I also volunteered for Meals on Wheels for 5years+. The meals were great, lots of choices and no complaints. We were allowed to keep any leftover meals. They had a choice of soups, main meals and desserts. The selection of meals changed every fortnight and customers were given the meal plan 2...

Too late for me. My payment increased to $5 and ended up with a Blog account. No $5 refund yet and do not expect it. In the meantime it appears I am paying $4.95 per fortnight till they close account. I will be blocking my card.

I agree with you. Centrelink has not looked at all welfare recipients. Correct me if i am wrong but other recipients from overseas have to wait 2 years before they can claim welfare, BUT then not many try to get jobs either, our welfare system needs a bloody good shakeup.

I was working on a NT community as a manager in the general store when the first cashless debit card was introduced in 2007. Yes all hell broke out, not happy, and we were accused of keeping their money. It all settled down after a couple of months and the women accepted it quicker that the men...

Every time SA hits a headline for anything GOOD we get slammed by eastern states. Well suck it up!!

Well, what shadow were you living under. I live in SA and at 70 on a pension still learning about concessions I can receive. All the above you mention are available, which I receive, except for council rates which were replaced with "cost of living" payment. :)

Debjane is correct about the "mens' tissues." They were in a red & black box and extra large. Once I found them I bought them because normal tissues were so small. Good grief we still have people who like to read into things about the good old tissue. Grow up.

IF I was to win a huge Lotto I would gladly give up my pension........how many people who are pensioners who have been so lucky, given up their pension. Even declared such a thing!!!!!!!!

I was once like you working hard thinking of retirement..........well I am now RETIRED on the pension and now understand the "grizzlies" as you put us, We did willingly give our tax for our future.

Here in Sth Aust I have found the milk I like. Drakes are the only supermarket now selling it, but it tastes like proper milk. It is the Fleurieu Milk Co Jersey Premium, Unhomogenised with lots of natural full ceam on top. Brings back the days I spent on my uncles' farm as a kid and drinking...

I will give it a try too. I have liked quite a few of the new ones over time, the favourites I liked are no longer on the shelves.
