    'Sooky' parking note sets off chaos among drivers: 'Not my fault you can't drive'

    As a resident living very close to the local primary school I 100% sympathise with this person. Every afternoon we suffer the same problem with parents parking way too close to (or even across) our driveway. I run my own lawn mowing business and normally get home between 2:30 and 3:00pm, so...

    Foliage fiasco: Retiree roots for justice against council's hefty fine!

    What a joke! The council expect us to mow and tend to the council owned nature strip outside our houses (for free). In our street (in the Penrith Council area of NSW) we don’t even get a weekly street sweeper truck, we have to maintain that ourselves too, (again, for free)! I say it’s about time...

    Homeowners often feel better about life than renters, but not always – whether you are mortgaged matters

    Well, of course paying off a home is just as difficult as paying rent, however when your mortgage is paid off you own it and no longer need to come up with the money, especially in retirement. What do renters do when they retire? Still pay rent?? With what??? Their pension or superannuation...

    ‘Brekkie’ prompts American podcasters’ apology to ‘all of Australia’ after backlash

    And I’ve had it with foreigners objecting to the way we speak. Each country has its own lingo and slang. If you don’t like ours, then “PEA ONE DOLLAR-SIGN DOLLAR-SIGN OFF” 🖕🏼

    Controversial driving move by ute driver divides opinion

I also agree that narrow roads that do not have a designated cyclist or breakdown lane should not be allowed for use by cyclists (as a matter of...

    Tricky driver’s licence question confuses test-taker: ‘So what did I do wrong here?’

    My son was once booked for doing 60km/h in a 60/km zone. The officers excuse was that you must drive “under” the speed limit. My son appealed the fine and won. The court magistrate ordering that the officer concerned to be retrained.

    Fury ensues as Optus outage shines light on the risks of a cashless society

    OMG! Yet another thing in this crazy mixed up world to worry about. As if having to tread carefully in this world for fear of being scammed online, now the government (in their stupidity) decide that it is a great idea to go cashless and force everyone to partake in an extremely risky method of...

    This common Australian habit often grosses out tourists

    As the old saying goes: “When in Rome do as the Roman’s do.” In Australia it is common place to go barefoot where or whenever you please. If that is not the done thing in your country, then good for you. To be blunt: I’m sick and tired of foreigners coming to this country whinging about what we...

    What's your best advice on love?

    Oh Sethia! You poor thing. There is no greater pain than one of a broken heart. I have a few sayings that help me through these hard times. 1) What’s before you won’t go past you. 2) There’s a lot to think about but nothing to worry about. 3) I can’t change the past or the future. I can only...
