    Crawl back under your rock, Beany. Most of us are smart enough to see you are a sycophant for Labor. They can do a lot. They just Nationalised Whyalla Steel with a lazy $2.4 BILLION pulled out of the skid-marks on Albo's undies. Labor is a lazy, out-of-touch yesterday's party that was...

    Do not vote GREENS. If you do, you are locking in Marxism. In 3 years they will have destroyed even what you have today. They want us on Digital ID, INDUE Card, and they supported the Misinformation and Disinformation Bill, and want to take away our Freedom of Speech. They put up Teela Reid and...

    That's ridiculous. It cost blood sweat and tears to get the right to vote, and you are foolishly advocating to vote informally. I have been a scrutineer at voting booths, and I can affirm that the correct numbhers for booths are posted. Votes are counted and the totals submitted and the forms...

    Make certain that neither Labor/Greens nor LNP get control of the Senate. Choose Libertarians, One Nation or Family First, or a decent Independent candidate. Last Federal elections this was the vote: Labor 33% Liberals 32% Others 35% So we are nearly there - we do have the capacity to bring...

    It just locks in a low base rate of pension payment. Next 6 month's increase will be paid as a percentage of the base rate that will be locked in on March 20th. If they gave us an $80/fortnight increase, it would only cover what my fortnightly rent went up by. Anything less means I am further...

    It's not April 1st. So this announcement should be placed in the Jokes and Funny Stories section of SDC. It's an embarrassment to not only the Labor people in charge of the economy, but to the so-called Opposition who think this can pass to the keeper. The Opposition should be ashamed to take...

    Getting closer ... but it's a tease ... have understood it by now. There are a dozen newbies lined up also with just one number to go! Was my birthday on Wednesday ... 5th day of 3rd month ... you'd think they'd have had some compassion ... but nooo! Note those two numbers ... the 5 and the 3...

    I'm on to your little game ... (Newby indeed!) But it doesn't seem to be bringing home the bickies yet. I'm kind of glad I'm not a financial member of this site - I can walk across the road to have a coffee (oh ... and a berry muffin) several times for what I would have spent on this !

    Welcome to Wild West Bingo, Shyamniketan. Sometimes things are not quite what they seem. You have a better chance of winning than most of us veteran players. |But don't just take my word for it. Experience the thrills for a few weeks.

    ‘Set to get worse’: Will a $2 billion boost fix Australia’s pensioner housing crisis?

Here's what I tried: TAKE IN A BOARDER Checked with R/E landlord, who said it was possible, but was I aware of the pitfalls? What happens if: * relationship with boarder sours after 3 weeks ... how do you get them out...

    ‘Set to get worse’: Will a $2 billion boost fix Australia’s pensioner housing crisis?

    I no longer vote for either of the Major parties and their minor party supporters. They have not deserved my support. Every time the govt flips from Labor-to-LNP and back again, nothing changes - they are still awarding themselves massive pay hikes (and don't give me that rot about the stupid...

    ‘Set to get worse’: Will a $2 billion boost fix Australia’s pensioner housing crisis?

    Vote for change. Neither Labor nor Liberals, Greens nor Nationals have shown they have any idea what's needed. They are out of touch with the mess they have created in the Welfare system, and nor do they care. Each election we get the same rhetoric ... that they will control inflation, bring...

At the end of the session everyone received a chocolate - winner or not. maybe one day there will be a...
