    I want staff interaction not technology when I shop, I won't use self serve that is why it is easier for me to shop online and have it delivered by really nice mean and sometimes a woman and the put it right up in my doorway. I call it service with a smile like it used to be.

    The advertising revolution that's dividing Australian shoppers: Why AI-generated ads are here to stay

    I do AI designs of animals for my church ministry, there are signs easily that it is AI, you just have to know what to look for. It is so easy to do but we only use it as a background to our online ministry and no I am not in a way out religion but a mainstream one, which is using technology, I...

    'Loophole' in taxi regulation leaves disabled passengers at the kerb

    I have received a letter from the Queensland Government stating that all TSS cards have to be accepted by taxis. You can take the cab number and report them if they don't. It used to happen all the time that some of the taxis wouldn't accept it but so far lately, I have had no trouble.

    AI phone scam warning exposes new $1,500 trap targeting Australians

    There are pop up messages in my bank's app that keep warning you of these things. I would, I hope, never ring a number given to me in an email or text, I would dial their main number. We all have to be so careful these days.

    The medicinal cannabis gold rush that's got doctors worried—and what it means for you

    I had a friend who had vascular dementia and the medical marijiana was the only thing that worked for him in the nursing home to stop aggression. I for one, wouldn't take it even if my pain was severe and I hope it if end up in a nursing home, I wouldn't be put on it. There are, I believe, other...

    Hidden costs ahead?! Why you need to read your Medicare annual notice NOW

    Being on a plethora of medications and although having met my safety net, I am still out of pocket for medications. I will need to look up what the GP Scheme covers apart from podiatry which I now get out of my aged care package or did, don't know when the changes come in. I seem to be forever...

    Growing crisis puts postal workers' safety in spotlight

    I really like my Australia Post letter and parcel deliverers. Courteous, kind and a quick chat,, coming down my unit driveway with the lunatic NDIS workers who speed down our driveway and nearly take residents and posities out. I don't envy the posties job at all. They are usually really nice...

    Finally! An end to government paperwork limbo: Labor’s bold move to stop you filling out the same forms over and over

    They are telling me I need a passkey to get my information, cannot do it over the phone so it will be a long trip to their offices in taxis. If they simplified things it would be good. Meanwhile it is costing me cab fares

    Did Labor just block 20,000 aged care packages to save money? Sam Rae breaks his silence

    Has this government any idea of what it is doing. It is affecting vulnerable older people, some of whom will die waiting for this help. And there are more baby boomers coming into the system so the number is probably even higher. Can both sides of parliament sit down and talk and help the...

    Hospital pneumonia kills Wollongong man waiting for aged care bed

    I am so sorry to hear about this, breathing problems are the pit and going to hospital all the time is not fun. I am sorry that none of the treatments work for you. Good on you for being pig headed, that is sometimes the only way to get things done. You have a great day as well.

    Hospital pneumonia kills Wollongong man waiting for aged care bed

    I suppose it is early days with VAD and some foreign doctors, it would be against their beliefs? But Australian doctors probably are waiting to see how it goes before they commit to offering their services. I remember when my mother was dying with cancer in a nursing home, the doctor just kept...

    Hospital pneumonia kills Wollongong man waiting for aged care bed

    You don't need to tell others to make your own decision. It is an individual choice. i was just thinking it would be easier to do VAD if you had the help of medical professionals who might make it more comfortable for you.
