    Shoppers wonder why ALDI refuses to take a bite of the Apple Isle

    As a Tasmanian who previously lived in Brisbane and enjoyed the benefits of shopping at Aldi, I think a major point is missing from the argument regarding distance to Tasmania, shipping difficulties etc. Tasmania is only a few hundred kilometres from Melbourne, while Western Australia is more...

    ‘Selfish’ parents criticised for child’s cheeky in-flight act

    Dare I ask what religion are they? I understand a certain cult does not believe in such regulations, as they are an impediment to their business. Australia does have a strict "Use By" and "Best Buy" that are important to good health, while many countries do not.

    The transformation of Brisbane's 'Uptown' shopping centre–what happened after Myer's exit?

    Joke High Blood Pressure

    I always consider an appointment time to be an approximation, having been in the situation that my Doctor quickly realised my need as being an emergency and immediately concentrated on me as a patient who was in need there and then. I will be forever grateful that he attended to me as he did...
