    Aussies can get up to $4,420 back in toll relief rebates—are you eligible?

    I would really appreciate it if you would 'Name that State' in the title to each article. I don't live in NSW so no relevance to me.

    From confusion to clarity: myGovID app gets a fresh new identity soon!

    I don't use 'aps' I have MyGov on my computer and find it OK for most things BUT: My major complaint is with My Aged care, which I access through to MyGov site. It is absolutely impossible to navigate compared to Medicare and the ATO. A total disgrace!

    Aussie state unveils 2024 budget with record cost-of-living relief for seniors and vulnerable residents

    Not specifically about this article, but could you please name the relevant State in your headline? I open various articles only to find they have no relevance to me, because, for example, I don't live in Tasmania, I live in Queensland, so why would I need to read this? Just a suggestion!

    Those desks with inkwells!

    Another problem I had as a left hander (Don't know why I was allowed to be in the early 1950's) was my hand rubbing on my work as I worked from left to right! So many smudges and my hand ended up all inky! I taught myself to do backwards writing (Right to left) and that solved the problem but my...

    Those desks with inkwells!

    Those desks with inkwells! We had plenty of these at my school 'back in the day' (the 1950s) and used dip pens for writing while I was in primary school. Fast forward to 1965, my last year at school in England and taking A Level exams sitting at said desks! One of the boys got a bit bored, and...

    Princess Catherine's latest appearance sparks royal health speculation and public concern

    I agree. Her name is Catherine, not Kate, and certainly not Kate Middleton!

    Mobile detection cameras to start crackdown on delinquent drivers

    We've had that rule in Queensland for quite a while, but I don't know what the fin is up here?

    Scammers target unsuspecting seniors, divert tax refunds—stay vigilant!

    The problem I have had with 'private numbers' is if you miss the call, you don't know who it was and can't call back. Centrelink and other government departments now use 'private number' to call so what to do? I complained to Centrelink, so the next time they wanted to call me they sent a text...

    Seniors Discount Club Petitions!

    I own an investment property which Centrelink has just revalued upwards by $50,000. It doesn't affect anything as far as my income goes: I don't get more rent, still pay the same interest on my mortgage, so no affect on my income EXCEPT Centrelink has reduced my fortnightly pension by $40 AND...

    A Frog's Destiny

    Me too! Is it banned now? I didn't know that and it is over 60 years since I last dissected one!

    Proposed bill aims to fine businesses and individuals up to $25,000 for refusing cash payments

    I have a market stall in the Townsville area, and am astounded at the number of potential customers AT A MARKET who don't have cash to pay for a $5 jar of jam!! Crazy!!

    Savvy mum's recipe for budget success: How to plate up savings with this meal delivery tip!

    My daughter signed up for Every Plate, and initially it worked out well, but by about week 5 or 6 it was up to $60 for 3 meals for 2 - $10 a meal, so she is now using the recipe cards to shop and it is working out well. Another idea: When my hubby was in hospital a couple of years ago I was...

    Aussies discover councils' cashback schemes on these popular products

    Not really relevant to many seniors, BUT: I think a better option is to campaign the government to cancel GST on menstural products! If I remember rightly, condoms do not attract GST but sanitary pads do!! Ridiculous!!

    Exposed: How Coles' 'cheapskate' tactics on meat could affect your grocery bill!

    In Woolworths this week I bought a pack of pork loin steaks with a red sticker saying PRICES DROPPED. on closer inspection, and in small letters it said Since 2/6/21!!! Now, that does not look like a special price to me!!

    Medicare unveils a surprising update to its cards in 2024

    I can't see why we should all be excited by this? It does nothing to assist anyone, and most would not know it is 40 years anyway. Just a bit of back patting with no economic benefit for us.
