    Favourite takeaway extras disappear as new plastic ban targets everyday items

    Just an aside, I am surrounded by people (not family, I've already got them on board) who really don't care. Their theory being 'I'll be dead before anything catastrophic happens'. I find this so bloody selfish, some of these people have kids and grandkids. Leaves me wondering why they bothered...

    Remember when cash was king? Some experts say it could all vanish in just three years

    No chance. What is not accurate about Holden's assessment is that all shops close during a power outage. Just 10 days ago, anyone living in SE NSW would have experienced an internet outage (not power), the shops didn't close but a lot of them went 'cash only', including Aldi. I'd also love to...

    Woolworths slashes prices on 100+ staples—starts in a few days!

    As an aside, I don't see any of the listed products helping Australian farmers or businesses.

    BANK SAID...

    I'd have brought a bag of fire wood and told them that I bought my house at Ikea. 🤣

    Woolies just launched something new—and everyone wants one

    64 thousand dollar question, are they made of recycled material? And more/equally important, are they made in Australia.

    ‘Rolling in his grave’: Outrage over new price of iconic treat

    Not a great Freddo fan. My favourite, the good old Bertie Beetle has gone from everywhere except the Easter Show and has changed beyond recognition. 😒

    Are you making this embarrassing deed every time you shop for groceries?

    Witnessing two women walk through a supermarket, use a roll-on deodorant, re-cap it and then return it to the shelf was pretty nausiating.

    Kids have no idea why! THIS quirky pen licence tradition will take you right back to your school days

    Judging the content of a social media posts by Americans, I wonder if school itself is compulsory in the US.

    How retirees could help slash your next power bill

    Not living in South Australia, but community batteries are popping up everywhere. Yes they save you having to install your own batteries but you still have rental/shared usage costs and if one fails, more people are impacted. You still need the solar panels and set up to access these batteries...

    Are your favourite songs and books at risk under shocking new AI law?

    I'd agree with you but, and it's a big but, I have kids and grandkids that I love and I genuinely worry about their future.

    'Ambitious' plan could see 80 per cent of pharmacists able to diagnose health conditions

    Can someone please tell me why a woman (in Australia, in particular) can't 'self diagnose' a urinary tract infection? And then just get the pharmacist to sell her the appropriate antibiotic? Sure if it's an ongoing problem see the docctor, but at the moment you can wait 3 weeks to get an...

    Are you ready for Albo’s bold new cash plan? Here’s how it could change how you pay every day

    Just yesterday we discovered exactly why we need to keep cash in the system. Thousands of people and businesses were without internet connections in south east NSW. Even supermarkets were only selling to customers with cash. All the ATMs were out and if you weren't carrying cash, you didn't make...

    The government has asked for bold proposals. Maybe it’s time to consider taxing the family home

    So now you want us to be punished for being responsible adults and working our entire lives to own the roof over our heads?

    MAKE SURE PETS,...

    If it's a government building you may not be allowed to smoke, but I bet a lot of people (and their dogs) are left fuming!

    You Won't Believe What This Victorian Man Rode Into a Bottle-O—Is This the Most Aussie Moment Ever?

    I imagine that the party-poopers from health and safety would have something to say about where you can ride your equine buddy these days.

    This Unusual Security Trick Is Splitting Aussies—Would You Try It for Your Business?

    Assuming that it's private property, I say 'let 'er rip'!

    This bishop was not having it—Apparently, the choir hit a real wrong note

    Love the Dancing Queen finale. Even the pubs in Australia have to finish their music on time. Common sense, follow the rules. The local council wrote the rule book, not Jesus.
