    Financial relief or stress? Here's what the Reserve Bank of Australia's decision could mean for seniors

    It amuses me that when the interest rates go up the most banks increase their rates immediately and yet as the interest rates go down most of the banks are slower taking at least ten days to decrease the interest rates. While there may be exceptions to this, I believe most of the banks seem to...

    Nurse’s misconduct in front of vulnerable elderly patient exposed: 'He knew what he was doing'

    Words fail me when the trust in so called health professionals in broken. Taking advantage of vulnerable people is unforgivable. I believe these so-called medical professionals who break the trust of their patients should have their medical licenses revoked permanently and they should face jail...

    A man's jaw-dropping find in a secret women's safety group on Facebook will leave you stunned!

    Making unfounded and false accusations against anyone can leave the person who posted them in some legal hot water. Making a false or misleading accusation against a person is slander and can end up in the law courts. Online sites give the false premises of anonymity. Anyone can be traced if...

    Shopper shares lesser-known money-saver rule at her local hardware store!

    We aways photocopy the receipt and staple it to the original receipt with the warranty together. That way there is no disputing the receipt if the original starts to fade. Keeping everything together in a clear plastic sleeve and folder, there is less chance of losing anything if you ever need...

    Shopper shares lesser-known money-saver rule at her local hardware store!

    I had a welder go wrong after twelve months of use. When I took the welder back to the Bunnings the item was no longer available, so they gave me the next model up for no extra cost. Very happy with the return policy.

    'It's no worse than whisky': Colombian President shocks the world with his latest statement!

    Thank you for confirming what I have said with regards to substance abuse. As I have said I doubt that a gambler could hurt themselves by gambling apart from perhaps a sore arm using a poker machine pull lever all afternoon. What a gambler does outside of physically gambling is a different...

    ‘Not in the spirit of sport’: Peter Dutton backs bold new stance in explosive interview

    I refuse to believe that a simple cup of coffee would cause someone to fail a drug test. I think that there may be more to that story than the athlete is willing to admit to. Unless the athlete was setup, given caffeine deliberately without their knowledge so they would fail the drug test.

    'It's no worse than whisky': Colombian President shocks the world with his latest statement!

    Drug abuse can become addictive, and that addiction can lead to an overdose, because a drug addict needs more of the drug over time to get the same high. This in turn can make a drug addict overdose, and this can kill a drug addict. I am do not believe that gambling addiction in itself can do a...

    ‘Not in the spirit of sport’: Peter Dutton backs bold new stance in explosive interview

    I have not read the ASDA website regarding sports enhancing drugs. However as far as I am concerned, they should be banned. I do not believe that it is in any way fair on athletes who wish to compete in any sport based on their athletic ability and not with drugs to enhance their ability. In my...

    ‘Not in the spirit of sport’: Peter Dutton backs bold new stance in explosive interview

    I am not being sucked into anything and It is not the point. Drugs that are enhancing sports achievements, trans gender athletes are all examples of so-called athletes cheating to gain awards that they do not deserve. Sport enhancing drugs are banned in sports competitions such as Olympics. I am...

    'It's no worse than whisky': Colombian President shocks the world with his latest statement!

    You are talking substance abuse/ addiction, not mental health issues related to gambling, theft or any other non-substance abuse related issues. I will reiterate what I said. I think that there is a big difference between nicotine, alcohol and substances such as heroin. Not everyone who smokes...

    ‘Not in the spirit of sport’: Peter Dutton backs bold new stance in explosive interview

    Transgender athletes competing in women's sports is nothing more than cheating. If a person wishes to compete in a sport, then compete against people of your own age and gender. The absurdity of allowing a biological male to compete fairly against female athletes is ridiculous. We segregate male...
