    Retirees are outraged by new changes that could leave them without enough income

    I agree with you about the NDIS charging rates. I know someone with no aged care qualifications, just an abn and police check etc. who gets $60 an hour for taking people on outings. Totally unfair on those who have studied to get where they are.

    Mum's unusual Aussie food combo goes viral – would you give it a, um… go?

    Give salt & vinegar chips a wiz in the blender and they are great as a coating for chicken legs or schnitzels. NOT ON FINGER BUNS THOUGH. Couldn't imagine anything worse!

    Online seller warns others to be cautious about a new Facebook Marketplace scam

    I've never had a problem with FB Marketplace. Maybe it's because I live in the hills in a lovely little community.

    Paying out of pocket for GP consultations - worth the cost or fattening doctors’ wallets?

    I am a pensioner and my GP still bulk bills but I am going to have to pay a gap fee for the "allied health visits" that come with a GP plan. The strange thing is that these visits to the physio and podiatrist are going to be bulk billed for disability pensioners but not old age pensioners. I...

    Aphantasia - Could you have this little known condition too?

    I have this but I haven't lost the ability to recognise faces or things! I read that the condition can get worse with age. I always thought it had something to do with a lack of "imagination" and this is why I can draw from a photograph but not from my "mind's eye".

    Woolworths truck driver’s ‘amateur’ behaviour caught on camera - do you think he was in the wrong?

    Since I drove a motorhome I have become more aware of hazards with mirrors not always reflecting all traffic behind. If you can't see their mirrors they can't see you.
