    This Aussie state’s drivers unlock massive convenience with game-changing digital update!

    Tried that and was told my digital licence was “not available”. Maybe cos it’s about to expire. Shall wait and see. BTW the first trial in Ballarat failed as email addresses were mixed up. They must have changed a few connections around now.

    Social media scam victim on a mission for a nationwide call to action against fraud syndicates

    All this article refers to is ads on Facebook. Yes they are there but also adds appearing in “Google ads”. How else do they appear on this (SDC) popular website? Unless there is something in the background that we do not get to see. Just saying!!

    Woolworths fined for selling stale fare, leaving customers feeling sour!

    I can’t understand how the product was scanned at the checkout. I have presented food that was past the use by date and it wouldn’t scan so the operator put it to one side.

    Now there’s a thought!! We have all been brought up with the warning that foodstuffs such as meat and fish should not be refrozen once defrosted. The reason being that any bacteria introduced during the initial defrosting could be frozen within the product and not killed by the refreezing...
