    Your Say Sunday: Legalising Voluntary Assisted Dying

    To some extent I agree with Suzanne Rose. Also being a Christian, I firmly believe that, as God is the Giver of Life, then He also is the only One who can take it away, in His own good time, and according to His will. ‘Thou shalt not kill’ is one of the Ten Commandments that we have been given...

    A must-see Aussie sight!

    A must-see Aussie sight! Image Credit: Supplied Make sure, if you’re planning a road trip through Western Australia, that you include Wave Rock, Hyden in your sightseeing itinerary. You will not be disappointed. Unfortunately, when I visited in July last year, it was quite overcast, so the...

    What a great idea! In my case, I’d be over the moon if I could engage a willing gardener to attend to my hopelessly-out-of-shape little garden please. I’ve spent the last couple of months in hospital, and I can’t afford a gardener. A little bit of landscaping within the same garden would be...

    Can you spot why this Woolworths shopper was fuming?

    Unfortunately there are way too many examples of this kind of behaviour. It is downright lazy and disrespectful. We foster a ‘I don’t really care’ attitude in Australia, and it’s a shame to see more and more of us behaving like this. Being disabled myself, I agree that allowance should be...

    Tips for Aussie Drivers: Why Reverse Parking is the Smarter Choice

    For the most part I support reversing into a parking spot, including kerb-side parking. It’s the way I was taught to drive. Further, I would add that I believe that motorists also should reverse into their driveways (especially on busy highways) when clear to do so. Otherwise they face the very...

    Your Say Sunday Poll: Who do you think should pay for the first date?

    In days gone by, when chivalry was valued, the man would always foot the bill, and do so with a smile on his face! I’m in favour of that habit continuing. There seems to be some thought in relation to the new buzzword ‘equality’ that the bill should be shared between both diners. When I plan a...

    And that's when the fight started

    Good to see a joke, finally, that is actually FUNNY!!! Either my sense of humour may have decreased over the later years, or some of the ‘jokes’ revealed here are not really funny at all. It’s a pity to see good content not included as much.

    Joke The Expensive Gift

    Unfortunately correct English spelling and punctuation are both sadly lacking these days. It seems as though text messaging is the root cause, but I also believe that that side of ‘English’ expression in education is sadly lacking. Even contributions to the SDC newsletter, including ‘viewers’...

    Random act of kindness at ALDI divides the internet

    Clearly it ‘is more blessed to give than receive’. The very act of kindness created a euphoric feeling, and who doesn’t need that? I applaud the kindness of that person paying, noting they have no way of knowing my financial situation. Simply say Thank you very much, and consider paying it...

    62-year-old dons bikini to hit back at ‘ageism’: ‘I look better at 62 than I did at 30!’

    Yes, I agree to a large extent. We are much too focused on a person’s age, and the media is not helping! How many times have we been subjected to a story such as, ‘a 52 year old man from Bankstown collided with a 23 year old from Revesby . . . ‘ Who really cares how old the two are??? I believe...

    Livid residents slam council's rubbish bin changes: 'It's ridiculous'

    As to the number of bins each household requires, surely there should be the option available to them to either accept or decline extra (eg purple) bins if they do not feel that they could justify having one. So if you don’t have room for another bin or would not use it, simply decline the...

    Woman uses bizarre argument to fight texting while driving fine - Here’s what happened

    Although modern technology has been installed to catch offenders, there is still the element of doubt, and these ‘unusual’ events need to be subject to review. I’m not suggesting that she did nothing wrong, but it is pleasing to note when there is some leniency. In days gone by, the law would...

    Your Say Sunday Poll: Do you think it's okay to smack children/grandchildren?

    @ Suzanne Rose: punishment is NOT abuse! In fact, letting kids run riot IS however abuse. Clearly unpunished kids grow up not knowing boundaries, nor having a clear structure in knowing RIGHT from WRONG. Ever heard the expression: ‘spare the rod, spoil the child’? I’m not advocating beating kids...

    Your Say Sunday Poll: Do you think it's okay to smack children/grandchildren?

    It is a DETERRENT that will make criminals think twice. The same begins in the home with parents and children. If the kids know that a ‘severe’ punishment awaits them if they break the ‘rules’., they will tend to think twice. Disciplining children when required (within certain boundaries) is NOT...
