    You laughed, cried, saw him break barriers—this award-winning actor (73) leaves a hole in our hearts

    Centrelink ordered to pay three million Australians after decades-long fight

    Income apportionment and "annualising" felt like a scam from the beginning. It happened to my then-wife after she began working following her studies. The thing is, up until she began her career, she was paid exactly what she was entitled to at the time. But Centrelink "annualised" her income...

    TV presenter faces court drama after scandal unfolds: 'Why, why, why?'

    The TV and radio industry is notorious for its treatment of personnel, whether or not they are "stars." But let's remember that the public plays a role by being unwitting judges of the worth and value (to the station) of socalled celebrities. Ratings can kill; and broadcasters have zero loyalty...

    Wait…are they really using AI models to sell us clothes?

    I wouldn't spend $400 on anything! We have a Cost of Living Crisis - allegedly. How is it, in the midst of this socalled Cost of Living Crisis, people are even thinking about buying pieces of fabric? Think how much food that could buy (in our "Cost of Living Crisis")!

    What Would The Grandkids Say: 'Go off'

    As with so many old phrases, this one is simply repurposed, with a slight shift. It retains the sense of passionate expression but ironically pop and nanna probably used the same phrase themselves. The difference is  focus: previously it suggested anger; now it suggests positive passion.

    Kmart’s surprise discount trick: ‘It’s always a great day when you are there'

    ‘I found a bag at Kmart for $7. A week later, I found the same bag for 50c and my mum made me buy all eight and she refunded the other bag,’ said one. That's just GREED. What will mum do with the extra seven bags? What about punters who genuinely needed a new bag? Fock dem, eh?
