Having multiple friends in the USA who have just had many of the financial and medical supports for those who need it cancelled outright, I have a different view to most comments here. Yes, people will always want more from this government but where is the gratitude for the increases that are...

I, like you, noted the use of the term "gas" and it is definitely an American term for petrol or fuel. I do not believe it was used in this context for people who drive gas powered vehicles.

In an age where cost of living is deemed to be out of control this is one of thousands of non essential products on the market that consumers MUST have, really? Buy a can of waterproof spray and if that doesn't complete the drying process by sitting the boots in front of the heater.

I am sorry to hear about your brother's multiple cancers. It is very hard going having a family member with this curse of a disease. My youngest brother (1of 4) has cancer throughout his body via all of his lymph glands, and has had tumours taken out of his brain. Like your brother, there is...

FACT:According to the OECD, Australia's tax-to-GDP ratio in 2022 ranked 29th out of 38 countries, indicating it's not a high-tax country. Australia's tax revenue is lower than the OECD average, and some tax components, like the GST, have even seen a decrease in revenue generation,

Harry refuses to respect the privacy of his father, the King, and has no right commenting publicly on his health. Harry also refuses to stay within the boundaries that come with being a member of the royal family, yet still expects the institution to pay a huge bill for his security. He is no...

Aldi stores are not as large as the other chains, and they carry a limited range of products. It would mean more losses on their weekly special lines if they carried too much of each item. Yes, they may sell a few more of an item but this would be offset by losses of the remaining units...

I have always used rainchecks for items that I want to buy in multiple units. Coles reinstated theirs a long time ago. Woolworths dragged its feet, to their loss, as far as my buying from them was concerned. I am a savvy shopper, having spent much of my working life in purchasing roles.

My partner and I are pensioners, are not rich or own a McMansion but we just put paid to have a 5KW solar system installed that cost us $6,000 AFTER the rebate. We have never had a lot of money but what we have almost exclusively we worked and saved for. So, I must say the idea that we are...

I was told once by a butcher that the colour changes due to it having no preservative in it.

I can tell you for nothing that I WON'T be voting for nuclear power. I suspect Dutton will leave that alone in his election campaign as it isn't popular. Then he will do it if he is elected. I have never seen so much work being done on infrastructure in Victoria, especially in the West, as...

Do you seriously think the LNP will give you any more?

I listened to an explanation from a financially qualified person recently, as to why productivity impacts prices. It would seem that it is rising wages. This increases the cost of doing business as expenses, of which staffing costs is probably number one, means that the overall productivity...

Tell all of the residents in northern Queensland that climate change is BS and you might just get flattened.

I find the public's support for the Royal family to be a two edged sword, in this case, they seem unforgiving of the Princess appearing to inadvertently mis-step in relation to the bag. I suspect carrying it may well be due to the latter comments in the article about the Chanel brand now being...

No doubt Athena's middle name, Rose, is a nod to the late Queen's sister who was called Margaret Rose.

My partner and I regularly go out on Sundays and buy a coffee but we don't buy from those with surcharges. You can usually find one that doesn't add a surcharge and if that fails I just don't buy one. It is a small treat but one that is getting increasingly beyond reach.

The first serious step towards ultimate control of people and their finances.

When I was growing up I never heard the F word, let alone the C one, from any of my uncles or other men in my family. Morality and high standards in society have slipped to the point where almost anything goes. The fact that it is now being permitted on TV or other media simply confirms it.

What utter rubbish. There is plenty of gas for Australians. What needs to happen is that the gas requirements of Aussies should be filled FIRST, then export the rest to overseas markets. Do they really believe we are stupid and cant see through their spin.
