    58,000 Aussies in caravans get payment clarity under Centrelink’s latest update

    Well before I hit 65, the nasty unhelpful ratbags at Centrelink told me, YELLED at me that there’s as no way Centrelink ever gave any financial advice to anyone. That’s not their job If I wanted any firm if financial advice or assistance I had to find a fibs feel consultant and pay for it...

    You won't believe what these famous sitcom spouses look like now—see Hollywood’s golden couple reappear after years out of the spotlight!

    Loved Paula Prentiss. Her speech pattern and vocalisation always fascinated me. She was sooo entertaining, a really good funny actress. I wish our boring FTA TV would re-run series like this one. Call them “The 60s Revisited” or “The Way it Was”. After all Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, and MASH...

    My first day home from major Bowel cancer surgery (leaving me w horrendous complications for life), I was ordered to attend a psychiatrist to see why I thought I could not work. Late Stage Three Bowel Cancer, 22 rounds of Chemotherapy, 22 rounds of Radiation, massive surgery, followed by...

    Are you sitting in trouble? Furniture brand recalls popular home item

    I will never trust splayed leg chairs. The splaying creates up to 3 times more stress on the unit which is extremely dangerous, and unnecessary. It is basic bad design. Glass that shatters as described is not made to Australian standards. It is imported from China and is well-known for...

    Are Aussie vehicles slowly blinding you? Motorists rev up debate over this modern feature

    Absolutely AGREE! The latest NV are dangerous in their excessive headlight glare to oncoming traffic! Also the now near invisible INDICATOR lights !

    Kmart’s Homewares Dupe Is Turning Heads—Could You Be Missing Out on Designer Style for Half the Price?

    I just wish Kmart had one chair already assembled so to SIT in it and actually test out how it feels, before having to lug the entire thing home, assemble it, then see if it is right. Because Kmart REFUSES returns unless it is unassembled and back inside the undamaged box! It’s the...

    After decades of making multi millions out of the insured who never claimed a cent, it stinks though heaven that these disgusting Insurance companies are now allowed to rip off every single person by vastly increasing premiums to the point now many thousands of businesses and people can no...
