    Major shake-up coming! What Australia Post’s latest move means for you

    I send birthday cards to my family and friends. The time the letter takes to arrive has decreased. I always allow extra time but there has been no need to. I was speaking to my cousin in Sydney who works for a Barrister. They are now sending important documents through using priority mail...

    Massive payment shift pushes millions toward cashless society

    Cash ensures our freedom. I will continue to use cash for my shopping and continue to avoid credit card purchases. Behind the scenes, government have brought in a digital card identity which we voted against last century. This is despicable and I fear the control the government will have if...

    Government announces additional energy rebate for households! Here's how you can benefit from it

    This is a complete and utter joke. That money has to come from somewhere and it will come from we the people. Electricity needs to be cheaper to start with. We need to own our own electricity companies (as we once did ETSA). This green energy is costing us more not less. We need to bring...

    ‘It is a very close race’: New poll reveals a shocking election twist

    I totally agree with you. Previous governments have sold off everything we once owned. We had a manufacturing industry. We had cheap oil and gas. There is absolutely no scientific proof that carbon dioxide drives global warming. We are just being conned. Our farming land is being sold off...

    ‘It is a very close race’: New poll reveals a shocking election twist

    I did send a link but for some unknown reason it is on page 2 of this information. I encourage you to read it.

    ‘It is a very close race’: New poll reveals a shocking election twist

    This is worth reading. It is not about a specific party but about what we can do to try and stop the people we dislike being voted in. https://lateralinsights.com.au

    ‘It is a very close race’: New poll reveals a shocking election twist

    I totally agree with you. Perhaps we need to look at some of the independents to try and keep the others honest.

    John Masefield was the poet. I always liked this one: Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir, Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine, With a cargo of ivory, And apes and peacocks, Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine. Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus, Dipping through...

    Australians' tax dealings are about to change soon. See what the ATO is changing

    I was receiving a benefit from the government which I wanted to stop. It was impossible to do it using mygov. They paid me although I had written a letter some 6 months prior. I went to Centrelink armed with cash, my cheque book and a credit card to pay the small amount of money back. They...

    Australians' tax dealings are about to change soon. See what the ATO is changing

    This is the ID card that Australia rejected last century. It is supposedly optional. However, we shall see. By joining up, this will ensure that government has complete control over what we do. May God help us all.

    No More Flies and Mozzies

    While speaking about mint, we had ants in our pantry. There was no trail anywhere. My husband even went up into the ceiling to try and see where they were coming from. Needless to say, we still don't know. But I had some mint essence which would have been used many years ago for mint flavour...

    Over 1,000 affected! Government admits massive welfare blunder—are you at risk?

    What a dreadful thing to happen to you. I fear for our future. Most government departments are now corporations and not even owned by Australians. Our Lands, Titles Office is owned by a Canadian Company I know for a fact as our Labor Politician confirmed it.

    Over 1,000 affected! Government admits massive welfare blunder—are you at risk?

    It was Labor's answer to the Australia Card which we all rejected last century. Although many of us did try to stop it going through, they just did it anyway. You can see the beginnings of advertisements on television trying to sweet talk us into it. George Christensen and Citizen Go have a...

    Major bank rolls out sophisticated security update, impacting millions: 'We can't stand still'

    That is a very good question. I hope you don't have to purchase a phone in order to do your banking.

    Major bank rolls out sophisticated security update, impacting millions: 'We can't stand still'

    This has already been tested out on me. The message said that I had logged into an unknown computer and to go into my app to prove it was me. I thought it was a scam as I always log into that computer which I have done for a number of years. In fact, I hate using apps. I feel that they are...

    ‘Now I am focused on my recovery’: Former Australian of the Year faces major health battle

    I agree with you. I believe that cancer is caused by the body not being able to eliminate the toxins we receive in our food, from our water and the air. Why add more in the form of chemotherapy in the hope that they will work. Yes for some people, it may but in my experience, it doesn't...

    Over 1,000 affected! Government admits massive welfare blunder—are you at risk?

    An Identity Card was rushed through parliament last year that most people don't know about. How many more Government failures will cause us all angst?
