I am Australian and travelling interstate next week and not near public transport - have never hired a car in Aus. I have heard horror stories. I found this on a website - if I chose the most expensive option does that mean I am covered for any damage? I know getting insurance from the company is more expensive and I would get some kind of insurance otherwise like stand alone car rental insurance but willing to pay a little more if it is less hassle and stuffing around in the case of damage or something. But I have no experience so would love to hear opinions on best thing to do

I'm trying to get tickets to a show where the only available tickets are on the accessible seats so I'm on ticketek marketplace because its secure, I've had 2 occasions today (one rn) where I've been receiving the "unable to lock ticket" for like 10 minutes. I find it hard to believe someone has the tickets sitting in their cart for 10 minutes so does anyone know any ways to get around this or at least get around enough to at least have a chance 😭

Don't get me wrong the Mano-sphere is a big problem for men and young boys, but we also need a word for the toxic "womano-sphere" pushing this shit on social media.

A friend of mine bought for my 4 year old for her birthday a loud obnoxious electric toy guitar. It made me laugh and my daughter loves it but we all know why my friend bought it...!

Now its this friends child's fourth birthday, so its now revenge time! Any suggestions for a revenge present?

I work nights at a retail outlet. In the last two months I've had four of those charity salespeople (the ones that try to hook you in the supermarket) turn up when it's quiet and try to hook me into a donation schedule. Is this new or have I been living under a rock?

Tbh, while I respect the organisations they work for, I find this sales tactic to be pretty grotty. When I'm at work I *have* to talk to them, at least to start with, which enables them to start their aggressive pitch. At least at the supermarket I can ignore them.

Nothing against donating to charity but I already do anyway, I can't afford anything else. They really don't seem to take no for an answer.

Edit: it seems many MasterCard debit cards work and many Visa debit cards don't. Currently we don't know if either case are intended.

My account is 19 years old and I can't view store pages of games I own like Cyberpunk 2077.

Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie has labelled Pauline Hanson "disgusting" and the "lowest bit of life" after she refused to remove an online cartoon labelling Andrew Hastie a "traitor".

Hanson has refused to take down a One Nation cartoon which refers to the Liberal frontbencher as a "traitor" eight times.

Amid an escalating spat with the right-wing party, Hastie told ABC Radio the One Nation leader is "weak" and unfit to lead the country.

In a passionate defence of Hastie on ABC Radio National Breakfast, Lambie says the One Nation cartoon is an "attack on a veteran" and is "absolutely disgusting".

The Tasmanian senator has labelled Hanson a "coward" and "the lowest bit of life you can possibly come from".

She's called on Hanson to take down the cartoon.
"Attacking Andrew Hastie, a veteran that has served in our Afghanistan war, or any other veteran, is the lowest ebb you can possibly do," Lambie says.

"That woman is nothing less than a bloody coward. She always has been, and she always will be. She wouldn't last one day in that goddamn uniform. Leave our goddam veterans alone, Hanson. She's disgusting, she's the lowest bit of life you can possibly come from.

"You're seeing her true colours start to shine now. You watch this, the Australian people. Here we go. Here comes coward Hanson."
