No it is not a freshwater croc. It is definitely a saltwater crocodile. It may have been cold in the early morning. They need to warm in the Sun in the early morning during the Dry Season. The bigger the crocodile, the more time they need warming. Often crocodiles are not seen, but their slides...

ABSOLUTELY! You have to get political entities involved. The Centrelink "backroom boys and girls think that Scott Morrison is still Prime Minister. They got their "backroom" positions by showing that they wholeheartedly agree with the Coalition's policy that every person on a pension is a...

I have found, Generally ... that is under normal circumstances ... the front counter staff of Centrelink are very helpful. I would like to commend the front counter staff of Gladstone, Gympie, Tewantin and Browns Plains branches. Unfortunately, the "backroom" boys and girls got to be "backroom"...

The 1% ultra-wealthy are working hard on a cashless society. The poor pay through the RBA inflation process while the banks and corporations record record profits. Pretty soon there will be no cash and if there was, the bottom 99% couldn't afford it anyway. Happy to be 69 and on my way outa...

"Bravest copper, nicest bloke" what bullshit! I met Rogerson along with Mark "Chopper" Reid and Mark "Jacko" Jackson when they did a national tour of the pubs. The only one that I felt was a total scumbag and gave me a feeling in my bones of "kill him before he gets the chance to kill you" was...

That poor guy has already been scammed ... He barely has a shirt on his back. His regular trousers have been stolen, so he had to borrow his little sister's pants and she is much shorter than he is, I suspect he had more brain before the scammers got his personal details, he only has the brain...

Don't worry, if you live in Brisbane your City Council is embracing the modern "money raising by scam" policy. I parked in a 2 hour parking space in South Brisbane on Sunday. I knew that I was running a bit late to meet my cousin and her husband for lunch so I checked the time when I parked...

In 1943, during the Second World War, Labor Prime Minister John Curtin fore saw thousands of battle trained and hardened Australians coming home to mass unemployment and social dysfunction. This was foresight rarely seen in politicians then and never seen in current times. Australians had...

Since we "baby boomers" are being blamed for everything from high house prices to student debt ... would it be appropriate for us to point out that Australia had a "booming" vehicle manufacturing industry and that no HQ Holden nor Ford Falcon was ever recalled? Ah, to hell with it ... When has a...

David Kosh is an accountant of the Deep Capitalist Corporate Era. Their mantra is basically, "Workers have to work harder for less and all will be right with my share portfolio ... WHOOPS! ... the World ... All will be right with the World." Unions have no place in David Kosh's universe, "Work...

Ah HAH! So the dark forces are playing with our sanity by revealing the mysterious PAPER CLIP! Beware good people ... they are coming for your stapler!

Both Maccas and Hungry Jacks have been reducing the sizes of their burgers over the years. The burgers are now on bun size that was formerly "muffin" sized. I don't go to either anymore. If I feel like a burger I go to a Carl Jr burger place. You pay about $2 more for you burger but it is a...

Ahhh ... a new member ... and a new member that wants to get noticed by "Build more coal fired power stations" statements! Well, pyggyp, I noticed you and now that I see your agenda, "ME ME ME, it's all about ME!" I know that I can ignore you. Bye.

Hybrid vehicles would be happy to help you out there.

A major lift in EV uptake would be achieved by government (State and Federal) policy in infrastructure. There has been an increase in public charging stations, but far to slow and not nearly enough. I believe that the Australian governments should have embraced and encouraged the hybrid ranges...

Cate Blanchette is a wonderful actor. The true measure of an actor is their ability to manipulate emotions about a character that they develop. Cate's ability to generate conflicting emotions in the viewer was displayed in one of her lesser known movies, "Bandits", with Bruce Willis and Billy...

It is LONG past time that the Services Australia executive were replaced. While I have only received empathic and timely help from the front office staff of Centrelink ... those that have to attend the real people at the counter or desk ... it is increasingly obvious that the "back room" people...
