    Family loses $23k to shocking airline mistake: Could this happen to you?

    Airlines, including QANTAS are now engaging in fraudulent practices. It seems that they believe that they have the blessings of current governments, "Profit at any cost." My guess is that our governments don't fear us enough. Of course national police forces and Attorneys-General DO have the...

    Former radio host Alan Jones responds to indecent assault allegations: ‘Seriously defamatory’

    I'll bet these allegations don't get investigated either.

    Centrelink's Miscalculated Debts: A decade-long nightmare for welfare recipients

    Actually Scumo and his "brother in Christ" Roberts changed the law. They legislated that it was up to the accused to prove that they did not owe the money. And Services Australia could have you arrested and put in gaol if you did not pay the "debt" back fast enough. That is why neither the...

    Customers in outrage over discontinued Guzman y Gomez filling: ‘Bring back the filling’

    Yeah nah ... I don't buy GyG anymore. You used to get the equivalent of about an ice-cream scoop of filling. Now they use about a teaspoon. I go to Mad Mex.

    Home Insurance Premiums Skyrocketed by 28% in 2023: Here's How You Can Fight Back

    Of COURSE insurance policies have increased. How do you think that insurance companies are paying their executives multi-million dollar packages. Meanwhile, there has been an increase in people opting out of the insurance fraud where they can. Twenty three years ago I was presented with an...

    Centrelink's Miscalculated Debts: A decade-long nightmare for welfare recipients

    This issue ... NO, not "issue" ... GOVERNMENT APPROVED FRAUD, shows how important it is to elect a government that takes its duties of support and empathy to its governed people seriously. Much of this fraud was committed while a mean and vectatious Coalition government was in power. However...

    'Something has gone wrong': AusPost customer livid over damaged parcel

    Australia Post may PUBLICLY defend their parcel post service, but behind the scenes, they are still utilising the previous Coalition government's policy. That has turned Australia Post from a US Postal Service grade AAA+ service to a Third World, "WHY WOULD YOU???" service. I lost two parcels...

    Caught in the act: Supermarket worker shares heart-wrenching stories of desperate shoplifters

    What did the corporations think? Once wealth has been concentrated and the general population cannot afford food and housing, we are just going to meekly starve in the streets? If I see someone shoplifting, I silently wish them luck and go about my business. If I was a shareholder of a major...

    Customers fuming after ALDI's 'overnight' price surge: ‘It's getting ridiculous!’

    Try to see the big picture ... the object is not to save money in the short term, it is to influence prices and inflation in the long term. I will spend $5 to save $4 on a tank refill because increasing the discount retail outlet's turnover encourages price discounting. If every Australian ...

    Customers fuming after ALDI's 'overnight' price surge: ‘It's getting ridiculous!’

    Complaining about a FOUR DOLLAR rise! What about the 100% rise over weeks as the "inflation" bug hit? I used to buy fresh salmon regularly at $27 to $29 per kilo. And then all of a sudden the price went to $45 $50 per kilo. So I stopped buying fresh salmon. Packaged salmon rose by similar...

    Shocking incident: Car crashes into a Coles store, leaving two hospitalised

    Could Coles please install "NOT DRIVE THROUGH SHOPPING" signs on their stores! Although that Ballina shop may now be a "drive through" supermarket.

    What did this Coles shopper do that had everyone debating?

    Dogs, generally are not allowed near human food nor human food consumption. One of the original reasons for this was due to the devastating Hydatid parasite. Link to information on hydatids -...

    Is your motorbike affected by this dangerous recall?

    Weeeellll .... it is a Harley-Davidson, isn't it. Another of those "What did you expect" moments. In 2000 I bought a Yamaha XV1600. It looked like a Fatboy with its soft-tail frame. I had it for twenty years and only had to replace a rear shock absorber and clutch (after about 160,000 klicks)...

    Struggling Aussies are left waiting by Centrelink amid the cost-of-living surge

    You HAVE to attend a Centrelink office! I am sorry if you live in the bush 300 kilometres from your nearest Centrelink office, but THAT is a fact of life caused by us allowing those odious God Bothering fringe religion, the "Blessing of God brings Wealth" cult members run the Australian...

    Safety issues led to the urgent recall of a Steam Vaporiser from Chemist Warehouse

    Ah hah ... another substandard Chinese product with a high risk problem. What a surprise! As an electrician, I watched 25 years ago as the states and territories dismantled their Standards divisions. Standards were a sub-department of the Consumer Protection departments of the States and...

    BEWARE: Counterfeit money scam hits the Royal Adelaide Show

    The penalty in Australia for passing forged currency is 12 years gaol or for a corporation $136,000. That sounds "vigorous" until you compare the penalty in the USA. he penalty in the USA of passing forged currency is 20 years and/or a $250,000 fine. Of course, governments are trying to move...

    Why did Qantas forcibly remove a 78-year-old Vietnam Veteran from business class?

    Another example of "We do whatever we like." of airlines. this is made possible by the concentration of airline ownership. QANTAS wouldn't dare if they had real competition. Let Qatar IN! Give us the competition that those touting "Capitalism is the best" claim. All I see at present is...

    What offerings are in ALDI stores abroad that aren't available Down Under?

    I like Aldi Petro ... Scumbag petrol retailers in Brisbane were charging up to $2.30/ltr throughout August because the Aussie dollar had dropped a few cents on the markets. The scumbag "discount" fuels outlets had been charging as low as $1.68/ltr a week before. Aldi (Coomera) were charging...

    'Petrifying' sacs discovered in this mum's backyard! What could they be?

    "can't stand anything that flaps" ... I am surprised that you entered this thread! It seems that there are a lot of people that flap away about a little spider. Heh heh heh.
