    Late-Life Learning

    I have attended TAFE courses and completed two degrees at University. The amount of money they charge University students doesn't match the quality of teaching at Universities. The teaching was so much better at TAFE. I feel that there is not enough pracitcal lessons at University. No wonder...

    Bunnings secures second spot as the most trusted brand; Optus stays last

    I am 84 years old and during my life time I have learned not to trust doctors, especially those who write reports for Comcare, including especially Psychiatrists.

    Survey reveals biggest complaints against younger generations: ‘Really frustrating’

    What annoys me: 1. People accusing me of something when they don't even approach me first to find out what really happened. They apparently don't learn effective communication at school. 2. The text that comes up on the TV that isn't spelt correctly and is either too fast or too slow and...

    Since moving from Lismore and Wardell where the caravan cafe sells Pies and then adds mushy peas and mashed potato, I haven't found a nice pie at all. Their Apple pies are also the best because they use flaky pastry and not that hard pastry with sugar on it.

    Did you notice that Chris Minns was wiping his runny nose with his hands during his speech on TV. I don't know if this was before he shook hands with the students at TAFE or after. Not a good example for Covid and hygene.

    Is your GP still bulk billing? Shocking report reveals a sudden drop in rates last year

    From my understanding GP's who bulk bill receive $20 per visit of patients. I think if we had true leadership Policiticans would forego their last pay rise and give more to the GPs. I doubt if they would work for $20 per half hour, and with all the overhead expenses they have as well...

    The shortage in affordable housing is the government's fault. They have been selling off their social housing for many years and not replacing them. The government need to have a good hard look at their own policies. Why can't they put a cap on rental houses. Most of them are owned by the rich.

    I tired to use a QR code once during Covid going into Woolworths. It didn't work. I don't trust them. I feel that even down loading Apps onto your isn't safe, so I leave them alone. They should not be mandatory to use them.
