    Seniors are downsizing to granny flats to help their children have a home

    As more and more people are unable to rent but also unable to buy I know many parents are sharing their house which isn't necessarily a good thing if room is limited. The other issue in SA as that is the state I live in, is that the housing trust had more names on the list for housing then they...

    See how this bakery turned a scathing review into a massive win, earning them new fans!

    I am afraid I disagree with some of the comments, I do feel the back is just as important as the front, if the front looked like the back I too would complain particularly if I paid 100 dollars for a decorated cake to have it baked iced and a cut out of a skate plonked on top. Sure we don't know...

    Are Bunnings’ sausage sizzles at risk? Find out what the company says

    I think it's a good idea to have continual training when it comes to food prep, I am the kind of person who will say something if I have seen someone about to serve me to wash their hands if they have touched their nose, or rubbed their hands through their hair, or indeed wiped their nose or...

    Coles draws flak for ‘sneakily’ raising milk prices

    Here in South Australia we have been paying 3.30 for a 2 litre bottle of Coles milk for well over a year, it isn't news to us. Is your information so far behind or are the other states suddenly being charged what we have been charged now for a long time. I sometimes wonder about the information...

    Good news for retirees: Increased income limits announced for Commonwealth Seniors Health Card, ‘thousands’ seen to benefit

    When I turned sixty I applied for a senior card and one was sent out to me, bulk billing is to my understanding if a, you have a pension concession card or b, if the doctor puts it through as a bulk bill. You don't get discounts for electricity unless you are on a pension card, and of course you...

    Well done you, I am sure the lady was very grateful to you for being honest, I know little old ladies have had handbags taken and people have had their homes broken into, that still happens today but when a little old lady can't pay her bills cos she doesn't deal with cards has no idea I am sure...

    Did you know handling cash is costing you an extra $40? CommBank boss reveals reason why

    I notice when ever this discussion comes up either here, with friends or just in general, people always say that that banks are making it harder, that the government will be watching you, that transactions will become dearer etc.. However, I have never seen someone say this. If there is no cash...

    Why has the Royal Family been banned from this 175-year-old hunting tradition?

    Sorry you only need to look at your sports people not saying that other countries don't do the same thing, but they are on pedestal's then when they don't perform they are torn down, who you are talking about is the average person who will help out a fellow countryman regardless of where they...

    Why has the Royal Family been banned from this 175-year-old hunting tradition?

    I am British yes but that isn't why I said that, I have lived in the country since I was 10, didn't want to be here originally from a child's perspective leaving all you friends behind to come to a strange country is very daunting, however over the years the one thing I have noticed about...

    Why has the Royal Family been banned from this 175-year-old hunting tradition?

    Some ridiculous answer I see here, it was leased if the Queen wanted to purchase the land then it might have happened many years ago. Would love it if hunting was banned but the new owner has a right to do what he wants with his land he paid over 44 million for. I don't see that we have any say...

    Cashless banking era approaches: Major bank announces plans to end cash and cheque services

    I always prefer to use cash, the problem with cards are that they are more accessible and you are able to just paywave it which is so stupid, I like to know what I have in my account and know that when I do use my card it comes out immediately not some time in the future. I also don't like the...
