The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, doesn’t matter which party is in power, they are all about ripping off the public purse as much as they can. Sneak through their $20,000 plus pay rise each year, after all they can’t live on the huge wage they already get, especially with all the...

I have just been diagnosed with severe arthritis in my left knee, and moderate arthritis in my right knee. I am on a prescribed medication and an over the counter medication which are helping with the pain. I have been using over the counter rubs which help to a degree. Now I am using a natural...

Funny how the Australia post website crashed before it even supposed to be open at 8.30am. Then when it was back up and running it wouldn’t accept my Visa card for payment, the same card I use for every online site I use. Then after half hour they were all sold out. I did put my name in the...

We have just dropped our private hospital cover after 50+ years. The cost has become too much of a burden for us, we need the money to put towards more necessary bills, like food. We still have extras cover as we both need a couple of major dental repairs, once we claim for them we will drop...

Promises, promises, that’s what we get told all the time, in reality nothing ever changes unless for the worst. With all the extra staff employed the waiting times haven’t changed for phone calls, and when you get through to someone you are lucky if you get a person who speaks clear English that...

Would be good to get the rent assistance rise if government also legislated landlords can’t increase the rent, I’m sure the rents in social housing as well as private rentals will go up by the same amount as the increase, or probably more. The six months prescriptions will give some help, but...

When I was at the podiatrist and told him I go barefoot most of the time at home he suggested I should wear shoes more. I told him it is probably the ”coon” blood running through my veins is why i like it, he was so shocked i would call myself that. I told him I’m proud of my heritage and never...

Lucky I’ve got a hubby who is a great handyman and can do most of our repairs as well as does all the basic servicing on all our family cars, including kids and grandkids cars. Trouble is he’s getting too old to continue getting under vehicles so our son, a heavy vehicle mechanic and our...

Very sad for the family and the police will have a hard job finding any relevant information such as CCTV, witnesses, emails, sms etc that may give an indication of why this lady ventured so far from home. There are going to be a lot more questions and answers for the police to investigate...

No, if they keep that up I doubt they will make it to 80. At least they should go out with a smile on their faces, assuming they’re not too worn out to crack a smile 😃

I have a much loved, slightly tattered book of Heidi. My older sister spent twelve months at the Far West Children’s Home in Manly when she was twelve, having treatment for congenital cataracts. This was in the early 1960s. When she returned home she had a small gift for all seven of us brothers...

Tonight on our local news there was a story about young thugs walking around our local area at night, going up to people’s front doors and trying the door. They were caught on quite a lot of security camera footage but had their faces covered. Hubby said one appeared to be a girl. The police...

It is time the law came down very hard on these so called “under age thugs”. If they are old enough to be breaking into people’s homes and terrorising them and damaging, stealing stuff, they are old enough to be thrown in jail. Jail time needs to be increased with each subsequent offence...

I wonder if whoever rents the tent gets to use all the facilities in the house for free, showering, toilet, full use of kitchen for storing and cooking food, use of internet etc etc. If not this is just an excuse to profit from someone else’s misfortune.
