    ‘People were throwing up in restaurants’: Gut-wrenching virus sweeps through cruise ship

    I get this. These super sized ships are awful. I have no desire to ever go on one. Thousands of people together in a confined space..overwhelming 24/7! I too prefer a much smaller size ship. You may pay more but can enjoy a far better, enjoyable experience.

    ‘Australians have never tried anything like this’: A major food chain makes its move!

    I'd prefer to make my own gourmet roll. Cheaper, and just how I like it. The cost of ingredients pays for itself..you can make more than just one. 😊

    ‘She was a fighter until the end’: Reality TV star’s (51) unexpected passing leaves fans in disbelief

    I have watched the fab and often funny series Bling Empire, and Bling Empire New York. Perhaps because there's a Singaporean connection and I love Singas, or maybe because I'm Eurasian. I remember her in the New York series, and it is sad. She was only 52, so young. A tragic accident. Life...

    See how much this restaurant charges for fish and chips and whether you're overcharged!

    Come on over to WA. A takeaway fish and chips will set you back close to $22-25, more if you want the good fish! And around $40 for an in restaurant dine in experience. It's bloody ridiculous! Even the humble potato scallop/cake costs around $5-6 takeaway! Also saw one pickled onion for...

    Entertainment world shake-up: ABC cut ties with radio icon amidst growing controversy

    The stale suits on the board of the ABC, think a strong Lib component and the rather obvious direction the ABC has been taking in more recent times, like a Murdoch owned by proxy direction ... think ex SKY 'journalists' and programming, suggests that this bright and popular lady is 'not...

    Over 215,000 households eligible for financial support as minister urges everyone to apply

    If God forbid we have an elected LNP Federal govt, be prepared for the INDUE CARD to be implemented to ALL Centrelink recipients across Australia. They, the Libs have publically said so, all is in place and the investors, many who are current and ex Lib MPs are no doubt foaming with glee at...

    House-Hunters Bewildered: The Strange Feature in This $375-a-Week Rental Could Leave You Stumped!

    I think it's ridiculous and greedy! The 6am till 6pm lockout for $375 pw rental plus split utilities is crazy! To be out by 6am each day is unfair even if you are employed. Greed is not good.

    Viral photo reveals city's descent from paradise to crisis: 'This is so sad to witness'

    I disagree. The current situation in Brisbane and across Australia is a result of government policies since before the Albanese govt. People have short memories! Nothing was done about lower cost public housing, changes of policy re domestic housing investments and foreign home ownership in...

    Australian water source shuts down due to ‘forever chemicals’ threat

    The article states it's also found in water on Rottnest Island and other places, not only in the Blue Mountains dam. So yes, it should be a concern. These chemicals are known and documented chemical carcinogens. Australia already has a shockingly high cancer rate sadly. Personally, I use an...

    Experts predict more earthquakes after two devastating earthquakes

    Meanwhile Dutton wants to build nuclear reactors around Australia! One is very close to the area where these eartquakes happened. The area in WA he has also designated is also in a high frequency quake prone area. The dude is a complete moron!

    Government reveals to drastically cut Centrelink payment wait times

    They sure did under Horrorson. Many of the more senior, experienced staff, thousands of them were made redundant. I guess anything to make life more difficult for those deemed unworthy by that disgraceful thing that masqeraded as pm and his cronies.

    2024-25 federal budget set to ‘alleviate pocket pressures’ amid cost-of-living crisis

    Get ready for the INDUE Card if you are in receipt of Centrelink payments if the LNP get back in. They have no desire to let this investors cash cow go, many of whom are Lib Party ministers and members, and have said they definitely want it. We have a poor choice in our two party system...

    Woolworths blames flooding for Easter product shortages in one state

    Our shelves here in Perth, both Woolworths and Coles are shockingly depleted. Reminds one of the CoVid shortages. As both make massive profits, which I'm sure keeps shareholders more than happy, and natural disasters etc can and do happen, surely a reliable alternative supply chain could be...

    Services Australia not meeting own processing time standards, data reveals

    Blame is at the top. Jongen needs to be replaced with someone far more competent as head of the Department. Sick of the constant empty platitudes and excuses.

    Woman confuses cancer warning for usual age spot: 'This isn't something to be taken lightly'

    I had a tiny, tiny dark spot which was removed, it was a bcc. Two years later it grew back, this time they went deep and took a wider margin. It was done in hospital. It required 3 layers of stitches to close it. Fortunately no reoccurence. I used Emu Oil twice daily massaged gently...

    Flight nightmare: A 'technical problem' on a Boeing jet left 12 passengers injured

    I experienced similar to this once on a flight from Sydney to the Gold Coast. We dropped a LONG way very suddenly, there was no turbulence at all. Everyone onboard screamed. The drop was so far that the ocean was VERY visible and close, and I wondered why/how we were still in the air! I...

    Greed is not good. I hope there is a mass exodus of customers.

    Centrelink customers reveal months of frustrating call hang ups—are you one of them?

    Sick of the same talk..'we are aware', 'we are doing our best', 'we've put on more staff' etc etc...but things keep getting worse! The current situation is untenable. Thousands of experienced staff were laid off under the previous government, and now many now don't have the necessary knowledge...
