In all my years on this earth, I have only ever gone into Sussan's once & walked out again without even trying anything on. The clothes were horrible & definitely not fashionable. Should I look again when next I am in Dubbo? Maybe. Maybe not. Trouble is, there is hardly anywhere else to buy...

What a lousy sentence for such an horrendous crime. She preyed on the emotions of hundreds of people to get a lot of money & all she gets is a 2 month sentence!! Shame on the judge who sentenced her.

These stupid chatbots are not only appearing in banks but after a recent computer upgrade one appeared on my lists of friends on facebook!! I had a long "argument" with this thing telling it to get off my computer, that it was only a bot, that it couldn't think etc., all while it was telling me...

So why do we have to wait until the end of next year for these changes to take place? Energy companies could implement them NOW if the govt had the guts to force them to act. I know they are supposed to tell you if there is a better deal available now but it doesn't always happen. A couple of...

I heard the other day (from a Home Care Provider) that the new plan has been deferred yet again & won't be available until next year - probably March 2026. Meanwhile it appears that all new packages have been frozen until this happens & we wait & wait & wait for the help we need NOW.

So glad I didn't read all this story. Bindi & Robert spend all their time trading on their father's name. I am so sick of the Irwins I wish they would all go to America & stay there so I didn't have to hear or see more of their antics to gain more publicity.

If it sounds too good to be true, you know that it's not true.

I'm in north-west NSW where even today we had a frost. I can no longer carry wood up the stairs & inside to keep a fire going so - no fire. That means all I have is a.c. & that's too expensive to run all day & night. During winter, when I got up I turned the a.c. on until 7 a.m. when the...

I agree with your doctor, as should every nurse in a hospital or aged care facility. They are trained to save lives, not end them. It is not reasonable for anyone to expect their doctor and/or nurse to assist them in dying. If this continues then we will have a huge loss of nurses & doctors...

If you believe all that twaddle you must believe in fairies & Santa. Doctors who are not part of Trump's followers have a very different story with one going so far as to state that he has less than a year to live.

I do not have a MyGov a/c & do not want to have one. If any govt agency wants to contact me they have my address. My computer is not the post office. As far as I'm concerned if businesses want to send me accounts or other correspondence via email then they have to pay for the privilege. I...

Anyone who can afford to have a holiday home should pay tax on it. So many people can't afford even one home so a 2nd home is, in effect, income producing. If someone in your family, including you, the owner, uses it for holidays then that should be taxed as income which you have gained by not...

When I care for my mother I got carers allowance & 9 weeks/year respite care. I was lucky in that I had retired before I needed to take this much care. I have a friend who worked full time while caring for her mother with advanced dementia. She was told by Centrelink that because she was...

Jobseekers have not paid taxes all their lives to be entitled to a reasonable living standard pension. You have the option to go out & get a job so you don't have to live on the Jobseeker Allowance but many of you make the choice not to work. If you want a reasonable lifestyle and later in...

The Aged Pension is not a handout. When it was started - way back when - a percentage of everyone's wage was taken as a form of taxation to be earmarked for Pension Fund. This was to be handled by the govt so that when one reached retirement age there was still money coming in. As wages have...
