    Struggling to make ends meet? Upcoming Centrelink boost still not enough for Aussies

    I feel for you Lelly the Government doesn’t treat its veterans any better than its age pensioners. I’m a war widow, living in private rentals, my lease runs out in January I probably will be offered a new lease but at an increased rent. So I’m stressed now as to if I will be able to afford...

    Struggling to make ends meet? Upcoming Centrelink boost still not enough for Aussies

    You are very rude to call anyone a Whiner ! A lot of people have good reason to be disappointed with the raise. I suppose we should be grateful that it’s a little more than the cost of bread and milk that it usually is. I guess you are an ex government worker who doesn’t need an age...

    Struggling to make ends meet? Upcoming Centrelink boost still not enough for Aussies

    All very well if you can do that. But if you are stuck in private rentals with rent at $500 plus a week and a postage size yard that’s that you are not allowed to plant anything then you are completely stuffed !

    Outrage over cashless parking meters: High costs and privacy concerns

    I don’t live in Sydney nor do I drive. BUT why do we have to put our bank details into a damn parking machine ? We are always told don’t give your bank details to anyone ! Then along comes the council or government and just about anyone, and to do business with them they want your bank...

    Australia Post unveils their new classic TV show's stamp collection

    I think I’ve probably bought one stamp in the last 5 years, and I’m not the only one as I haven’t received a letter in that time either. Do stamp collectors buy these kind of stamps 🤷‍♀️

    Aussies will be shocked by what US supermarkets offer compared to Coles & Woolworths!

    I’ve been hearing of a lot of places in America that stopped using self serve checkouts, and I’m hoping it happens here eventually. There is only ever one or two manned checkouts open now but it’s so much better to go to a friendly checkout person than go to self serve and be greeted by a...

    Dressing Table

    Memories yes fond ones no 😂 I remember my Mum had one similar to that 70 odd years ago, I hated the thing. Maybe it was old fashioned then and I didn’t and still don’t like old fashioned even though I’m now old !! I’ve always preferred modern

    Prince Harry shakes up royal scene with dramatic UK return

    I’ve just read his book and can’t really see what all the fuss was about ! If he goes back to the UK I wonder if it will be on a part time basis, because Megan has said she won’t go back. She would need extra security if she did, I don’t think the Brits would easily forgive her !

    Care worker guilty of performing sex act with elderly man with dementia

    He will probably serve a few months and be out, I doubt they will deport him either. The judicial system here is far too soft ! In my opinion anyone coming into this country who commits a crime of any sort should be immediately deported. Why should taxpayers pay to keep them in jail.
