    One family’s ‘absolutely disgraceful’ discovery at their Airbnb ruined their whole holiday!

    I've stopped using them. Concerned that the owner's insurance would cover any accident if the place is rented for a profit (not just as a private residence)

    Meghan Markle reveals SHOCKING reason behind game show exit years ago

    No doubt she auditioned for the show fully knowing what was expected and accepted the cash willingly. No doubt she knew the royal expectations and accepted the applause (& Harry) willingly. She's lost her bloom now she's older, more of a star feature, accepted the new bloodline and is with us...

    Wearing Shoes In The House Is Just Plain Gross. The Verdict From Scientists Who Study Indoor Contaminants

    This item does not cover the risks, identical risks, from sweaty bare feet, contaminated fibres and dust when just socks are worn, or the Q 's posed with visitors using your-supplied slippers in your home for other visitors (then left to 'stew' until offered to later visitors). My view is that...

    Will paper receipts soon be a thing of the past? Kmart is going (mostly) digital using new 'smart' Aussie technology

    Bad idea = receipts are only too long because of all the advertising, self promotion & rubbish printed on them. A receipt is a legal requirement - most places ask 'do you want a receipt' so you can always opt out. They are on-spot proof you didn't steal the product. I won't allow any bank app...

    Drivers left in the dark: Medical review licence suspension process slammed

    On such important issues as this, bearing in mind the serious impacts that can arise particularly for those living alone, Vic Roads (now to be a private enterprise) should be required to use at a minimum, tracking or registered post, then 30 days before any cancellation and for those...

    Aussies in share houses resort to extreme budgeting measures just to make ends meet

    So true. Telecommunications, new phones, Foxtel, grog & smokes - are these essential? walk instead of just 'hopping in the car', is 2nd car really needed?, veggie garden worth considering for green veggies?

    Aussies in share houses resort to extreme budgeting measures just to make ends meet

    Sorry. but much of this need for pretty basic budgeting was traditionally the role of parents to teach their kids how to make ends meet. So, often having been proflegate with their money, they expect government help and handouts. They wanted or got whatever they wanted that 'spoiled' them...

    ABC announces slate of programming for 2023, including Leigh Sales’ return

    So it was a 'con'. Sales never really left the ABC, just taking Long Service Leave. She never impressed me, so often rude in her interviews, interrupting, and always pushing her left wing bias. So over-rated the ABC should have chosen better for a Caroline Jones successor.

    Is your retirement at risk? Pensions take a turn in Australia

    Just about all the press is on how tough it is for Government pensioners - BUT, they at least get a Pension for nothing, with automatic rises, whereas Self Funded's get nothing other than what they can earn by way of interest and dividends all of which is subject to Deeming! Having little help...

    This new restaurant 'trend' is driving diners crazy - do you think we should stop this?

    If it's not been clearly shown up front, before ordering, refuse to pay! Ask them to call the police and make them wait it out! It's 'extortion' if not prior advertised, and think about it: what is the justification for a %. Logically it should be a fixed charge not a % Unless this is...

    Shopper shares why she refuses to visit Kmart ever again

    I've always found the staff member at the entrance is helpful on the way IN to quickly go to the product I require. I agree - check out process should be at the exit, not in heart of the store. These feedbacks above should be invaluable for K Mart management - I hope they take these comments...

    The cat’s out of the bag! The Public Servants on twice the Prime Minister’s salary

    These salaries are way over the top. Public staff are no longer Public Servants with the 'extra' benefits well above and beyond the salary paid. That braodband head spot salary cannot be justified at 2.5 million, Australia post complains about losses for domestic mail. Grrrr, so out of control

    Suburb residents may face up to $5,000 in fines for this rubbish bin 'mistake'

    Yet another disproportionate Council action to a supposed problem. A crazy fine level so I would oppose it and go all the way to Court so that the issue gets appropriate publicity. And, vote the proposing Councellor(s) out of Office next election. If rather more mean, an overnight visit to that...
