    Ageing in a Healthcare Maze: Are Older Australians Being Let Down?

    The US is not saving millions for their country most of any savings will go into the already full coffers of the wealthy. The WHO doesn't have any agender to take over or control other countries health systems. The agreement solely relates to strategies for not only Australia but the also the...

    Ageing in a Healthcare Maze: Are Older Australians Being Let Down?

    Too few surgeons I suspect and overloaded hospitals. The same in the UK.

    Ageing in a Healthcare Maze: Are Older Australians Being Let Down?

    The only reason the US pulled out is because Trump wants to give huge tax cuts to the wealthy and has absolutely no regard for the average US citizens. If you read the WHO agreement it says countries have the say about their own health systems.

    Ageing in a Healthcare Maze: Are Older Australians Being Let Down?

    Please what are you talking about? We are aged pensioners and when my husband needed fairly urgent heart operation it was done within a fortnight and when he had a brain bleed taken to hospital immediately and operated on that night. We don't have private health cover. Be grateful for what we...

    Ageing in a Healthcare Maze: Are Older Australians Being Let Down?

    Are you saying that people who haven't been able to work for one reason or another and therefore unable contribute should not get a pension or free health care? Surely in this selfish world we can help people who are less fortunate than ourselves. The homeless for example. How are they supposed...

    Ageing in a Healthcare Maze: Are Older Australians Being Let Down?

    Please don't quote the USA. There health system is a joke and getting worse. Albo, I believe, has our interests at heart which is a lot more that Trump, JFK and his sycophants have in regard to their citizens. Australia will have sovereign power to make all Australian health decisions. The WHO...

    Ageing in a Healthcare Maze: Are Older Australians Being Let Down?

    My husband had a severe headache. For most people a couple of Panadol would suffice but a few years ago he had a bleed in the his brain which needed urgent surgery. Being cautious we went to our local hospital emergency department. Arrived about 9am and didn't see a docter until about 2.00pm or...

    Ageing in a Healthcare Maze: Are Older Australians Being Let Down?

    I also have never had any problems finding a bulk billing doctor. Getting in to see a doctor at the doctors surgery I have used for over 30 years became very difficult and recently when I had diverticulitis and was running a very high temp and really sick, I couldn't get in to see anyone...

    ‘$3.10 isn't even a litre of milk’: Centrelink recipients slam latest payment increase

    What a cruel comment. Not everyone is able to work. Your lack of empathy is staggering. The amount they get hardly keeps them in food and rent. Many would work if they were able. Do you know this man's circumstances? Don't make such a vile comment until you know tha facts.

    ‘$3.10 isn't even a litre of milk’: Centrelink recipients slam latest payment increase

    The increase in Job Seeker and the age pension is ludicrous. Almost couldn't believe it when I read the amount. Why are we funding an Olympics when so many people are struggling? $800,000 for Aucus to a country that is about to slap us with tarrifs and is lead by a dictator. The supermarkets...

    ‘Shut up’: Heated clash erupts live on TV over former PM’s explosive comments

    I think all countries should stand up to Trump.The Republican Party in the main are sycophants all going along with his madness so they don't lose their jobs. As for the oligharchs they have one objective to boost their overflowing bank accounts. The whole situation in the US is obscene.

    Critics blast the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their appearances amid ongoing crisis

    Any support financial or otherwise should be respected and welcomed. I am not a fan of the Sussexes but if they comforted just one person it should be considered an act of kindness.
