    Discover how Peter Dutton's latest Centrelink proposal could affect your benefits!

    Wrong. It will be COMPULSORY for ALL Centrelink recipients. That has already been stated. They tried that last time but luckily the motion to extend the card to pensioners was defeated in the Senate because of some of the Independent senators voting against it. Otherwise, you would be on it...

    Discover how Peter Dutton's latest Centrelink proposal could affect your benefits!

    Plus what a lot of people may not be aware of is that funds were not even held in an Australian bank! They were held by the Bank of America!!! Indue (the company administering the card) banked overseas. If you wanted Indue to allow you access to your funds that were not part of the 20% paid into...

    Discover how Peter Dutton's latest Centrelink proposal could affect your benefits!

    No it doesn't ... it INCREASES crime in the area. I have friends who live in the Bundaberg area and because access to their payment in cash was stopped there were a LOT more muggings, house robberies and general theft.

    Discover how Peter Dutton's latest Centrelink proposal could affect your benefits!

    He definitely has pensioners in mind too. The last LNP government were extending it to pensioners as well but luckily it was defeated in the Senate and then the election took place and they didn't have the chance to put it before them again as they were voted out.

    Struggling to make ends meet? Upcoming Centrelink boost still not enough for Aussies

    LOL no point getting into a discussion with someone who is as politically ignorant as you and who just swallows the media garbage like a hungry waif would food! You are not worth discussing the situation with as you are not smart enough to realise what the media is feeding you is garbage ... I...

    Wash Your Cheese Before Eating It? Here's the Surprising Reason Health Experts Insist You Should!

    Just grate your own … the shredded goes mouldy quickly even with the coating. The coating changes the melting ability and the taste of the cheese too much.

    Struggling to make ends meet? Upcoming Centrelink boost still not enough for Aussies

    What a load of unmitigated hogwash!!! Do you really want Dutton in as he will do nothing for pensioners except force us all onto the Cashless Debit Card ... and YES that IS his intention.

    Struggling to make ends meet? Upcoming Centrelink boost still not enough for Aussies

    Not true at all. DSP is increased at the same rate and at the same time as AGE pensions.

    Wash Your Cheese Before Eating It? Here's the Surprising Reason Health Experts Insist You Should!

    Because pre-shredded cheese is coated in cellulose to stop it from sticking to itself in the packet you could wash this coating off. Personally, I much prefer to grate my own and therefore there is no need to rinse anything. On the very rare occasions I have had to use pre-shredded cheese I have...

    Iconic brand shuts down after 120 years in ‘ultra-competitive’ industry

    What a load of codswallop trying to blame the government for a Canadian company's business decision. I love their products, too, but there are many good dairy products at a lower price point, and that is important these days.

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

    Sadly these cookers just like to spread disinformation and couldn't care less about their own safety, let alone that of the rest of the community. They deserve to be totally ignored and shunned.

    TV host Larry Emdur speaks out for the first time after stalking ordeal

    Are people really stupid enough to believe what these magazines publish? The media are just a pack of liars and spreaders of misinformation and disinformation ... I thought we had woken up to that by now.

    Big issue with Coles and Woolworths that baffles millions of customers!

    I would say it is because they are not very strong. Coles no longer charges by the bag for delivery orders .... thank heavens! It is a flat fee for paper bags of $1.50 per order.

    Big issue with Coles and Woolworths that baffles millions of customers!

    I was waiting for the "I always take my own" comments ... those of us who need, for mobility reasons, to shop online can't do that. Our orders are delivered in those bags and we have no say in the matter. So YES it DOES affect a large proportion of shoppers.

    Royal insider reports King Charles III's situation throughout their summer holiday: 'Things can go wrong very fast'

    If you knew anything about Royal titles you would know that a Queen Consort does not have the constitutional power of the King but her title is still Queen ... just as the Queen Mother was addressed as Queen Elizabeth during her husband, King George VI's, reign. The reason Prince Phillip was...

    Unless you have a degree in immunology then your opinion is as useful as "mammary glands on a male bovine". I am not the stupid one ... I haven't been brainwashed by Dr Google Von YouTube!
