    Maryanne's battle with delayed jobseeker payments: Could this also be your struggle?

    I tried for the age pension when I turned 70, my husband died and apparently I wasn't entitled to his money from joining the pension bonus scheme when he turned 65 and then worked an extra 8 years. I had to produce 9 years worth of business figures and still that wasn't enough for them to...

    A friends grandson used to drink Pepsi max which has aspartame as the sweetener, he developed an allergy to it, he's now dead. I can't understand why anyone in their right mind would use sweeteners, just learn to go without sugars. The after taste is positively revolting.

    This 'disgusting' scene in Coles' loading dock has everyone outraged

    If it was silica dust from a nearby construction it probably went into the store and through the air-conditioning as well therefore everything in the store could be contaminated. The rear of the stores are very open to the elements or the one I live next to is. And am NOT the disgusted...

    How did it become contaminated, if that's the case they need to make that public so it's obvious why it is being disposed of.

    Even with Robodebt gone, why are Centrelink debt notices still causing stress and confusion?

    Besides the bureaucracy all of the Centrelink staff right to the bottom would have known it was wrong but the lower levels would not have been able to do anything about it. The Robodebt wasn't the only dishonest thing they did, there were other areas where people were cheated out of their...

    Social media erupts as wealthy 88-year-old widow asks for pension support

    Fully agree, all of that money we had deducted towards a pension which was supposed to be solely for that purpose and older people have to fight to get a pension, so what happened to the money that was paid in, went into general revenue and was wasted by politicians. Back then women did not have...
