    Is Medicare on the brink of collapse? See how it can affect senior care soon

    Yes, I agree wholeheartedly with Freelancer. A vote for Dutton is a vote for USA-type health care only for the wealthy. Our medicare, if it isn't demolished by a Dutton government, should be reformed to introduce a means test, as suggested by Freelancer, where people with an income above a set...

    Is your local branch closing? Customers react to controversial bank closures

    I'm opening an account with the Great Southern Bank in Penrith where you can actually talk to a human being. Don't know how it'll turn out.

    'It doesn't work that way': This beach trend is making waves for the wrong reasons!

    Once we keep making excuses for these cabanas, etc., next thing we'll have mini-houses lining the beaches permanently as they have overseas.

    Bank of Queensland closes down several branches across Australia

    They are making more money by getting rid of staff and forciing you to go on line. On line you are more exposed to having your life saving stolen if not careful. Plus no longer any counter or easy phone service. Like everything else, it's "do it yourself" and more and more people out of jobs.

    She'd probably try to sue the airline if the plane hit bad weather and jolted, and she and baby took off without protecctiion of seatbelt.

    'It doesn't work that way': This beach trend is making waves for the wrong reasons!

    Agree with Zemo and others. Why police, parking meters? What are we allowing these so-called "experts" to set up new beach rules for us? We used to be satisfied with an umbrella taking up a small space for our families while other families did the same. Now we're giving up our little space...

    Aussie woman shares eerie encounter with scammer after losing millions of dollars

    Dreadful story. Yes, greed led her to make a huge mistake, along with many others who are travelling along the same path today. And she and hubby are paying for it big time now. Hopefully they'll at least be able to stick together.

    New aged care reforms to bring changes to seniors relying on assisted services

    Agree 100% with Daibhin regarding the huge expense our government has gone to regarding the nuclear submarines. The view of the population was never taken into consideration. Generations of Australians will continue to pay in the future and to expect less in the way of their basic needs...

    Supermarkets raise prices again for this everyday staple as cost-of-living strain hits budget meals

    We, the public, are here to make the supermarkets richer. The government and ACCC are useless, just pontificating and giving us "tips" on how to buy, knowing we have no choice. Same as the airlines, competition discouraged. And those who give us "tips" on school holidays as to where to go for...

    The Shocking Truth About the American Health System that Has Australians Gasping in Disbelief!

    I agree, we still, only just, have a good health system. But it is going down fast and we need to stop it from going down further. The nurses are paid peanuts and the government appears to want the situation to stay that way.

    Shocking Label: How 'Cookies' Sparked Outrage at a Royal Event over Anzac Biscuits!

    I too love our very unique language and think it's important to keep it as part of our Aussie being. But the TV is mainly in American so no doubt our lingo will disappear with time.

    Aussie senator's controversial post about King Charles sends shockwaves through social media

    I agree with Julie and all the others. She is in a position to express her grievances in parliament so why take the world stage?

    'Americanising' Aussie Cafes? See How One Woman Exposed the Outrageous Trend Sweeping the Nation!

    Why do we have to follow everything America says and does? Our language is turning American and no doubt our accent will too in future (sorry, going forward as we say in the US of A).

    $97K light show sparks outrage among residents over spending priorities

    Better remember to try not to spend so much on lighting up the Opera House for the sake of our first President then. And make sure he or she is not divorced.

    'Something is going very wrong': Stories from one Aussie hospital tell grim reality healthcare systems face

    Hospital system broken down, there's no disputing that or getting around it. Nepean in a shocking condition. We are becoming a third world country. The Federal government has made heaps of money. Where is it going? Not on health it would seem

    Sports broadcaster axes renowned commentator from Paris Olympics over ‘outrageous’ remark

    Does the punishment fit the crime - what crime? And no-one on the spot turned a hair or said a word on his behalf? We are getting woker and woker and allowed to be more and more judgemental in our woke world. Must be like walking on eggshells to be a man nowadays.
