Absolutely correct!!!

Not like this - it has reached epidemic proportions and has to be curbed. Judges should be tasked with mandatory sentencing for rape/ armed robbery and assault causing bodily harm. They should not have a choice! I agree with a farm environment for young offenders where they get taught skills and...

We were not moored to a bank so we paid mooring fees to have a mooring. They probably were moored to the bank if a tree fell on them. It is definitely cheaper to live on the water but only if you’re careful and don’t waste gas and water- you become very frugal and good at recycling. But you...

Probably yes - if they had the money to make it insurable, but don’t you think they would have if they could Our houseboat was home built and was definitely not insurable because it’s electrics we’re installed by us- very safe, never had a moments problem with them but totally uninsurable!

Wow I can’t believe how sanctimonious some people are - we know nothing of this poor couple’s story! Clearly they would love to be living in a ‘show home’ near the beach with all the mod cons AND insurance - but not everyone’s life is the same and they had a dream to live on the water in a boat...

Me too 🙏🏻

Having lived on a houseboat for many years myself, it is incredibly difficult to get insurance unless it’s a cookie cutter fibreglass boat that ticks all the insurers boxes. Most houseboats are often homebuilt with electrics and gas that are probably not perfectly done. Everything on a boat is...

I think it’s wrong to assume that if people are in debt that they are reckless and spendthrift- there are multiple reasons you go into debt for example unexpected medical bills that keep on mounting (Medicare covers less and less these days unless you’re in a hospital environment) your car can...

Can’t comment - don’t know enough about Planet Ark, however the islands of plastic is a thing and being dealt with quite well by ships that drag it in for recycling. Looking forward to the arrival of the bunny - got my carrots ready 😂

Well trash that statement then!

Exactly!

Why’s that?? Don’t they do good research?

Source of that fun fact??

I am happy for any increase however that works out to barely cover the cost of a piece of meat for a roast dinner for 2 at home and cooked yourself (not including the electricity which is on top) not super exciting . . .

Like that idea! Not sure if it’s true but very probably is.

With respect coconut water is not crap! It’s quite healthy if you’re not diabetic as it has some natural sugars. Very hydrating and a good alternative to milk in a smoothie Your decision not to buy it doesn’t make it crap okay.

Absolutely- the fault for this lies with them and it appears they have already received warnings from the ACMA! Looks like they have ignored them or this recent case shouldn’t have happened. Not much we can do in this case- everything is geared towards electronic everything - for the...

If I could get work I would much rather do that, but nobody wants to employ a 76 year old- I worked until age 74 but sadly have not by able to find any kind of work since then

That’s really terrible news, I’m so sad to hear this There are DV shelters and support groups who might be able to shortcut your waiting times and give you some guidance on how to work through the system. This link seems to be Australia wide and has some pretty good links in it too...

If it helps you can do that through your myGov account, if you’re not sure how to do it try finding someone at a community centre to help you do it - you will get in trouble if you don’t- you have to do it in 14 days
