    Government reveals to drastically cut Centrelink payment wait times

    They sure did under Horrorson. Many of the more senior, experienced staff, thousands of them were made redundant. I guess anything to make life more difficult for those deemed unworthy by that disgraceful thing that masqeraded as pm and his cronies.

    2024-25 federal budget set to ‘alleviate pocket pressures’ amid cost-of-living crisis

    Get ready for the INDUE Card if you are in receipt of Centrelink payments if the LNP get back in. They have no desire to let this investors cash cow go, many of whom are Lib Party ministers and members, and have said they definitely want it. We have a poor choice in our two party system...

    Woolworths blames flooding for Easter product shortages in one state

    Our shelves here in Perth, both Woolworths and Coles are shockingly depleted. Reminds one of the CoVid shortages. As both make massive profits, which I'm sure keeps shareholders more than happy, and natural disasters etc can and do happen, surely a reliable alternative supply chain could be...

    Services Australia not meeting own processing time standards, data reveals

    Blame is at the top. Jongen needs to be replaced with someone far more competent as head of the Department. Sick of the constant empty platitudes and excuses.

    Woman confuses cancer warning for usual age spot: 'This isn't something to be taken lightly'

    I had a tiny, tiny dark spot which was removed, it was a bcc. Two years later it grew back, this time they went deep and took a wider margin. It was done in hospital. It required 3 layers of stitches to close it. Fortunately no reoccurence. I used Emu Oil twice daily massaged gently...

    Flight nightmare: A 'technical problem' on a Boeing jet left 12 passengers injured

    I experienced similar to this once on a flight from Sydney to the Gold Coast. We dropped a LONG way very suddenly, there was no turbulence at all. Everyone onboard screamed. The drop was so far that the ocean was VERY visible and close, and I wondered why/how we were still in the air! I...

    Centrelink customers reveal months of frustrating call hang ups—are you one of them?

    Sick of the same talk..'we are aware', 'we are doing our best', 'we've put on more staff' etc etc...but things keep getting worse! The current situation is untenable. Thousands of experienced staff were laid off under the previous government, and now many now don't have the necessary knowledge...

    Man meets untimely death at a Westfield charity bin: 'They need to do something'

    Further public awareness of other NGOs available who do help provide clothing and other basic items free to the disadvantaged, homeless, and lower income earners of our society. Obviously people are screened to avail themselves to these services. I agree Op shops have become a lot more...

    Are you an Airbnb user? You might be eligible for a refund—here's why!

    'What do you say to those people?' Data reveals Services Australia put on hold a staggering 7 million calls in 2023

    Services Aus. run the Centrelink AND Medicare customer services. Both impossible to get through to. I'm also under Disaster Relief, a special division of Medicare, usually easy and straight through to them regarding things. Now they too are under Services and I can't get through to anyone, on...

    Are you at risk? Infection spikes after a contagious traveller visits multiple locations

    So a traveller returned from overseas, was ill and likely symptomatic with 'something', but proceeded to get around in public, with a likelyhood of infecting other people! What part of the ' if you are sick...stay away from others' didn't they or the parents get!

    Discover why GP visits in this state will soon cost extra $15

    Wow, charming..not! We are supposedly civilised adults here having respectful discourses. And btw, you seem to have an issue with foreigners in our multi cultural country. Some of the best doctors I have seen and been treated by are foreign fyi.
