So the king and his queen consort are in Australia. I’m sure the visit is costing us taxpayers enough without the added expense of $97,000 being wasted on some pictures of past royal visits. Imagine how many meals for the homeless that could have provided. Time governments got their priorities...

Several years ago I wrote down the details of things like our super funds, shares, bank accounts, grandkids trust accounts, wills, anything that will help our two kids when we pass on. Friends contact details, what we want after death, eg. Private cremation, then a get together for anyone who...
