    A new proposal could force working Aussies to wait until 70 to retire

    Thats the trouble - those politicians have NO idea whats it like to not be able to work. They are always living in their cloudspace. They think by dialing up the age of retirement is like playing a game of dice and HECK about the consequences of the older people. If they are playing a game - why...

    Why Aussies are furious over this newspaper column about wealthy retirees

    Exactly and good point. So they have joint pain, back pain, etc etc but they have their mental capacity to seek out advisors so they should enjoy their money while they can!

    Shocking truth about the use of force in aged care homes

    yes. to me you de-escalate by distracting the patient. Do not create a fuss. 99.99% of dementia patients do not know what they are doing ! what they are doing is NOT intentional!

    Shocking truth about the use of force in aged care homes

    I was shocked and disgusted by the action taken to bring down an elderly dementia patient. I think the police officer must have been a bully for a long time and is finally found out. Anyone knows the first thing you have to do with an elderly person let alone a dementia patient is to de-escalate...

    Why Aussies are furious over this newspaper column about wealthy retirees

    I wouldnt blame the couple to seek financial advise. Like someone else said, they just worked all their lives and their financial portfolio just increased. But I wonder why they didnt ask their children? or seek advise from financial advisors. In any case, all the best to them. I have o.o0o5% of...

    ‘We pay for your laziness’ – Radio host calls out Aussie couple who live on Centrelink payments

    To me dole bludgers are those who are 16-50 who can work but dont want to or just isnt motivated enough to get off the dole. For eg, a young man who spends his time surfing or waiting on the beach for the right surf. Or the young lady who thinks having another baby is the way to go for easy...

    Music Icon Burt Bacharach Passes Away at Age 94: Remembering a Legend

    I love his music! The caption is funny - it says "Burt Bacharach and his ex-wife Clive Davis at the Annual Pre-Grammy Party Beverly Hilton Hotel Beverly Hills, CA February 7, 2006." Clive Davis is a famous renowned Music Empressario. In that picture it could be his third wife - Jane Hansen not...

    Landlord's rent payment rant draws strong responses on social media

    With all sincerity, renting is a business transaction. You cant get personal. The landlord has its obligations and the tenant has its obligations. The owner in the video is tacky. It is no ones's business she is shortchanged by a tenant or is hard done by when the tenant doesnt pay rent. This...

    ALDI may be the most budget-friendly supermarket, but here's WHY you should 'think twice' before going

    I would agree with this article because I have done my own comparison. Generally I have found Aldi has the cheaper price but the quality of the produce is compromised. So, when I shop at Aldi, I usually purchase items that are not available in the other supermarkets or when some of their produce...

    An elderly woman with dementia was allegedly robbed of $23,000 by her aged care worker

    May I suggest that for everyone in the care of others - never have any money or jewellery around. If anything at all -these items are bait for theft by the employees caring for them. And also, if you are planning for a deceased one, remove ALL jewellery and items of precious possession from the...

    An elderly woman with dementia was allegedly robbed of $23,000 by her aged care worker

    Elder abuse, animal abuse, child abuse - mistreatment of any kind should be a criminal offense and there should be no defense at all for these villains. JAIL them and throw the keys away. The trouble with the judicial system is there is too much leniency for the villains.

    After millions of dollars in paydays, is Prince Harry now 'begging' the King for money?

    One day they are rolling with money - netflix, better up, disney , etc etc the next day they are asking for money from Charles. So which is it? I believe they are wealthy - after all she only travels in private jets, wears only designer clothes, etc.

    Prince William is ready to fight back if Prince Harry's tell-all series makes any false accusations about the royal family

    They are the worst representatives for whatevr causes they are paid for. They are liars, grifters and biggest hypocrites next to politicians in the world. They claim to be climate change activists but they only travel in private jets even for short domestic trips. They claim to want privacy but...
