    Yulella Aboriginal Corporation's 'Vision' shop combats cost of remote living

    It shows what can be done by common sense community minded people and I take it no politicians. More areas could take this on board, it's obviously not rocket science.

    She squeezed her car beside a badly parked vehicle—petty justice or over the line?

    Some people park like that when there is no cars around, they just have no idea how to park and they are not necessarily a big vehicle. Just an ignorant driver and far too many of them around these days in too much of a hurry to do things properly.

    Are you next? Controversial rent advice sparks outrage as rising rents hit hard across cities

    With interest rates coming down there should be no reason for rent to go up. It has to stop as it simply is not sustainable and that is all there is to it. No one can keep affording to pay more and more of their income and still be able to afford to live with everything else going up as well...

    Lucky escape as retiree outsmarts $15,000 remote access scammers but others may not

    That is actually very sad that she continues to be taken in that way and nobody can convince her she is being taken for a ride. Someone on the other end is getting very easy money. She will be devastated when she finally realises.

    Firefighters warn: These common household items are ‘ticking time bombs’

    And you only need to live next door to a place that has been careless with one of these batteries and you could lose everything as well and it's not always a careless act. But it is a worry.

    When old tax debts come back to haunt: What seniors need to know about latest collection drive

    I actually thought it was seven years but that is beside the point. It has just been pointed out on tv that Optus hasn't paid something like 86million in taxes but don't quote me on that. Surely they should be going after these big companies who shirk their responsibilities rather than retirees...

    Why Australia Post's cashless move has seniors up in arms

    Let's hope those areas have a few regular outages then they won't be able to do any business and will realise the futility of their decision of no cash. Also the pensioners and people with disabilities in these areas can't necessarily just go to the next post office in their area who offer cash...

    113 workers thought it was just another shift…then THIS retail giant collapsed

    And unfortunately I am sure there will be many more yet to close. Rents are too high and there are too many stores not able to sell enough to make a profit in this cost of living crisis. It's going to get alot worse I fear unfortunately.

    ALDI's delivery revolution arrives: Your budget groceries now come to your door

    Groceries are only cheaper in my opinion if you can go and get them yourself. I know everyone can't do that I am just thankful that I can and hope it continues for a long, long time. I am not interested in getting anyone else to get my groceries unless it is my daughter or friend because I am...

    Trust betrayed: Aged care worker's alleged $30,000 shopping spree exposes Australia's growing elder abuse crisis

    I have certainly told my daughter I don't want to go into aged care. And given what some family members do to others and then paid carers, you wonder how some people sleep at night but obviously they don't have a conscience at all. Some people are a disgrace.

    'I was SO devastated': Why shoppers are upset with Target's Christmas range

    I thought the remaining Target stores were still Target stores and not k mart stock so that shows how long it has been since I have been in one. I have always preferred Target out of the two but very rarely shop in them these days. Used to shop in Target alot when my daughters were younger and...

    Campbelltown's $1,000 pool pass fury: When 'free' becomes very expensive

    And people in the area won't want to travel further as thst costs fuel, in a cost of living crisis for a lot of people every dollar and cent counts. That's an exhorbitant jump from free and if I lived in the council area I would not be impressed. You need to make sure you csn deliver on your...

    The dangerous new beauty trend putting your family at risk

    I am a melanoma sufferer having had several cut out now and not allowed any syn on my body. It is total cover up for me or 50 plus protection on year round to prevent future melanomas. I have been told any sun exposure is accumulative to helping get another one so I am extremely careful now and...

    The $5 billion airport gamble: Why airlines are giving the cold shoulder to Australia's newest aviation hub

    Sounds like total lack of planning and forethought to me. Transport links should have been ready to roll as soon as the airport was ready to open and anything less is just asking for trouble. You do have to wonder about the morons making these decisions after the millions or billions being spent.
