    $8.50 for a single bottle of water—should students really be paying this?

    Dear member [email protected], good afternoon. Thankyou for your post. I agree, but then can you take Melbourne's best tap water COLD into the class room. The issue here is about the double price of the bottle of water that is sold at University. This is a University campus, not a...

    $8.50 for a single bottle of water—should students really be paying this?

    Dear member Clancieblue, thankyou for your post. May I ask did you bring food from home to work or when you went to uni, or did you purchase your lunch at uni as you would most probably have enough books to carry with you anyway. Same goes with water, when I went to University, I could barely...

    $8.50 for a single bottle of water—should students really be paying this?

    Dear member Jest, thankyou for your post. The water in the University taps are not cold on hot days. Second, students want to be able to have access to a cold bottle of water in class, when then are working hard and become thirsty, on hot days. No one is dumb here as you write in your post...

    Could slower streets save lives? The push for 30km/h zones gains momentum

    So many drivers ignore the road works signs that show a 20km speed limit. I feel like a snail keeping to the 20km speed limit whilst all cars are driving at higher speeds beside me. It happens all the time. If police want to catch these drivers, who feel invinsible and above the law, and don't...

    $1850 lost in a plumbing scam—here’s what you should know before your next emergency call
