    Centrelink users express outrage over long wait times: ‘You're on your own pretty much’

    If you need to contact Centrelink call at 8.00am. It’s the time they open and can drop wait times down to as little as 3/4 hour instead of 2-3 hours during the day.

    Researchers suggest cigarette-style warning labels on meat to reduce consumption

    Years ago red meat was good for us. Now a cows fat is destroying the atmosphere. If that was the case the air would be smelling of farts by now. Put a warning label on red meat but I for one will continue to eat it. No vegetarian or vegan for this carnivore!!!
