    Could your child be blocked from your money if you become unwell? This family warns yes

    I had exactly this problem with NAB when I had enduring power of attorney for my mother which she had established before she was in a nursing home with increasing dementia. The bank made me feel like I was trying to rob my mother and humiliated me in front of other customers. I had to pay every...

    MasterChef star’s ambitious restaurant ends in heartbreaking failure

    I have loved Reynold ever since his very first appearance on Masterchef and he was absolutely robbed of winning the title. His creations were absolute works of art as well as looking delicious. Living in Queensland i was never fortunate to enjoy any of his pastries or desserts. I wish him every...

    You won’t believe how this $3 Kmart find could totally transform your cleaning routine

    I drove 30 klms to reach our nearest Kmart. I scoured the store and even asked staff . They had never heard of it nor knew where it was. Even phoning to a supervisor.

    Ready for a tourism ad that actually makes you smile? Watch Robert Irwin charm the world

    Robert is a genuine, loveable, proud Aussie and his ability to relate to everyone and make everyone feel welcome is perfect as a tourism ambassador. He isn’t just a figurehead while others do all the work. Nor is he an overpaid sports hero whose private behaviour is shameful. These ads will be...

    It takes 10 minutes a day—but it could save you $260 at the grocery checkout

    I do surveys too on several panels and keep the earnings until near Christmas when I get vouchers or cards to buy presents. Usually totalling around $500. I also save up all the Flybuys I get from shopping at Coles and affiliated stores plus by using my Coles MasterCard to pay bills, buy almost...

    Think prices can’t get any worse? Wait till you see this $90 pub meal

    Outrageous and I don't care how marbled the steak is nor if it was a champion Waygu called Boris. A bag of chips will stop hunger. Yes, a nice tasty meal out where you don't have to cook or clean up is a treat but as long as some people will pay that price, greedy gourmet pubs and restaurateurs...

    Backlash erupts after surprise council move leaves locals fuming

    Whatever the date, there will always people who choose to complain. We cannot change what happened in the past, so we have had a national apology and let's move on. Even most 'indigenous' Australians now have other nationalities blood in them and it is good they are proud but we are ALL...

    TV favourite remembered after heartfelt final farewell at 96

    I love people in all their varieties and watching, listening to others show us just how varied and fascinating humans are. Thank Heavens we can watch what we personally enjoy and do not assume that only we have an intellect and everyone else is below our standards. What a boring old world it...

    TV favourite remembered after heartfelt final farewell at 96

    I loved Emmie’s naughty comments, especially when we least expected her to mention that she might still enjoy sex, former boyfriends and things audiences do not connect with us Senior Ladies. I wish her daughter and granddaughter were still on Gogglebox.

    Coles shoppers twist iconic $10 slogan in unexpected way

    The things he stole and bought are quite expensive and there are cheaper options. I find that many people do not know how to shop, plan meals or even cook budget friendly meals. One 500g of Coles' mince beef with added veg, sauces, or pasta makes dinner for the two of us for two - three three...

    New scam outsmarts security measures—what every Aussie should know

    My 84 year old husband was fooled and didn't suspect it was not the genuine site so he clicked to open. However he then asked me to see what it was about as he has trouble sometimes understanding Government messages. I immediately realised it was fake and told him to access his real account. In...

    Aussie council plan delivers $7,000 savings starting July

    Noosa is desperate for hospitality, retail, cleaners and other home maintenance workers because there is no affordable accommodation. Much of the residential buildings are owned by investors or are in the multi million dollar bracket and so unaffordable for anyone working in those industries...
