    Elderly residents at risk as government's inaction leaves countless without homes

    At 84 and comfortably settled, my heart breaks for these residents. Cruelty comes in all forms. What does government want them to do? Die on the footpath? I see such waste in government spending time to redirect to our needy . Not a fan of public protest but this deserves one.

    Eighty drivers face license loss and heavy fines over mobile phone use

    No I don’t think it will deter repeat offenders. With so many cars that the phones go through and you just speak surely things will improve. Perhaps educate children so they can have a say when in the car. Also wonder if the worst of them racking up thousands of dollars worth actually pay it.

    Cost-of-living crisis: Centrelink scammers leave Aussie couple $1000 short

    I feel for these people, however the number 1 thing we are told not to do is share sensitive information. Might not be scammers but either way just pick up a phone. I am no spring chicken 84 but when in doubt I don’t.
