsletter. For the time being anyway. Maybe my, and any others, responses to declaring them as innapropriate have worked. Let’s see!,

    Outrage over cashless parking meters: High costs and privacy concerns

    A story so close to my heart. Visiting Melbourne last week to visit our new grandson, we had to pay for street parking. This is the first time we have had to do this for at least ten years. Found a park, went to the meter (pay station they call them now) and was confronted with having to...

    Aussies will be shocked by what US supermarkets offer compared to Coles & Woolworths!

    While we can accept that the difference between minimum wages explains the reasoning for self checkout terminals this must, surely, be considered with the comparative costs of living. If it could be worked out how many hours of work it takes to buy a loaf of bread, a litre of milk and many other...

    Family of five's ordeal: How their caravan was stolen while they were inside

    As a caravanner I have always considered that leaving the caravan attached (and locked) to the car was a safe means of securing both. Who’d have thought such a scumbag trick would happen.

    Here we go again!! Pics of Guy Sebastian and Richard Wilkins with sad faces leading to scams that could rob you of as much as you want to “invest”. These adds come from Google Ads and if SDC cannot do anything about getting them stopped on this website then we may be able to do something. If...
