When my Husband was alive and with me working (retirement was 65. I worked until 73. ) My Husband also lost his Australian pension. Though our NZ pension stayed the same. I was still working when he died and NZ paid an extra payment. I think to help with Funeral costs etc. Not...

Unfortunately, as I have been informed, the unemployed have rights. I thought all of us who have worked and paid taxes would have our right to vote to make the unemployed work for their payment. There are many who do volunteering, which helps towards getting paid employment but too many who...

Whats new for Qld. Even the extension of the GC H'way isnt finished. Yet it is now down to being 2 lanes each way. So 6 years. The Bruce H'way, a disgrace after the Gympie bypass. So sorry, you lot in Paluma, don't hold your breath. Qld goes on a go slow method.

Quicker if possible to drive to a centrelink office than try and get someone to speak to ine on the phone

My Husband belonged to the Diabetes Society and their Magazine keeps one up-to-date, with lots of interesting articles and also what research is happening re Diabetes. But also all these sugar free drinks on the market are full of chemicals. Worse for your health.

Whats new. Over processed products have been around for a long time. They have always been unhealthy and cause of many health problems

Yes, but it does give people plenty of variety. I get my skin care products from an Australian company, and they have an outlet in NZ. I can order from them for Great Grandchildren, Birthday and Christmas. All natural ingredients

Some people live in apartments that have no private outdoor areas. I know a lot of herbs can be grown inside in pots. But they do like some fresh air and a lot of apartments have air-conditioning running 24/7
