    An Aussie woman is disputing her $1000 driving offence, but some people think she deserved it – do you agree?

    I agree with so many of the other posters she was the driver of a car on the freeway and she should have had her hands on the wheel, a fine was fully justified. If she was so desperate for a cigarette that she had to roll one why driving maybe she should look at giving up.

    Shoppers are under fire for their 'lazy' freezer aisle habits – are you guilty of this?

    Unfortunately not only Woolworths but also Coles. When my daughter worked at Coles nearly 20 years ago they had the same problem even back then. She sometimes lost track of the amount of waste she had to write off because people had dumped it somewhere else in the supermarket = it is that sort...

    Confused Queensland resident mulls action on ‘very harsh’ $96 infringement fine

    It is a rule basically practiced with a lot of local councils that if you park in the driveway but outside the property line you are in the public domain and therefore obstructing pedestrians or other users, there does not need a footpath to be there. Most people usually place their mailbox on...

    Aussie mum’s ‘Frozen’ cake takes a hilariously disastrous turn

    I am 65 and my children are 38 and 36 and I made many cakes for them and even with the Women's Weekley Birthday Cake cookbook (which I still have) I had disasters as far as decorating went but the cake usually tasted great.

    Driver draws flak online for 'selfish' parking act – is this behaviour okay?

    No not acceptable but the worst act I have seen (to me at least) is when a car which did not have an acrod (for disabled parking) parked between two disabled parking bays now that is selfish.

    Shopper calls out Coles for 'unhygienic' find in the supermarket

    I can remember an article where a Woolies store was concerned re pigeon droppings etc. but it was due to the design of the entry to the shopping centre which allowed the birds to roost and breed - maybe they have a similar problem here, therefore not making the supermarket at fault but the...

    Bondi locals rally behind 12-year-old boy whose beach business was shut down after council crackdown

    I would like to know if the complainants were local business people possible running business's selling similar goods just as not well placed as Jesse to get those walking directly past Jesse so they have to go out of their way to get to their business's.

    Suburb residents may face up to $5,000 in fines for this rubbish bin 'mistake'

    Not Victoria Park but the City Of Gosnells and we have had our 2 bins (1 black and the other for recyclables with a yellow lid) since 1990 and even though they get washed out regularly they do smell.

    Cadbury's iconic purple wrappers are getting a makeover

    Not unusual for products that distributed internationally to be tweaked differently for different countries. An example a friend went to America where he was given a snack which was supposed to be hot but to him it was not but it was delicious and he ate it to their amazement as though it was...

    Mum blamed for daughter’s early development after feeding her food that’s ‘full of hormones’

    Well how does that explain my situation - I am 65 and started menstruating at 10 years of age, a year earlier than my older sister (5 years older - she started at 16) and we did not eat a lot of chicken and most of those that we ate were old boilers (old laying hens),

    Yes I believe in it and in my family (born in Scotland) we called it being fey and my paternal grandmother was very much so.

    New checkout technology in Woolies supermarkets - have you seen them already?

    Did a shop at Coles the other day and only 2 manned check out and one was 12 or less otherwise only self-serve and there was 6 people (me included) with trolleys with various amounts in them (from fully laden to more than a dozen items) waiting to be served but no other check outs being open or...

    Well I was part of a fund raising group doing so at Bunnings nearly 30 years ago here in Perth and it was rolls and as far as I can remember and it still is bread rolls.

    'Ripping us off': Shopper left fuming after discovering 'underweight' meat purchase

    Woolies - mince on several occasions but it has only been a few grams equating to about 1 teaspoon but even then if every package of mince they sold was only a teaspoon short of product that could add up to a lot of mince and money. Also legally the contents should weight what they say on the...
