    Harvey Norman among Aussies’ ‘most distrusted’ brands, poll shows

    I find that Harvey Norman is predatory with their sales tactics. The sales people at their stores want to "make the sale" at all costs rather than be honest and informative about the products they sell. I try to avoid their stores at all costs but then The Good Guys are the same. No morals and...

    Foodie takes a trip to one of Australia's LAST dine-in Pizza Huts - still remember these foods from back in the day?

    Can someone please tell me what a "Food influencer" is?? Are they full of food or full of themselves?

    Trying to lose weight? Don't bother with calorie counting or 'diet' drinks, says health expert

    Food manufacturers don't care about your health. It's all about profits and zero responsibility. Sugar and salt have been used as a cheap filler for ages so it pays to do your research before going on a diet, especially those fad diets. The best advice I was ever given was that no one...

    This bride and groom's raunchy cake topper is going viral for all the wrong reasons

    Why do people go out of their way to be offended these days? Whatever happened to having a sense of humour? People are too serious and lose sight of the fact that life is short and you should enjoy the lighter side of life. You do YOU and others should respect that. You don't have to agree but...

    Hurricane season with Electric Vehicles

    Electric vehicles are a joke!! When you look at the energy used to manufacture these cars you will see that they are NOT CHEAP at all. Child labour in Lithium mines are never spoken about. The concept is great but reality paints a different picture. I certainly would not buy an electric car from...

    Aged Care Decisions

    Aged Care Decisions I would like to give out a shout regarding Aged Care Decisions. I saw an ad on this site and even though I am not a big fan of site advertising I understand that it pays the bills for a site like this. Aged Care Decisions helped me place my 95 year old mum into a facility...

    Bunnings Warehouse is making a huge change to its inventory - here's what you need to know

    Does this mean that you have to wonder around Bunnings longer to find what you want, if it is there at all? What I want to know is if they are still using facial recognition software for their in store cameras? There's nothing like being profiled while you are looking for that illusive product...

    Shopper shares why she refuses to visit Kmart ever again

    I will not use self service check outs, EVER. If that is the only option to shop at any particular store then I just won't go there. All these shops don't care about their customers or their staff. All they care about is profits and shareholders. With that attitude I don't want to spend my money...

    I’ve Given Out My Medicare Number. How Worried Should I Be About The Latest Optus Data Breach?

    You're right. It is in the government's and big business interest to push digital ID as it will further erode our freedom and privacy. Reward cards are a great example. Do you really think that they give you something for nothing? The value in the rewards card are the data they collect about...

    Controversial doctor who was fired for 'reprehensible' misconduct gets reinstated - here's the full story

    So Doctor Goyer is crucified for all the right reasons. What about all the people that have died from vaccine injuries since the mass vaccinations? Since then we have SADS which was SIDS when kids were dying from vaccine injuries. Over a thousand sports people have died suddenly from heart...

    Australian senior killed by pet kangaroo

    I live on a 150 acres. There are Wallabies everywhere and about a dozen that come up to the house. If I open the door some of them would come in but it's not a good idea. When scared they go crazy and would destroy the interior of your room. They are very powerful animals and should be...

    Research Shows It’s Harmful To Smack Your Child, So What Should Parents Do Instead?

    Daryl Higgins Professor & Director, Institute of Child Protection Studies from Australian Catholic University. First of all I find it a bit rich that a member of the Catholic University is putting out a paper on child abuse given the Catholic Churches' history on Decades, more likely Centuries...

    Want to help Aussie flood victims? Here's how to donate (and not just money...)

    I will not donate to Major charities again!! They are keeping a huge percentage of the money donated for "administration costs". I have several friends in Lismore and the response to their disaster was absolutely disgraceful!! Volunteers were turned away because they were not vaccinated. I heard...

    An SDC Debate: The Most Underrated and Overrated Products

    Beware of what kind of water filtration system you buy. There are some really overpriced duds on the market. I went through this exercise a few years ago as I live in the country and only have access to rain and spring water. Buy what YOU need. Not what they want to sell you.

    So you want to save the world by buying an EV

    I would NEVER buy an EV that is mass produced. The technology is flawed and based on the lie that we are responsible for the worlds' pollution problem. Please tell me how much damage to environment was caused by all the atomic tests? Nothing to see here. How much pollution is put out by the...

    New Battery to make Lithium Batteries obsolete n Electric cars etc- Patented by the University of Queensland -

    Sounds great but I don't want an electric car that is mass produced. It can be controlled by outside sources, trace you and stop you from going to certain "districts". Listed to Domenic Parrotshit's speech on what the are proposing for making Sydney a, so called, smart city split into 3...

    A homeowner's plumbing dilemma made the rounds on the internet for an unexpected reason - can you spot why?

    When I was living in Sydney I had heaps of problems with, so called, tradies. There are a lot of predators out there. Whatever you do avoid, at all costs, plumbers and electricians that want to charge for quotes! These are scammers!! They will come into your house, ignore the reason you called...

    One woman’s plight to expose a cheater who kissed another woman in a nightclub: 'I was in shock'

    What is the matter with people? Do they have such shallow lives that they have to interfere with other peoples' lives? Really? These people that recorded this should go and get a life of their own. They obviously have nothing better to do but should get off social media. Tik Tok is a Chinese...
