    Is YOUR retirement at risk? What wealthy Aussies are asking about Albanese's new super tax laws

    They don't actually give themselves a pay rise, I believe it is an independent body but that is besides the point because those who already earn more certainly keep getting far more yet those same people don't think pensioners who have already paud all their taxes all their lives and did not...

    You won't believe the $4 Kmart food find everyone is scrambling to buy—here's why it's flying off shelves

    That's just all we need for the obesity that is driving our health crisis.

    Retailers are folding fast—is this Aussie brand the next to go?

    The rentals of stores have gone up astronomically which is not helping either but does not give us much option for those of us who prefer to shop personally for our clothes and try them on. Very little choice these days and guess it will only get worse.

    Is YOUR retirement at risk? What wealthy Aussies are asking about Albanese's new super tax laws

    You often find that the rich and big business find loopholes to avoid paying their fair share of tax through life so for those it is about time they paid. Everyday people don't have that advantage and I don't see why the rich should either. The tax department has been going after these people...

    New permit rule targets kerbside bin habits under council crackdown

    But is it enforced. A great idea and I personally don't see how hard it is to bring your bin in promptly but there are always some who don't 🤔

    Narre Warren food bank feeding thousands faces closure over council permit decision

    Lack of common sense and humanity from those who can actually do something about these problems simply. They just make it too hard and full of red tape. If they are not prepared to do the job resign and let someone in who will.

    New permit rule targets kerbside bin habits under council crackdown

    It's not hard to bring your bin in quickly though unless you are on nightshift or something. Mine is brought in minutes after it is emptied usually unless it is pouring with rain and then I wait for a gap. I often bring in the neighbours since they work.

    New permit rule targets kerbside bin habits under council crackdown

    We still only have two bins, our council is way behind the 8 ball. Have a green bin for general and green waste and yellow for recycling. Goodness knows when they will roll out the red one, not in my time here since I am selling shortly. Might just end up with 3 bins where I am going, wow.

    Narre Warren food bank feeding thousands faces closure over council permit decision

    This js so beyond ridiculous. Councils get so up themselves instead of getting out there and helping people who are in such desperate need and money that should be used to feed people is being wasted on permits. Come on Councils get over yourselves and get into the real world and deal with real...

    Would you give a kidney to a stranger? One Aussie man quietly did

    That's an amazing selfless thing to do. Good on him and hope his recipient is looking after his kidney well and realises how lucky he or she is.

    Remember when shopping centres felt safe? A 4WD just crashed through this one

    A machete attack is certainly one thing but a random car driving through is just wrong place wrong time and you can't legislate for idiots. In my opinion although there may be more people around better a shopping centre than someone's home as they are inconvenienced for a considerable period...

    Cheaper solar batteries slash energy bills, spark concern among homeowners

    The power companies should never have been able to change what the existing customers had locked in with their rebates when getting solar panels. It is not right.

    Win a share of $10 Million with Coles’ latest raffle! Here’s how you can join

    I think it is discrimination to have competitions for online shopping only. It should be available to all shoppers in my opinion. I am not interested in online shopping as I have watched them choosing produce etc with absolutely no care as to whether they are okay or not. I am also not...

    Pension card holders, this Kmart perk is too good to miss!

    All these discounts certainly add up and save money for other things. Some states seem to do better than others which is unfortunate. It would be great if they all levelled up, we are meant to be one country and in my opinion should be treated as one.

    Incoming NSW $1,500 rebate: Will it be a critical lifeline as power bills bite?

    Is this for WA as well, I have not heard about this at all. Trying to match all pensioners etc to their electricity providers sounds like a big job with the chance of many falling through the cracks.
