    Royal couple's friend shares Prince William's and Princess Catherine's struggles amid cancer diagnosis

    They are no longer referred to as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. While they still hold those titles they are now the Prince and Princess of Wales. Please try to get these things correct. Also there have been no public appearances by them both. The Princess was forced to make a video even...

    New budget proposal may put extra $2000 on Aussie households

    Increased taxes on everything that they can tax that is not income.

    New budget proposal may put extra $2000 on Aussie households

    This is just electioneering in its early stages. Labor are terrified at the drop in their primary vote and no matter how rude they are about the Coalition they will have to do a deal with the Greens and maybe others in order to form a government. Votes for tiny parties are a waste as they never...

    Welfare boost on the horizon: Treasurer hints at significant increase ahead of federal budget

    I’m afraid I have to disagree with you. For years now groups of four or five young people have managed to rent a place and pool their money so they can pay bills and eat and spend their days surfing or on the internet. They definitely do not want to work. They might have seen their parents doing...

    Welfare boost on the horizon: Treasurer hints at significant increase ahead of federal budget

    While I feel sorry for those who really want a job and cannot get one, I am fed up with the constant whining of those on Jobseeker allowance who complain that they have to apply for so many jobs a week. I especially am annoyed by those who apply for jobs that they know they are not qualified to...

    Driving shift: Senior road safety debate heats up in this Aussie state

    This article talks about a youngster killed by an older driver. I see no mention of the large number of older people injured or killed by young drivers who don‘t know how to drive safely, according to the road conditions and without a car full of their friends egging them on to speed or overtake...

    Report reveals new details about Princess of Wales—will she be back anytime soon?

    I am so tired of people trying to make stories out of what is normal chemotherapy treatment. As the Princess of Wales has said, cancer cells were found in tissue samples taken at her abdominal surgery in January. It was not just a little operation but one that required her to be in hospital for...

    Watt a relief! Queenslanders spark up with $1,000 electricity credit

    Well we won’t bother looking in SA. We have the most expensive power despite the highest take up of rooftop solar. We also have no coal fired power stations now and rely on gas for grid stability as well as some from Victoria as outrageous prices. Isn’t it amazing that the highest prices are...

    Report reveals new details about Princess of Wales—will she be back anytime soon?

    It’s time people understand that a standard course of chemotherapy lasts 6 months and in some cases longer. The Princess needs to stay away from the public during this time as her immune system will be suppressed and she is at risk of contracting a disease that might be fine in a fit person but...

    Norwegian expat delivers cold reality check: ‘Australian winters are the worst’

    We have had a short and mild summer this year with autumn seemingly coming early. But cold? No. People seem to forget that our homes are built for letting heat out in our frequently extremely hot summers. Many people do not bother to insulate the outer walls of their new homes as they don’t...

    Juicy revelation: Woman swears by exclusive orange juice diet, but experts raise concerns

    I’m not surprised she felt “good” on such a dangerous diet. Oranges are a great source of some things such as vitamin C but the main content is fructose or simply put a version of sugar. She would have been as high as an over stimulated kid after a nonstop birthday party. Bound to make you feel...

    Study finds plant-based meat products show no ‘clear benefit’ for heart health

    Plant based diets simply do not contain all the things we people who evolved from meat eating carnivores need. Especially things such as adequate iron and vitamin B12. Vegans will tell you otherwise but studies show that the amount of some vegetables you would need to eat to get enough is...

    Manhunt underway for suspect of another stabbing incident at a shopping centre

    It’s time these young people were tried in adult courts and jailed for murder and manslaughter with life sentences and no parole. They assume that they can take lives of often innocent people and get a slap on the hand. No more! Strong sentences must be sufficient to stop them. Only these...

    Tense scenes erupt as bishop and churchgoers allegedly stabbed during church service

    I’m not surprised that the people want blood of these assailants. There are far too many incidents like this happening in Australia now and the average person has had enough! The fact that they were very angry is not surprising and it might have been better if he had also received the same...

    An anonymous coder nearly hacked a big chunk of the internet. How worried should we be?

    It is way past time that mental health issues were no longer used as an excuse for anything. Far too many people are getting off from gaol because they claim a mental health issue even if they have never seen a psychiatrist or taken appropriate medication. These people who could not control...

    ‘Recidivist sex offender’ set for release this year

    It is totally unacceptable that a psychopath with his history of reoffending and no obvious idea that what he does is wrong should be allowed out in to our community. With the amount of domestic violence nowadays and the number of rapes and assaults that are happening, these people belong in...

    Can Centrelink payment hikes boost music festival participation?

    There is absolutely no way that students and the unemployed should get more money from Centrelink! When we were young we coped with what we could earn in the long holiday beak at university or we had a part-time job to fund extras such as going out to festivals or any other activity. The rest of...

    Breaking tradition: Discover the heartfelt note Kate Middleton penned to royal fans

    I am fed up with people who seem to think that they have a right to know every detail of HRH’s illness and treatment even though they wouldn’t understand most of the medical details. It’s private. It’s her personal health and she has shared more than any other royal due to the pressure that...
