Australia

i haven’t had oporto in like ten years but on the public holiday we went to the local one and ordered just a salad and a burger meal it was 32 or 33 dollars on the menu when added together, i pull up to the window and am told it’s 49 dollars because it’s a public holiday.

i said “im alright thanks” and drove off - is it normal for them to charge 50% for a public holiday ? i mean i understand when companies charge 10-15% but 50%? is this the norm with this company?

A mother and her 10-year-old son have been stabbed in Wollongong.

An older woman known to the young family allegedly got out of the other vehicle and approached the family’s car, before an altercation began, police said.

She was refused bail to appear at Wollongong Local Court on Thursday.

Investigations are ongoing and anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.

"...

Residents of NSW, the country’s most-populous state, face power price rises of between 7.8 percent and 8.9 percent, costing an extra $159 to $249 annually for households with average energy consumption.

Households in south-east Queensland will pay an extra 2.5 percent to 5.8 percent, or $61 to $119 on average. In South Australia, prices will rise by 4.4 percent to 5.2 percent, or around $120 per year.

Energy costs are also set to rise in other parts of the country, where the DMO does not apply, but maximum price increases are set by state and territory authorities.

In the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), household bills will rise by an average of 10.11 percent, or $214 per year. In the rest of Queensland, electricity prices will increase by 3.2 percent, $73 on average.

Just got an email advising that the family price is going up again to $39.99 a month. I've just cancelled as we cant justify the cost now. This is getting out of control.

I live in Queensland. I just made an appointment because I have some symptoms so my GP gave me a referral.

I will have to shell out 600 dollars for this scan.

A scan to see IF I HAVE BREAST CANCER.

I can pay this. But WHAT IF I COULDN’T?

What if I were a single mum who had to decide on scanning for CANCER or paying the rent for me and my kids?!

Where is the national f**king outrage over this?!
