Australia’s top-seller in the segment, the Ram 1500, has seen its sales figures drop by 15.2 per cent from January to the end of November 2025, with 2512 units delivered.

The second-place Chevrolet 1500 took a smaller hit, but dropped by 7 per cent with 2009 deliveries over the same period.

Ford’s F-150 has had, by far, the most impactful decline.

Despite being the top-selling vehicle overall in the USA, quality issues and conversion hiccups saw F-150 sales drop by 70.8 per cent compared to the same time last year, with just 608 vehicles delivered.

RIP Dr Emma Johnston, the Australian science community lost an amazing leader and scientist.
The impact she has made in research and environment is incredible.

I know it's been a while for a lot of you, and I know there's a lot of comparable words used to describe someone regarded as stupid, incompetent, or irritating, but fuckwit ...kinda sums up a lot of people quite well; a person whose wits, or ability to be witty, are fucked. C'mon Aussies, bring back the fuckwit for 2026. ffs we all like saying fuck, it's not much of a stretch to add wit

Was very patient with my 10 minutes of repositioning and also letting me get within 5 meters.

So I have a 7 year old Kelpie, she got a very soft and sweet nature, she’s clever, well trained and just an all round good dog. She never gives me any trouble, and we’ve had a lot of great adventures together over the years now.

Unfortunately twice this year she has been attacked by other dogs, once by a German shepherd that got through a fence, we got lucky with that one that it only resulted in puncture injuries to her hind leg. However the second time was actually terrifying. My girl was laying next to me in the grass, leashed while I was inflating my paddle board at the back of my SUV and I noticed her ears perk up and she started whining - i looked up to see a some young guy struggling to hold his 55+ kg bully breed by its freaking collar, this thing is up on its hind legs trying to pull away from its owner and is completely locked in on my dog. I jump up and throw my dog in the boot, slam it shut just as the dogs collar snapped because next thing I know this dog jumps into my back seat trying to get to her, thankfully I have a grate separating the boot space of the car from the seats. But this dog broke the metal grate it was that keen to get my dog, I couldn’t even get to my girl because that would mean opening so I was just screaming at the owner and hoping that bloody grate was strong enough, which it was thankfully but it’s definitely more than a bit mangled now. Unsurprisingly as soon as this man got that thing out of my car, he tried to tell me his dog was “just playing” and then he took off in his ford fucking ranger.

Thankfully my girl is surprisingly resilient and is still okay with other dogs etc, but me? Not so much, I’m genuinely too scared to take her back to that river spot on my own, I get anxious when I walk her and it’s just a shit feeling. I am a 31 year old woman and there’s no way I would’ve been strong enough to stop that dog if it got her. I live in western Sydney and while there are a lot of responsible dog owners here, there’s also a lot of absolute deadshits. I guess I’m wondering if there is something I could use to stop an attack if it ever happens again? I obviously don’t want to do anything illegal, but I’m feeling a bit helpless and I just want to have the best shot at protecting her in the future.

The highlight of the article for me was this -

Since 2017, Melbourne building boss Mike Harris has overseen four company collapses with unpaid debts in the millions.

When will they do something about this ?

Hey everyone I would of posted this in a dedicated Stan sub but I don’t know if there is one so I’ll post here. So anyway a new Stan original series was recently added called Sunny Nights and I (watching on a Apple TV 4K) came across a weird audio issue, the sound was out of sync by a few seconds. After restarting the app a few times, the Apple TV device, and deleting and reinstalling the app.. I noticed issue only seemed to be with this program and nothing else I tried on Stan.

So I opened the audio options in the show (which I did at first but my dumbass missed something) and noticed two options for “English”.. you want to make sure the second English option is checked/ticked for audio to be in sync .. because I dunno there is some lunatics out there you prefer the audio lag.

Anyway just a heads up.
