    Proposed Medicare reforms spark discussions online. Can these proposals help Aussie seniors' healthcare concerns?

    Good luck if Dutton is elected to the BIG SEAT and ENJOY, he will do nothing to support you, you are living in a fool`s paradise. He showed no interest in pensioners while in the position of Health Minister (unless you were well healed) and could pay for private health insurance, he was planing...

    Aussie mum’s terrifying ordeal reveals shocking insurance gap

    I`m not a scientist, so cannot comment on what is going on with climate change. Australia has always been a land of floods, fires and heat. It`s a lose, lose, situation when consumers can not afford to pay for insurance to cover their homes, properties, cars etc. And yet they suffer when things...

    Clorox hit with $8.25 million fine for misleading green claims—what you need to know

    Its hard to know if the manufacturer is not disclosing accurate information. I think most people are trying to do what they can environmentally. It facinates me that the large supermarkets and other retailers are still packaging in plastic, while the customers are required to use recycled bags...

    Aussies sue aged care provider over claims of mistreatment and broken promises

    Most Aged care faciliies are privately owned, so they expect to make a profit. They charge large sums of money as well. This means at the cost of resources for their clients. Although some look good and promise the world I know of many poor outcomes for elderly who are placed in their care...

    Is this 'people power' at work? Major bank reverses initial decision over regional branches

    I don`t use online banking, it has been inconvenient when branches go missing. I like the hands on approach and don`t quite trust online banking. The closure of banks was a cost cutting measure and mean`t that many employees lost their jobs. This was also done without consultation of consumers...

    Aussie politician faces multiple charges of assault. What happened?

    He is realy a criminal, presenting as a good family man and pillar of the community, and behind closed doors, this behaviour is going on. I wonder how many other upstanding figures are Jekyll & Hydes. I won`t become too political on this topic, but there was a fair share of this in the previous...

    Council members argue over 'cheeky' campaign advert on public spaces

    Very clever, she didn`t damage anything , she did highlight the dirty footpath and road. Why don`t the council keep the roads and footpaths clean?.
