pensions, jobseeker, youth allowance, none of them pay enough for anyone to live on. Unless you have money from other sources to rely on you will be living well below the poverty line. I am in my 70s, still working part time and don’t know if I will ever be able to afford to retire. Hubby...

Loved listening to him play guitar and sing, he wrote so many amazing songs. He sure was a spunk, good looks, good voice, lovely smile and mannerisms. I could go on and on. I only ever saw him in a couple of films, he was a good actor as well. All the good old time favorites hubby and I grew up...

Another politician with his nose firmly in the trough, ripping of the taxpayers for all he can get, and showing stuff all concern about the indigenous people he is supposed to be helping. Aided and abetted by Airbus Albasleazy and the rest of his rip the taxpayers off colleagues.

His crime is trespassing so let’s lock him up. He is 82 years old, obviously trespassing is a major crime if he needs to be locked up. Never mind the offenders guilty of serious crimes such as murder, rape, domestic violence, the list goes on, who are let off with a slap on the wrist time and...

Patty cakes We in Australia also called them butterfly cakes. They were always on the table at any party, school function, fetes, etc etc. always tasted so yummy, never lasted long as were very popular. Mum used to sometimes make them as a treat for us kids. I remember helping mum beat the...

Another past it performer who thinks he is still a star. Why people bother to pay money to see anyone who has lost the plot is beyond me. He should have retired long ago, while his fans still had good memories about him. Trouble is very few of the so called big stars of the past bothered to save...

I would be surprised if there are many of our iconic Australian brands still owned by Australian companies. While the products might still be made in Australia the end profits are going offshore. I always try to buy Australian products, but with food I find more and more of the ingredients are...

How are people still getting caught out by scammers who promise too good to be true rewards? Do they only see $ signs flashing in their face, and all common sense flies out the window? I can’t believe there are still so many gullible people around getting caught out by these scammers. They...

Hubby and I have enjoyed watching Tony on TV, he is an inspiration to for generations young and old. Hopefully he will pop up in other areas of the entertainment industry, he is a much more refreshing personality than a lot on TV. We are sure he will be successful in whatever he does going...

Unfortunately it is not safe anywhere these days, whether travelling, going out, or staying in your home. Crime is rife in every part of Australia, there is no real deterrent to stop it and to stop criminals from being repeat offenders. The police do what they can with the resources they have...

Sad result for the daughter who through no fault of her own, but because of who she married, has been left out of the mothers will. Another estranged family left behind by the mother.

Everyone in any medical field be they drs, dentists, nurses etc should have to have mind and body checks once they reach 60 I think. I know of some very good older medical people, but I also know of some I would never go to no matter what. One time hubby was in outpatients the nurse who was...

However you clean your ceiling fans if you put too much weight on the blades it unbalances them and the fan won’t spin properly. You can also buy fan blade covers at places like big w, Bunnings, that are like stocking material and fit over the blades. Just take them off regularly and gently wash...

Yep, energy assistance payments and tax cuts which everybody gets, even the mega wealthy who really don’t need them, but hey, look at us, we are giving the renters who meet our very strict criterias a lousy $23 a fortnight to help. Like that is going to fix the anguish for people living below...

The payment increases from the 20th, but most people won’t see the full amount hit their bank accounts until October due to the payment cycle they are on, so they are already behind the eight ball. By the time renters get their extra money I’m sure their rents will already have risen by more...

I’m sure hospitality workers in Australia get paid at least as much as a lot of other service workers in retail, cleaning, the list goes on. So why should we be expected to give a tip only to hospitality workers, surely the rest deserve a tip as well, for exceptional service. I don’t think...

Another day, another companies customer details hacked. Seems to be an everyday problem, it is a wonder any of us have any faith in any business. We are being encouraged to pay everything by card, one would think there must be a way for companies to protect customer details, if not they...
