    Shocking discovery: Find out what a popular Chinese restaurant was actually serving instead of roast duck!

    It’s got nothing to do with us in Australia but IT IS AN ITEM OF NEWS and also reminds us that anywhere in the world - and even in Australia - these things happen. News is part of what SDC gives us daily. If you don’t want to read what is going on around the world then close your eyes and don’t...

    More scam emails

    Not expecting a msg, not waiting on government money, haven’t bought anything & waiting on delivery - then delete. These scammers use all sorts of ways to scam and they will do it not just to one person but to multiple people to see which person will ‘fall for it’. That’s how they work so just...

    'This is exactly why I am exposing them': Former officer blows whistle over 'twisted game' by the police

    Have you considered that these two women’s names on this site may have been obtained from an already exposed media article? SDC don’t concoct names and information, they get their information from the media and report it to us here. The investigation might be an ‘internal investigation’ as...

    Super for Housing: Smart Investment or Political Scare Tactic?— by Noel Whittaker

    Might make some sense but the government has to come on board first for it to take effect. Thank goodness we don’t owe anyone a cent on anything. We’ve been careful all our lives and can reap the rewards now, even helping our children out with small amounts when they need it. I hope those in...

    Couple's outrageous behaviour stuns restaurant-goers at Italian eatery

    Absolutely right in your comment. Some people have thick hides - thicker than an elephant or rhinoceros! Put their photos up in the shop window to name & shame and for all, including other cafes/restaurants, to ban them.

    'This is exactly why I am exposing them': Former officer blows whistle over 'twisted game' by the police

    At least one of the persons who reported this is no longer working as a police officer, as I read it. I don’t believe she actually named those she’s said are guilty of the act/s. She just said they were male police officers laughing, joking, photographing women’s private parts. Now, as a...

    'This is exactly why I am exposing them': Former officer blows whistle over 'twisted game' by the police

    Suspend immediately WITHOUT PAY. If allegations are proven to be false then, and only then, could they be reinstated and reimbursed lost pay during suspension. This is vulgarity and mistrust of police at its highest level in a group we are meant to hold trustworthy, working for us and not...

    Member Spotlight: 'My "Wake" while I am still awake' by Member @EILEEN W

    Great idea, and you obviously had a fantastic time ‘re-meeting’ old friends. Keep well and enjoy your life.

    Easter treats up by 28 per cent–but here’s how to save without sacrificing fun!

    I agree fully that priorities are need with spending - essentials first and just a couple of smaller treats for the very young (size won’t be such a drama with littlies) & an explanation to the older ones as to why their treats are smaller this year. Pampering leads to tantrums and bad behaviour...

    My trusty alarm is my husband!! Since leaving his job of 40+ years as a marine engineer away at sea so much, he has been my ‘alarm clock’ that comes to my bedside with a lovely cup of hot coffee every day.
