    I 150% agree. I'm 63yrs have chronic migraines, carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands and still have to apply for jobs every month knowing no one is going to employ me as I am considered a risk. My medical certs for Centrelink are not recognised anymore as it is not temporary and lasts more than...

    I am on jobseeker and am 63yrs old. I got a little more due to being over 55 or something like that but it honestly doesn't help with the cost of living. I also rent privately and receive the highest rent assistance that I can get. Now this is the worst part . My rent goes up I still have to pay...

    ‘Not a pleasant thing’: Princess Kate reportedly ‘struggles’ as she proceeds with cancer treatment

    I just wish that the media etc would leave Catherine alone to recuperate in peace. Also why does all media etc still call her Kate Middleton? She is Catherine HRH Princess of Wales. In my opinion calling her Kate is disrespectful...

    Insider reveals possibilities amid Princess Catherine's health condition. Is her Royal role at risk?

    I totally agree with you. When a person whether they are Royalty, etc etc or just a normal person who goes through any form of treatment for cancer needs to have their privacy protested. All the "so called insiders" in my opinion are just gossip mongers and want to make things worse than they...

    Serial bargain hunter 'blown away' by massive discount at Coles

    When I went to Woolies earlier today, the guy was marking down $12 chickens for $4.80 and some of the beef for 6.00, and some organic chickens for $5.00 . So I got a $4.80 chicken which made me feel good at least my small shopping didn't cost me way too much. But $1.00 is an awesome bargain. My...

    Report reveals new details about Princess of Wales—will she be back anytime soon?

    I agree with you Shirley. I too am in Western Australia and wish nothing but a good and peaceful recovery for The Princess of Wales. Also it is about time the media etc leave both the Princess and King alone at this time as well as the rest of the Royal Family.

    Mum's outrage sparks controversy: Is this Kmart product inappropriate for children?

    There is nothing wrong with the top. If her daughter is a teenager what kind of clothing does she wear? I have seen more inappropriate clothes on pre teens and teenage girls then this top. In my opinion this woman is just wanting some attention and to try to make something out of nothing. Isn't...

    The only state to miss out is WA which is where I live but to be honest I deal with the tears when I do encounter those onions. I prefer to spend my money on something else besides tearless onions...
