    From past panics to new shortages, another grocery scramble hits supermarket shelves

    Thanks so much for that Vegie. Was trying to think of the best way to get there. My brother said he would pick me up, but I don't like putting people out, it's quite a drive. I used to live in Bunyip many years ago, and my brother has what was our parents property on 7 acres. I paid $6,800...

    Yes, you're right. You've certainly learnt your way around since moving to WA. I'm taking a trip back to Vic in February to visit my brother. Hope I can find my way back to Pakenham, I haven't been there in 20 years

    OMG, enough with the conspiracy theories. Go to SA potato farmers and take a look for yourselves

    You're right Vegie, probably why my local IGA had some. Unfortunately no Spud Shed near Wagin.

    From past panics to new shortages, another grocery scramble hits supermarket shelves

    There is definitely a potato shortage. I have friends in SA who are potato growers, they lost over 90% of this year crop, as did most of their neighbours and many others in different areas of SA. They, like everyone else, are struggling to make ends meet. They are not hanging onto potato for...

    Corporate watchdog slams superannuation funds on 'customer service', communications with retirees

    Yes, a lot people don't realise that the Power of Attorney ceases when the person dies, and the Executor of the Will takes over.

    Behind breakfast scenes: Why TV host's return has Channel 9 in crisis mode

    I often note good shows on 7Flix but don't seem to be able to pick this Channel up. Does anyone in the Great Southern know what Channel I need to access 7Flix. I wasn't able to pick this up when I lived in the Wheatbelt either We can access all other Channel 7 shows, although they are all...

    Behind breakfast scenes: Why TV host's return has Channel 9 in crisis mode

    I thought exactly the same about Natalie. Giving her job to Sam and then giving Natalie small drop in spots. What an insult and extremely rude. No wonder Channel 9 can't get it right, They don't seem to know what they're doing. I personally prefer Channel 7.

    Behind breakfast scenes: Why TV host's return has Channel 9 in crisis mode

    I can't stand Karl, or Sam Armitage for that matter. In saying that it doesn't make much difference to me, I don't watch morning TV. I spend most mornings in my garden, much more enjoyable than watching the idiot box. If the weather isn't good for gardening I like to keep my brain active doing...

    Could your spare room help solve Australia’s housing crisis? The boarding boom seniors need to know about

    I wouldn't even consider this for one minute. All the Centrelink and ATO intrusions into your life would be unbearable. It's bad enough having to worry about every other little change in your life that you need to report without adding more to the mix.

    Lucky escape as retiree outsmarts $15,000 remote access scammers but others may not

    I don't really know but I would imagine they don't do these recoveries for free. You say they've managed to recover 70% of your $300,000 and you've received $210,000, well that's 70%. If that's all they recovered then you've received it all. I'd say you're lucky. Most people receive nothing.

    Growing crisis puts postal workers' safety in spotlight
