    Is privacy dead in the digital age? 'Consensual doxxing' and the consequences of sharing personal details online

    First of all TikTok is basically Chinese spyware, monitored by the CCP, that collects information about everything you do on the device it's installed on. Some of the things it collects is: Your device, your IP address, Mobile carrier, Time zone setting, name, phone number, email address, date...

    Centrelink has made changes that could suspend your payments - here’s what you need to know

    These "clowns" have no idea of what it's like to live ion the real world. They are just a bunch of paperwork shuffling cronies. Last time I went to Centrelink it look like rigor mortis had struck the place as there appeared there was no movement in the anywhere.

    Meghan Markle, Naomi Campbell, and more: Hotel manager reveals nasty celebrity encounters in tell-all book

    I'm with you. People trying to push in infuriate me and I won't have any part of it. I don't care who they are!

    Fizzy, sweet, and calorie-free - but what does diet soft drink really do to your body?

    Many years ago when I used to go to places like McDonalds I used to love watching obese people buy a huge meal and wash it down with a diet Coke. As if that makes a big difference. Diet drinks are a big con.

    Meghan Markle, Naomi Campbell, and more: Hotel manager reveals nasty celebrity encounters in tell-all book

    Ignore them and hopefully they go away. Unfortunately that's not always the case.

    Watch out, drivers: This lesser-known road rule could cost you a hefty $344 fine

    Not becoming a nanny state. We are one. It's all about control and it's slowly being rolled out but like the frog in hot water we won't pay much attention to it before it's too late. Just remember when governments increase their control and power they never relinquish it. Two weeks to flatten...

    Watch out, drivers: This lesser-known road rule could cost you a hefty $344 fine

    Great point. We are bombarded with all sorts of visual distractions on the road. What about road signs that are partially covered by vegetation?

    Watch out, drivers: This lesser-known road rule could cost you a hefty $344 fine

    What about the women putting on makeup using their rear vision mirrors to make sure their "war paint"is applied properly?

    Watch out, drivers: This lesser-known road rule could cost you a hefty $344 fine

    As you can see it's all about "public safety". Yeah right. Why don't they focus on people driving painfully slow or many other aspects of driving that a lot of people are not familiar with or just blatantly ignore. Things such as pulling over with your caravan when you have dozens of drivers'...

    Aussie real estate agent's 'strange' act rattles grieving family

    I spent some time as a real estate agent and it was a common thing at the agency I worked at. The slang for that was "coffin chasing". I would never take part in that as I think it is morally wrong but then the owner of the agency had no morals. One of the reasons I quit as I was not prepared to...

    Aussie real estate agent's 'strange' act rattles grieving family

    Flowers are just a tactic to keep his details in her mind when it comes to selling. I bet there was a business card attached to the flowers.

    Will paper receipts soon be a thing of the past? Kmart is going (mostly) digital using new 'smart' Aussie technology

    I refuse to use self serve checkouts. A friend of mine was conned into using a self checkout even though he said he didn't want to. He had a trolley full of stuff so when she scanned the first item he said that he'll pay for that and left the full trolley behind. Take that Woolies. If all of us...

    Will paper receipts soon be a thing of the past? Kmart is going (mostly) digital using new 'smart' Aussie technology

    It is all done to lead us into a cashless, digital society that does not have a place for old people. They are disposable as they are a financial burden on the government. By using your smart phone for everything you are playing right into the hands of those who want to monitor and control every...

    Beware: Popular family car model recalled over fire risk

    I personally witnessed a translator giving answers at a drivers license test. I didn't think it was appropriate to whip out my phone and start documenting it for someone like you. If you look at a lot of Indian truck drivers they have no idea of the road rules. Some of them can't even tie a load...

    This breakfast news program was discreetly axed after lacklustre ratings

    I was thinking the same thing. Talent?? Her?? Don't make me laugh.

    Beware: Popular family car model recalled over fire risk

    I totally agree. It seems to be all about greed. Many of my friends, and I, really tried to buy Aussie made or made anywhere else but China. It's not easy which shows you how trapped we are now by getting everything made overseas because it's cheaper. Australia has been sold up and sold out for...

    Beware: Popular family car model recalled over fire risk

    No wonder people can't drive. You don't even have to speak English to get a drivers license these days. What could possibly go wrong?

    Beware: Popular family car model recalled over fire risk

    I got my doubts about that one. They would be in damage control worrying about the cost of the recall.

    Beware: Popular family car model recalled over fire risk

    When I saw the headline I thought that it was about one of the new battery powered cars. They are a ticking time bomb. They catch fire for no reason and lithium fires are very difficult to put out as they burn under water. They had major problems with them in the USA when they had floods and...
