    Older Australians are also hurting from the housing crisis. Where are the election policies to help them?

    Allowing 1.5 million immigrants into the country in 3 years has also driven up the housing shortage. Not only that, but those 1.5 million people also put stress on our services. Not just hospitals schools and housing, but traffic, food supply, and ongoing government support, to name just a few...

    Are Australia's banking services changing soon? Bank chief reveals monumental changes ahead

    Our business is mobile, and there are several places with lousy coverage ,and we can only accept cash as our eftpos machines don't work. It's ok for city dwellers, but some country areas were still operating on 3g. When that went, there are huge black spots. Paying a couple of hundred dollars...

    Escape to Down Under Gone Wrong: This Family Left Scotland for Australia and Regretted It Almost Immediately!

    The killer is childcare. It has developed into big business, and most centres in the major capital cities are owned by investors. They hike up the fees, knowing full well that people have no choice. Gone are the days of small people friendly centres, it's all about the dollars now. 4 Corners...

    Promises, promises in election 2025: What major parties are offering older Australians

    All political parties should be held accountable to the promises they make. If they can't deliver when they say they can, they have lied and have no place in politics. If you believe half of them, I have a coat hanger bridge I can sell you.

    ‘This is actually breaking my heart’: Rescuers share heart-wrenching details of a wildlife tragedy

    Is this supermarket finally coming to your state? This plan could transform locals' shopping experience

    Absolute crock of the proverbial. McKim knows very well that Aldi has been asked numerous times to come to Tassie. The reply is always NO. This is political grandstanding at it's best.

    Have you ever encountered this during your flight? Passenger shares bizarre encounter in Jetstar airline

    I gave up flying with Jetstar years ago. Plane delays, not being able to drop bags off until book in time. Lower limits on baggage weight, and generally unhelpful staff.

    Is this the tipping point for electric cars in Australia? Experts weigh in

    After watching the channel 7 tv show Spotlight last night, I wouldn't have an EV if you gave it to me. So called "Clean Green" vehicles that are killing people in Indonesia, poisoning their fishing grounds, and raping the landscape, all to supply dirty Nickel for 90% of the batteries in EV's...

    Community members split over this council's plans towards 'beautiful' trees

    What I would like to know, is who in their right mind would put power lines over trees. Same thing happened in my hometown of Beaconsfield. The council was informed by the power company that the trees were diseased and causing hassles so decided to cut them down. The alarm was raised, and...

    Aussie government announces changes to the federal budget! How can seniors benefit from it?

    The Government isn't giving us all this, the taxpayer is. The Government is the one who has driven our living standards down through mismanagement and lack of housing by bringing in 1.5 million immigrants in the past 3 years. Meanwhile, the poor pensioner doesn't even get enough for a carton...
