    One million retirees could be missing out on huge savings—are you one of them?

    There's always a price premium for certain drugs to ALL card holders. Still, you're getting cheaper meds and reach the safety net at $270 odd. Also get greater benefits if you have a lot of gap bills for medical.

    One million retirees could be missing out on huge savings—are you one of them?

    Because you clearly have ample income and/or assets to fund your lives, hence no age pension.

    One million retirees could be missing out on huge savings—are you one of them?

    Worthless? So you don't get cheaper scripts, reduced rates, car rego, cheaper doctor fees, cheaper xrays, MRIs, etc?

    See how new bank fees could drain your account with every withdrawal!

    Profits are good, a strong banking system is good. Should the government control the Banks? We live in a capitalistic economy, you can live in North Korea, you'd have something to complain about.

    Are the new seatbelt fines fair? Drivers say the system is flawed and it's costing them big

    No it doesn't take more than a phone call. As I said people try to get out of fines. They see the image, they think it doesn't look like an offence so phone the Revenue people, they look at the original image and it can be plainly seen an offence has occurred. Don't believe everything you read...

    Yes, there's no set distance or time in the road rules as every driver and vehicle is different.

    Migration has been going on since after WW2, this is nothing new, only the media hype makes it seem that way.

    Aussie Government rolls out massive road change in a few weeks. Is it time to say goodbye to your car?

    It says 3 seconds, you can't have 15 metres (3 car lengths), that may be okay for driving around slowly in the city, no where near enough when going 110 kph. You need 18 car lengths at the speed.

    Aussie Government rolls out massive road change in a few weeks. Is it time to say goodbye to your car?

    One car length?????? OMG, please get further instruction from a certified driving instructor, one car length is pointless unless crawling along. 3 seconds is recommended, that's 90 metres at 110 kph or 18 car lengths. 18 car lengths at 110. The gap should be greater as the speed increases, and...

    Clearly you do not understand how this works, stop living in a paranoid delusion that the government is out to get you, total rubbish.

    Are the new seatbelt fines fair? Drivers say the system is flawed and it's costing them big

    Oh dear........there's always people who will not admit to being at fault. The photo that issues to you is black and white in low resolution, often hard to see the detail. The photos they have can be coloured and will be in high definition, they can see the offence. People just can't admit...

    If it's near the neck it's still legal and works.

    Aussie Government rolls out massive road change in a few weeks. Is it time to say goodbye to your car?

    The road toll will still be growing??? You take too much notice of the media hype. The road toll peaked in 1970, since than it has been in a downward trend. NSW had the same death numbers in 2023 2024, with population increase that's an improved result. VIC has had a reduction in deaths last...

    Huh??? Drive as you normally do and if that's safe you'll never see this in action, I've had mine for 8 years, 180,000kms and it's never activated.

    Yet the road toll is in a downtrend since 1970. NSW and VIC have had good year last year.
