    Life-or-death plea: The lifesaving resource Australia is running dangerously low on

    This backyard project has sparked an unexpectedly tense standoff! What's your stand?

    I think seeing her fence is out of kilter she may be thinking you are encroaching. Maybe offer her a copy of a survey, then if there is still a problem she should get her own. So sad to start off in the wrong foot. Maybe she was the reason the house was for sale. Good neighbours are a treasure

    Birthing without doctors—is it brave choice or dangerous gamble?

    I cannot believe people allow themselves to be “influenced”. Just goes to show why advertising pays. At least you know it’s an advertising agency just trying to get you to buy from their accounts. Influencers get paid, but it’s all a con
