    Nearly 1,000 drivers facing toll costs over $10,000—is reform coming soon?

    How did these people drive to work etc before the toll roads were built. At $30,000 a year it might be time to move to a different suburb, or find a new job. Even if I could afford that amount, there's no way I would pay it. That's a yearly first class holiday going begging.

    Why are Australians resisting cashless future despite digital payment bloom?

    Rubbish! Who is the other that the bank charges a fee. My card is a Visa debit card linked to my savings account. When I flash that card to pay a bill, the money comes out of my account more or less straight away. I hear people putting forward the argument that what happens if the system...

    ‘Not a pleasant thing’: Princess Kate reportedly ‘struggles’ as she proceeds with cancer treatment

    Seeing as we're in the nit picking mode, Queen Elizabeth hasn't been an HRH since February 6 1952 when her father died. Since then her honorific has been Her Majesty. Also, all these "royal experts" are becoming as bad as the chooks of the press, and Buckingham Palace needs to identify all...

    Passengers shocked as Jetstar crew makes unusual pre-takeoff announcement

    Only on Jetstar!! What load of horse feathers. This should be sorted out at the seat allocation stage. I hear a rumor that their next plan is one to allow an aircraft to take off when exceeding the maximum takeoff weight. All passengers will be required to stand during the takeoff roll, and...

    Urgent: Asbestos spreads in schools and ALDI supermarket

    Far more dangerous than asbestos is dihydrogen monoxide, which is a hundred times more dangerous. If it gets into your lungs, you will die in minutes without treatment.It is very very quick to kill. Maybe then we should be contemplating banning it, and removing it wherever we find it.

    Man cops fines worth $800 over risky road act

    Maybe removing all of those depth indicators would cause the idiots not to know how deep it was, and the sign replaced with one that said "Rescue will not be attempted until the water level has cleared the road".

    One FACT that these idiots can't explain, or choose to ignore, is the tens of thousands of deaths from Covid BEFORE a vaccine was found and made available. Remember the race and scrabble between the researchers of the many companies conducting trials etc.
