(Preview)

Supermarkets profiteering?
(Preview)

Why Putin has done this is beyond me! Sanctions will cause great damage to the Russian economy, the people will be very hard hit by them, the invasion will not be popular in Russia, Russia will become an outcast from global society for decades and will never again be trusted, keeping control of Ukrain...

Well done, why pay $200,000+?

Scam SMS insurance claim link

I received an SMS from a major insurance company to claim online due to the recent weather. It is a scam. If you need to claim contact your insurance company by other means, do NOT do so by any link under any circumstances. It is a scam.

Subject: An Aussie EV WorldTheres some serious questions concerning EV if they were to make up a majority of cars on Australian roads. According to Sco Mo, by 2030 EVs will account for 50% of all vehicle sales. Sounds popular if you dont consider the consequences. Just imagine if EVs were 50% today and...
