    From dream to nightmare: Distressing reality of retirement living for Aussie seniors

    Not just Pinnacle, they are all the same. I have a friend who put her father in a place up here and then covid hit. He could not go anywhere then after covid they told her he wasn't fit enough to go on outings but would not refund the fees he had paid for these outings. Getting money under false...

    From dream to nightmare: Distressing reality of retirement living for Aussie seniors

    I would never, ever go into a retirement village. I saw what my father went through. He was a bit of an "I am" but that aside many of the residents were a lot wealthier than him and treated him badly. Also the fees kept climbing. He was there for 23 years. I stayed with him for a couple of weeks...

    This Woman Ate ONLY Sardines for 70 Days and You Won't Believe the Shocking Results! Discover Her Journey Now!

    No surprises here. Suggesting it is restrictive is counter productive. We aren't supposed to be eating 3/4 of what is on the supermarket shelves. Total rubbish most of it. Many people only eat meat with salt and drink water. They ended up healthy. Don't know of anyone who has died from it yet. I...

    Scrambling for Breakfast? Find Out Why Eggs Are Disappearing from Store Shelves!

    yeah her we go again. More BS from those who would make more money off us. So much junk out that and people actually believe it all. Watch the price of eggs double, if we can ever get them. Oh and don't forget you now have to register even one chicken in the UK. Watch for that to happen here...

    Government funding disparities raise concerns over wildlife protection

    No way I would feed birds bread. It is poison for them. They need wild bird seeds and some can have fruit. We get rainbow lorikeets in our yard for the bottle brush flower nectar. They love it. Wild life carers and those who know have been shouting from the roof tops for years about not feeding...

    Government funding disparities raise concerns over wildlife protection

    Oh for goodness sake. There is no such thing as a virus. It's all about making food scarce and expensive so the big boys get all the money. So sick of hearing the crap. Ignore it. It doesn't exist. They are murdering millions of animals just to push prices higher so they make more money at our...

    Discover surprising truth behind Australia's alarming mpox case surge!

    Of course you have to believe that viruses actually exist. More likely some bacteria causing the issues and symptoms. And anyone who is really unhealthy will be getting it.

    Weighty issue at ALDI: Customers mince no words over alleged meat mislabelling!

    Don't quote me but I believe the e on the package beside the weight stands for "estimated" which is just junk in opinion. Allows them to fiddle with the weight without being pulled up for lying.

    Is Australia's effort too little to prevent this massive extinction? Advocacy group shares ‘pathetic’ detail

    Biggest issue is this a scam. No virus exists. All about making us eating plant based food and bugs. Trying to knock off the animal food. So this is really murder of animals and birds. Dreadful what people will do for money, power and control

    Who actually buys this junk. Sugar loaded rubbish sold by a company whose CEO promotes paying a high price for water. Won't go near it or any other Nestle product

    Prices Are Exploding! Are You Prepared to Give Up This Essential Australian Grocery Item?

    Low cholesterol anything is garbage. Cholesterol is one of the bodies most needed substances. Too low and it causes so much grief. Liver makes it everyday otherwise we would not survive. Ditch the junk margarine with all the chemicals and go back to butter. Best there is no matter the cost

    Are pensions not enough? Recent study shows startling statistics about retirement

    Must admit we are doing okay but now wonderful. The pension is not keeping up with the cost of living. Anyone renting is behind the eight ball as well. Personal opinion, for anyone who has to rent there should be government housing both built and bought in much greater numbers solely for...

    Face value: New technology changes checkout game, but can face privacy hurdles Down Under

    Not sure on the makeup and aging but I sure do know it can be abused by organisations for their own gain. Also the two step authentication has worked so far. Sick of their overlord attitude

    Ask Joy: I think someone I know needs a little help.

    Okay I think you could go through your doctor. Get them to request an ACAT assessment. This is particularly if your health circumstances have changed. My husband had a stroke and he got an ACAT assessment before he left hospital and another one when he applied for aged care. I don't think there...

    Ask Joy: I think someone I know needs a little help.

    Actually this isn't quite accurate. I did the online questionnaire and I didn't qualify but I would if I got an ACAT assessment. Also the forget to tell you that some of us will pay a co payment if we have "earnings" including defence superannuation. This co payment in my husbands case is $70+...

    Is your beef contributing to deforestation? Woolies promises greener future with its bold pledge!

    The policy will cover fresh beef, paper, pulp, timber, palm oil, cocoa, and soy sold in its stores. So fresh beef is an issue. I see the rest as an issue. Cattle can graze on land not suitable to grow anything and keep the undergrowth down so there is less fires or less serious fires. All...

    Disease robs football legend of speech and self-care, leading to his death at 65

    This is so sad. And it seems the Parkinsons goes hand in hand with dementia in many cases. Head knocks we now know can cause to much damage but it doesn't rear it's ugly head till years later. I have my own opinions on causes and treatments but it needs to be dealt with quickly. We have to...

    The truth about supermarket meat that will make you want farm-to-plate today!

    No not true. The regenerative farming is the best. The animals graze on what they are supposed to eat. They can graze where you can't grow plants. Also there isn't a need for chemicals and the "poo" becomes the fertiliser for the soil. It also retains moisture in the soil when there is grazing...

    The truth about supermarket meat that will make you want farm-to-plate today!

    Agree, the cost is prohibitive for many. I'm the same I like to buy certain cuts not what comes in the box and when you make up your own box it's more expensive
