    Veteran’s chilling prediction about Australia just came true—here’s why he’s furious

    Do these idiots not realise that they wouldn't have the freedom to make these dumb choices were it not for our armed forces?

    'Beyond disgraceful': Controversial shop display sparks fierce debates about symbolism

    Still looking for evidence that any of 'these 4 people were behaving like nazi's'. The 'artist' hasn't given any evidence to support his disgusting display, and neither have those defending him in this group.

    'Beyond disgraceful': Controversial shop display sparks fierce debates about symbolism

    I don't care who makes statements, draws cartoons or anything else to lampoon public figures. I have got a giggle myself from cartoons, especially those done by the brilliant Bill Leak, whose son Johannes has taken up where his father left off. Bill died from a heart attack, after a pile on from...

    'Beyond disgraceful': Controversial shop display sparks fierce debates about symbolism

    Again, can you give me a concrete fact that proves Nazi like behaviour carried out by each of the four. I keep asking, and so far, I've had no takers. Anything? Anyone?

    'Beyond disgraceful': Controversial shop display sparks fierce debates about symbolism

    The difference is that the people depicted in the Australian War Memorial wearing those uniforms, were dyed in the wool, card carrying, fully paid up members of the Nazi Party. As far as I'm aware, the four depicted on the poster, are not, and if they were, they wouldn't be dressed in the...

    'Beyond disgraceful': Controversial shop display sparks fierce debates about symbolism

    Many on this site make emphatic claims about people they disagree with politically, as is their right. However, their comments are rarely backed up with evidence. Could you please supply evidence to substantiate your claim? What concrete examples of Nazism in the actions of these four can you...

    Aussie comic makes 'vile' joke at first gig, gets cancelled instantly

    I read about this jerk elsewhere and I couldn't believe he'd be stupid enough to think DV is comedy material. As a survivor, I wish dicks like this could be made to experience the feeling of being physically attacked by someone a foot taller and four stone heavier than they are. The constant...

    'I don't want to move back home to take care of my grandmother... am I being unreasonable?'

    Absolutely not! Taking care of the elderly is bloody hard, and it sounds as though your grandparents and other family members are entitled and demanding. If those living in the same town as the grandparents can't be bothered caring for them, don't let them manipulate you into uprooting your...

    The worst hoarder homes in Australia: Would you dare buy one?

    So many great friendships come to an end because one party gets greedy. It's sad, but I would have done what you did.

    The worst hoarder homes in Australia: Would you dare buy one?

    In 2012, hubby and I bought a horror house. It had been lived in by a mentally disabled man and his mentally disabled daughter. He'd inherited the house when his parents died some years earlier. He'd borrowed money against the house and never paid it back, so the financial institution had sent...

    General Discussion Thread 20.03.2025

    My most recent bizarre dream involved me in a muddy field staying in one of several very basic wooden huts with thatched roofs. I had an open air kitchen in the middle of the mud and I was giving cooking lessons. I only had three students, but one was Gordon Ramsay! What makes this so bizarre...

    Residents demand immediate action as retirement dream turns into nightmare

    I do realise my comment will be unpopular, but I feel I need to express my opinion on retirement villages. My husband and I moved into an Oak Tree Retirement Village in the Lake Macquarie area of NSW in September 2019. It was a brand new village at that time and we were among the first...

    Mysterious contamination panic threatens city safety in devastating event

    I'm a Novacastrian which is where this event occurred. I'm ashamed to say I live in the same city as the vermin who did this! Many's the morning in summer I've been woken at the crack of dawn by flocks of corellas flying over and perching in the surrounding trees to have a conversation. & I...

    Is it unreasonable to exclude one friend from my party?

    I live in a retirement village and our very well equipped community centre is often used by residents for family get togethers. Since the earliest days - the village is almost six years old and we've lived here since four months after it opened - most residents will leave leftovers such as...

    Extreme weather strikes again! How dairy farmers are struggling to stay afloat

    I lived in Dorrigo during the 60s, and the town was regularly cut off from the rest of the world. The bridge at Thora, at the foot of the mountain, was underwater every time we got more than about five inches of rain. There's a new bridge now. If it wasn't the bridge going under, it was the...

    Digitally altered media fuels growing fears of widespread misinformation

    Several months ago, I got an ad on one of the sites I subscribe to. I saw Paul Murray interviewing Mark Latham on Sky. The subject of the discussion was a wonderful investment opportunity Mark Latham was offering. Common sense tells you that Paul Murray wouldn't devote an entire section of his...
