I’d like to know why a married person (with a spouse not quite pension age), is assessed as a full couple for the asset limits, but can only get paid half the couple pension. if You’re only getting paid half the pension then the assets should be halved as well. Should be paid single pension...

It’s a good idea but it needs to be clear. Not much point havinto the markers if you can’t see which one the water is at.

Where did you get it from? A block coloured one isn’t much use if you can’t see the level. The markings on the outside become invalid!

We aren’t in NSW but we already dont go to the doctor unless it’s absolutely necessary. Just can’t afford it. $30 out of pocket for every visit and if we both have issues its $60. healthcare is stuffed for low income earners in Australia.

I can understand a tantrum can be very trying for the parents. But how the parent reacts is what bothers me more. At a GP clinic trying to hear the receptionist from behind her Covid safe screen with a young child running up next to me and back again screaming his head off. Parents just sat...

Ours does, we get a whopping $10 discount😂😂😂😂

We live in the country and it’s not unusual to see a Facebook post about a missing dog that fell off the Ute somewhere between…. And …. . . We some that are tethered with a short chain on a thick rubber mat. Obviously those owners are more caring but we’d much rather see them inside the car or...

Get out of your seat and fake trip over his leg, keep bumping his foot with yours! Annoy him to the point of him keeping in his own space.

In rural towns cash is often not possible to get. Wanted to go to the local market, ATM was down for maintenance on a Saturday morning! when I questioned ANZ on the timing, they said they always do it when the banks are closed! Yeah, that makes a lot of sense! People are now going to...

Very few discounts if you live in the country. Tiny discount at Donut King and McDonalds.

I can’t remember the last time we bought steaks or lamb. It’s just too much of our tight budget. cereal is getting out of hand, Woolworths brand honey Corn flakes were $7 last time we shopped.
