Further to my previous message above. We are both aged pensioners. I get podiatry free my husband at his last visit was advised that he would have to pay in future and he would get a refund of part from medicare. They need to make up their minds. This has all come about since the Labour...

That is something new to me. I have never had to show anything other than my ticket. No other form of identification.. Goodness me what next. I have travelled in many countries and never been asked for another form of identification

There is too much inconsistency with how the doctors charge the elderly. My husband goes to a different surgery to me and he is charged the full fee and it is paid immediately and then he gets a refund of approx half from medicare. My surgery does not charge me. My husband is in his late 80's...

With all these vehicle thefts we the general car owners are paying for this with the cost of insurance

I have been on Facebook for some years now and have Never seen any ads such as these reported. I do however only use sites that are related to my embroidery. I never accept requests for friendship either. Do it is up to the person accepting these things. I have used Marketplace on rare...

I would never invest with some unknown entity and I have never heard of Validus.

I dont have a smart phone just a simple one for calls. We still need a paper receiot when shopping at the major supermarkets as they often stop people when exiting for proof you are not stealing. I have sometimes checked my docket and found that I have been charged twice for an item or overcharged

gossip gossip gossip!

Once again it seems to me it is all to do with recommending people invest in money making schemes. If anyone is stupid enough to act on these calls then they have only themselves to blame. Surely we all know by now that these are scams

Our insurance went up by approx $300 and we have had no claims in many years and do not live in any zone for bushfires and floods. I checked quite a number of companies and they were all about the same cost. We are with AAMI. I did consider not insuring but did not want to tempt fate

What does AMR stand for ...never heard of it?

The scam that Suzanne got may have originated by someone using Facebook. My friend got this scam over a year ago and I advised her it was a scam but she is still not happpy that this person is going to spread untruths about her to all her contacts. Well I am one and have not had any information...

I was subscribed Somac by my doctor but only to be used when needed. I am glad to have read this article. Any tablets left at this stage I must check if they have expired as I only use Gaviscon now if necessary. Eating late at night is one of the causes of indigestion

When we first applied some years ago for the age pension we were asked that question. How much money do you have in your purse and I said a hundred dollars as that was for housekeeping.

This is ridiculous!!!! There are identical twins who even their own family find it hard to recognise them individually. I had two sons who looked very much alike and they also had cousins that were very much alike as they had the same grandfather and looked very much like him.

We are ok on the pension because we did not live the high life. I had no super and my husbands super only started when it was compulsory. We own our home so that is a big saving. I feel for those renting especially the single ones. since retiring we have had holidays but did not have while...

I have had that happen. I was unable to turn off the computer so unplugged everything while I thought what I could do. My virus checker did not operate. I tried all sorts of ways to shut down to no avail but after a while it appeared to be gone. I decided to leave it for some time and then...

Thanks for your reply but when I did ask my doctor he told me to go online and contact Aged care which is what I did and it was quite complicated so I rang them but they said I already had a cleaning option but had not taken it up so after I have just given up

I too have had problems with this . When I left hospital in 2022 after having stents put in I was advised to have the aged care help. I was contacted and at the time my husband was able to help so we denied the help from the Government. This year I have not been as well as I usually am so have...

This is only the heating bills but there are other bills to be paid
