    Australians are paying double for essentials—here’s what the government is doing about it

    More Government control is not the answer and smells of a failure to understand cost realities and also ignores the result of the recent Voice referendum. it is nothing but a political move destined to lose him votes. The delivery cost to such remote areas is much, much higher than to a local...

    Aussies, beware: Expert warns Trump's tariffs could spell disaster for your wallet

    That is a bit of a stretch don’t you think. Trump hasn’t killed anyone yet except Suleimani and terrorists which we all wanted done Anyway. Still waiting for Albo to step down and get someone else to negotiate from what appears to me to be a strong position. Surplus, Northern base etc.

    Cash at risk? Seniors groups reveal shocking truth behind new mandate

    Yes, but cash is legal tender and they have no right to refuse cash payment. There are more people( voters) than businesses so it should be plain to any political party that backing cash is a winner.

    Cash at risk? Seniors groups reveal shocking truth behind new mandate

    This is typical of this Government. They are always half cocked in anything they do. Cash is and should remain legal tender and businesses should jump in the lake.

    Aussies, beware: Expert warns Trump's tariffs could spell disaster for your wallet

    First of all Scott Pape is well known as a Leftie and I have expressed it to him before. He suffers with self aggrandisement. Yes tariffs imposed will create significant problems for Australia and others but he is looking after his own. When the USA has a big trade surplus with Australia and we...

    Major deal keeps bank branches open—what it means for communities

    Well said. Life experience counts too. Working as an advisor to politicians and being a politician hardly qualifies for real life experience. Albo is even worst .

    Major deal keeps bank branches open—what it means for communities

    First of all Bachelor of Arts is a very low rating degree and yes we know he is well qualified to be a politician and I don’t think that rates positively with people/ voters. I more than match his “financial” qualifications but qualifications aren't required for such a decision. All one needs is...

    Major deal keeps bank branches open—what it means for communities

    Every promise coming up to an election is subject to some doubt when it comes to implementation after it. Remember too that there is a cost at Austpost outlets and Banks don’t like paying for others to do their work. The more the Government keeps making promises just before an election the more...

    Federal Government boosts healthcare budget amid calls for reforms

    So you have outed yourself. Obviously a Communist. You missed the point. Every $ going into Health is good but where were they over the last 3 plus years. Instead of concentrating on health including hospital improvements they gave preference in the Budget to solar panels and wind turbines...

    Federal Government boosts healthcare budget amid calls for reforms

    You cannot help yourself. Hospitals have been struggling throughout this Government’s term but it is only now that they allegedly care enough to try to fix the problem. Why is it so? I will answer that. It is election time and polls are not that favourable. People, don’t be fooled. It takes time...

    Could this be the end of skyrocketing power bills? The government’s latest plan explained

    This is unfair for apartment dwellers. They almost never have solar panels in the building therefore this is discriminatory as usual from this Government which comes up with these proposals approaching an election. However the most important point I want to make is that this is really coming out...

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

    As usual you portray this in a pro Labor slant. You can’t help yourself. This will not affect 99.99% of Centrelink recipients only those who spend their money on alcohol and substance abuse depriving their family from food etc. You quote a saving of $290 m over 4 years as though it is nothing...

    Could banning fast food ads be the key to a healthier future? This move sparks debate

    Once again freedom of the people is taken away. You see, according to them( the lefties) they are responsible for your good health. They know better and will make sure that you cannot decide. It is funny how easily governments take the role of decision making for individuals and the parents are...
