    Man meets untimely death at a Westfield charity bin: 'They need to do something'

    Further public awareness of other NGOs available who do help provide clothing and other basic items free to the disadvantaged, homeless, and lower income earners of our society. Obviously people are screened to avail themselves to these services. I agree Op shops have become a lot more...

    Qantas no longer holds this prestigious title after a catastrophic year

    The grossly overpaid, obnoxiously rude leprechaun is to blame. His incompetence and greed succeeded in ruining our national carrier into the ground. Considering his financial rewards for doing so, this is a farce in itself! So yes... withholding his ridiculously inflated golden handshake...

    This landlord demands these bizarre house rules from renters

    Whilst living under anothers roof does usually impose some lifestyle restrictions, cooking of food shouldn't be one of them! It's bloody ridiculous. Life is stressful enough these days without imposing 'Lord of the Manor' nonsensical house rules.
