Looks like it, most of us will be happy with the extra bit of money except those who want to drink and smoke all day

Its better than nothing, $500 will go a long way in my house, you obviously don't live on the breadline.

Its about time the GOVERNMENT RELIZED THAT PEOPLE OVER THE GAE OF 65 ARE AN ASSET TO THE ECONOMY, BUT THE FACT THAT THEY ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO HAVE AN INCOME OF AROUND $200 A FORTNIGHT PRECLUDES THEM FROM ANY WORK. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD HAVE ALLOWED ALL PEOPLE OVER THE PENSION AGE ( 65) TO BE ABLE...

At least the trolleys weren't vandalized, left beside the road or dumped in creeks. Maybe a bit of fun by bored teenagers.It could have been worse.

Its a NO from me. I can think of other things I'd rather enjoy

The slippers may be cheap, but they would be made in China, anything with quality "Made in Australia" will cost more to produce. Our reliance on China for everything only adds to the unemployment of Australians. I own a pair of UGG boots that I have had for 15 years and will probably see me out...

So very true, today's generation expects the taxpayer to foot the bill for everything. I know a women with 3 kids on Centrelink and she has no intention of trying to get a job, nor provide rent for herself. Last Christmas she went to 7 charities who all gave her presents for the kids, huge...

I worked in the kitchen of the Wyndham W.A meatworks in 1973. Lunch was Fillet Minion and other meals. The Yugoslavs who worked with the hides came in and demanded "steak" we told them that Fillet Minion was steak but they started to yell "steak"and grumble at staff, there was some stewing...

Definitely, or Maccas will just throw the CVs of older people in the bin and the older person will be hanging out to see if they got the job.

Thats a bit of a joke, imagine going into Maccas and having old people serving and not being as agile as the young ones. Lets be real here.

Everyone knows McDonalds is for young people, my niece started at Maccas at 15 on weekends and after school, her sister worked there. Mum was single and on low wages so everyone had to pitch in, starting at Maccas was a way the kids provided for themselves and valued money. I think anyone 60...

Not all owners do repairs when they are needed. It often takes months .....or never to get repairs done.

I lived in an old house in Perth, the floor did not meet the wall and the carpet had been tacked to the wall. When it was very windy the carpet would flutter across the floor, The agent was told of a multitude of problems but would do nothing. The electric stove in the kitchen rusted out and...

Queensland has a heap of mines, yet we get nothing from the Premier, you have a good Premier

Despise is the word for my mother. She left me in the hospital after she had me, abandoned me and my sister to a Childrens home in NSW, we were there for 7 years, our grandma used to take us home to her garage she lived in very school holidays in summer. My grandparents were very poor but very...

Thank you for the Mother's day wishes, often people do not know how hard some mums work to keep a single parent & income together. I learnt how to check the water, oil, and transmission oil every Monday, forget the petrol, if you run out of that the car stops, if you run out of the other 3 you...

I think that up to 40, gives a child at least a large proportion of having you in their lives, maybe grandchildren.... My husband died at 56leaving me with a 17 year old, I suddenly had to get a job so I could afford her high school fees, then Uni. I often went without because I needed to...

I think it is sad for the children, old parents, older than granparents do not have the energy or life span as a baby born to younger parents. Most have spent their time making money over the years and think they can buy their kids all the things they are not capable of. How many granparents...

We grew up in an era of "waste not, want not', so I have saved over my working life as a single mother to be able to own my own home, put away some super and a bit in the bank, my pension is $170 a fortnight. I've worked over 50 years. My so-called retirement pension was taken away from me for...

We had a Cyclops 3 wheeler like that , it served 3 kids who took it in turns to use without any fights. I kept it and my own children used it, but when my grand daughter came along she refused it saying it was too old and not modern enough, hers had plastic bits that broke and bits that went...
