Three comments… first, the article is focused on maximum limits, which only use to apply in country driving, now with inner city expressways it is probably prudent to reduce maximum speeds but only on those roads. Second… there have been so many changes to roads and speed limits that too many...

I’m from SA and some of the new bags and containers feel different, but they do the job so there is little to grumble about. It also means that more containers can be placed into the green/ compost bin instead of general waste bins. Too many people don’t realise that takeaway containers can be...

As much as I agree with the frustrated driver, I also understand the lady’s actions. Sometimes going round and round only to have a spot open just as you drive past but can’t actually back up as the person behind you has already taken up the advantage. That said, it is nothing new. I remember...

That's not true. The big supermarkets have their own brand copies which are more likely to be competition for the original products. But, Aldi, just imports or uses brands that were not commonly known here. And, again, they just sell the product. who knows how and when the contents were...

Not necessarily "how she treats people" but it certainly confirms that the Centrelink system is broken and people struggle with the service. Not everyone has the patience to even sit through the lengthy waits.

In no way is that behaviour acceptable. But I can think of one Op-shop centre near me that has multiple stores in the complex with No toilet facility. If someone asks, they are directed to the coffee shop (if it's open) or advised to cross the busy main road to the shopping centre. I understand...

It was said, "If our phone lines are congested, people may receive a message explaining our staff are busy. People experiencing vulnerability are prioritised in this case.’... BUT, how do they know who is vulnerable, and how do they prioritise, when the calls ar NOT being answered and these...

I don't how people cope using Centrelink. I rang "to make an appointment" and finally after getting into the phone queue, I got an automated voice telling me that the wait would be at least 75 minutes. So I hung up and went to the Services Centre. A polite lady asked if I had an appointment, as...

Barefoot was always frowned upon. It was always a 'Health & Safety' risk. Even though Aussie's are very casual it's only in the last 10+ years that venues have stopped putting up signs and insisting customers wear 'appropriate 'clothing. But when I look at some of those feet I feel like...

The Police do not usually issue Parking Fines, they are Council Fines. And there are many reasons for such fines, including obstructing council workers or damaging access to verges, kerbs. There are other 'sneaky' fines such as parking in your driveway, but across the footpath, or parking on...

Lead was used in many everyday applications until it was found to be poisonous. That's why 'lead' in pencils got swapped out to graphite, but also because people would lick the lead to get it to write and inadvertently poison themselves if it had the lead in it. But anyone restoring homes or...

Sad news, but I dont really remember her on M.A.S.H

I feel that regulations and standards need to be checked before any property is available for rental; both in government and private places. And some minimum requirements would be roof insulation, solar panels, and window heat block out (preferably with outdoor security roller blinds). And no...

Sadly, he is not likely to pay attention to the court order. I expect he will be behind the wheel whenever it suits him, and even causing damage or injury to other people will not be something he will think about while still using any drugs.

I think you will find that the law is keeping up, but getting changes to the Law is not a quick process. Anyway, the use of 'hands-free' phones is legal; it is the distraction of physically using a phone that is the problem. It is also an offence to have your passenger hold the phone while you...

Having any part of your body out of the vehicle is an offence. so, if you lean out of the window, or put your arm out to wave that's where it becomes an offence... why? because there is a potential for injury, and it also implies that both hands are not available for full control of the vehicle...

Oh please...how many parents are 'comfortable' discussing any aspects of growth, puberty, sex, relationships, etc???

Parents have the right to withdraw children from aspects that go against their cultural or religious beliefs. BUT, the parent then has the obligation to provide the education in a manner that is appropriate.

STOP your ranting and look at the facts ! it was a simple cartoon video that suggested changes the body experiences in Puberty. This has nothing to do grooming or predatory behaviours. In fact, if a child is informed, they understand what feels normal and what feels wrong. And, the decisions...

I watched the video, and I can see that it was probably chosen for its simplistic cartoon-style. It is Not a "graphic" video. Having said that, I would not use this particular video until at least year 6 and probably in year 7. The content is worrying for parents as they have their own views on...
