    Bank lends $13k to gambler—was the bank reckless or the borrower irresponsible?

    I love almost all the comments above. The banks are damned if they do and damned if they don't lend the money. I absolutely hate our society these days and am glad that I lived most of my life through 'the good times' when people were held accountable for their actions, criminals were sent to...

    Landlords say pets destroy homes—tenants say they’re family. Who’s right?

    My husband and I had two rental properties and we were lucky in one of them where we had a lady who was a great tenant and always paid her rent on time and kept the house immaculate. She was our tenant for 6 years and we never raised the rent, even though the Property Manager kept telling us...

    This common store display nearly blinded a toddler—and could put grandkids at risk

    I am sorry but I do not believe that the child was walking right next to her mother as stated by the mother. When I see children in the stores (particularly young children like 2-3 year olds) they are running around the store and the mothers aren't always watching them because they are looking...

    This Australian mother is trapped in Peru—Could your help save her life?

    I did look at the GoFund created by this lady's family. I was amazed and appalled to see that they have actually lied in it, or at least have attempted to mislead people, by saying that "In June 2025, our vibrant mum’s life changed overnight. One moment, she was laughing and travelling. The...

    Rising Medical Bills, Elusive Support: When Healthcare Costs and Disability Support Collide in Australia

    There are many problems associated with this. The people who genuinely need the DSP aren't getting it because there are many people out there who are exaggerating their symptoms or completely lying in regard to their symptoms to convince a doctor that they should be on DSP. Then there are those...

    Ambulance union raises response time concerns after man's death at Sellicks Hill

    The main problem is immigration and the Government letting everyone into Australia in mass numbers from everywhere (India in particular). This is clogging up our Health system, the roads, infrastructure, housing, rentals, etc, etc. Immigration should either be capped more or stopped completely...

    Coles shopper confronts stranger over shocking aisle incident

    I don't understand why people feel threatened by this. If you are honest and not stealing and don't intend to steal anything why does it concern people so much!! This is done to save all of us money so stop whingeing about it.

    ‘The whole thing started because of a meal choice they didn’t get’: Passenger causes chaos mid-flight

    What the hell! You're trying to justify what this person did because they didn't get their food choice. Absolutely ridiculous comment.

    Flight Nightmare: These Virgin Australia Passengers Missed Their Dream Cruise to New Zealand!

    I agree. My husband and I always travel the day before and get a cheap motel/hotel room for the night before our cruise or connecting flight. We have never had a problem by doing it this way and we feel much more comfortable knowing that if our flight is delayed the day before it won't be a...

    I have a great solution for people on Jobseeker who are complaining about the payment not being enough to survive on - GET A BLOODY JOB.

    'Give the man a break': Man's candid revelation sparks discussions among Aussie workforce

    I was going to reply to agreeing to what the man said as he was completely spot-on about the young people. Your reply is brilliant and sums it all up. That is how we lived and we went without everything with no child support, superannuation, unemployment, etc. These days the young ones want...

    Unruly traveller sparks major flight delay after heated seatbelt standoff

    That is very offensive. Men behave just as badly. You must be a misogynist obviously. I feel sorry for your wife/partner if you have one.

    New cameras catch thousands and issue $1.7 million driving fines in one week

    The difference is that while you are holding your phone talking to someone you can still watch the road and have a hand on the steering wheel. Texting is a completely different matter because you have to be able to hold the phone and press each key individually whilst texting and looking...

    New cameras catch thousands and issue $1.7 million driving fines in one week

    I agree completely with this. I live in the country and drive through treacherous hills every day to get into the city. There was an occasion where a young girl was obviously texting on her phone and came completely on my side of the road and we were about to have a head-on collision. I was...
