    Mr Dutton also supported the Misinformation and Disinformation Bill - his Party actually wrote the draft before Labor got in. And the Digital ID Bill was supported by LNP too. As far as I am concerned, they (duopoly parties) are non-starters. We need the Independents and freedom parties like...

    Hey Chief - settle down. Can't you allow someone to express an opinion against pseudo-journalism? I didn't step on your bunions, so give me some space. Who made you the judge around here? That's MY job!! :D :D

    You won't be forced to go on it. But you won't get paid until you do. But like working during covid, you won't have to take the injection ... but say goodbye to your job. That happened to me. I was forced to retire and go on aged pension. You won't be forced to have a digital ID - it is totally...

    Crawl back under your rock, Beany. Most of us are smart enough to see you are a sycophant for Labor. They can do a lot. They just Nationalised Whyalla Steel with a lazy $2.4 BILLION pulled out of the skid-marks on Albo's undies. Labor is a lazy, out-of-touch yesterday's party that was...

    Do not vote GREENS. If you do, you are locking in Marxism. In 3 years they will have destroyed even what you have today. They want us on Digital ID, INDUE Card, and they supported the Misinformation and Disinformation Bill, and want to take away our Freedom of Speech. They put up Teela Reid and...

    That's ridiculous. It cost blood sweat and tears to get the right to vote, and you are foolishly advocating to vote informally. I have been a scrutineer at voting booths, and I can affirm that the correct numbhers for booths are posted. Votes are counted and the totals submitted and the forms...

    Make certain that neither Labor/Greens nor LNP get control of the Senate. Choose Libertarians, One Nation or Family First, or a decent Independent candidate. Last Federal elections this was the vote: Labor 33% Liberals 32% Others 35% So we are nearly there - we do have the capacity to bring...

    It just locks in a low base rate of pension payment. Next 6 month's increase will be paid as a percentage of the base rate that will be locked in on March 20th. If they gave us an $80/fortnight increase, it would only cover what my fortnightly rent went up by. Anything less means I am further...

    It's not April 1st. So this announcement should be placed in the Jokes and Funny Stories section of SDC. It's an embarrassment to not only the Labor people in charge of the economy, but to the so-called Opposition who think this can pass to the keeper. The Opposition should be ashamed to take...

    Getting closer ... but it's a tease ... have understood it by now. There are a dozen newbies lined up also with just one number to go!

    I'm on to your little game ... (Newby indeed!) But it doesn't seem to be bringing home the bickies yet. I'm kind of glad I'm not a financial member of this site - I can walk across the road to have a coffee (oh ... and a berry muffin) several times for what I would have spent on this !

    ‘Set to get worse’: Will a $2 billion boost fix Australia’s pensioner housing crisis?

Here's what I tried: TAKE IN A BOARDER Checked with R/E landlord, who said it was possible, but was I aware of the pitfalls? What happens if: * relationship with boarder sours after 3 weeks ... how do you get them out...
