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

    The word frequent was used here as a verb and when used as a verb, "frequent" means to visit a place or place often, regularly, or habitually. It suggests a pattern of repeated visits, like being a regular customer or patron of a certain location. So the use in this post was quite correct.

    Garbo collectors are onto you: This bin day mistake can cost you $1,674!

    How many bins do they expect you to keep in your home to sort all this stuff before you take it outside to go in the wheely bin? Also, what are we expected to do with our hearing aid batteries? I definitely don't want them lying about the house but if I could ever get to the rubbish tip I...

    ‘They’re already struggling’: New changes to aged care spark fear among families

    Just because you are so capable of navigatiing the system as your post suggests, doesn't mean that others don't become scared of what life has for them as they age. I am s**t scared of what is going to happen to me if I end up being under this new scheme because they took so long to get the...

    ‘They’re already struggling’: New changes to aged care spark fear among families

    I have been assessed at Level 2 a.c. but have not received any funds yet. I am scared that when the funds do finally arrive I will be classified under the new system which is even worse financially than the current one. I have a copy of the documents which the service providers were issued &...

    No more paper fines: State reveals upcoming change in the way they file penalties

    My email is not for the use of businesses trying to cut their costs while I have to cover these costs by paying to have the internet connected, electricity to run my computer to look for their a/cs etc., having a printer to print out a hard copy for to pay the a/c using paper & ink & more...

    Calls for change in laws could reshape final moments for many

    I don't know what happened here but if she deliberately overdosed him with his medication then that is murder. Every state now allows assisted suicide or assisted murder in hospitals or under medical supervision & she should have taken the legal route.

    Calls for change in laws could reshape final moments for many

    And you shouldn't expect doctors & nurses to kill you. Think of the effect this will have on their mental health over the years they work in hospitals if they are required to administer drugs to kill their patients. As a former nurse I could never have participated in this without it causing...

    Coles responds to viral shelf discovery: 'Please don’t do it'—here’s why

    I do check for expiry dates on a lot of what I buy at the supermarket. Closer to expiry date usually at the front & new stuff at the back. And, yes, I want what I buy to have the longest life possible as I can't afford to throw away because the quality has deteriorated (as it does with spices)...

    This Bunnings parking change might cost you more than you think

    If I have to pay to go to Bunnings I will go back up the street to another hardware store. It is nearly impossible to go to Bunnings & not need your car to take your goods, which are usually large and/or bulky, home. I have to drive +2 hours to get to Bunnings & if they can't allow me time to...

    Veteran’s chilling prediction about Australia just came true—here’s why he’s furious

    We did not have ANZAC services at the school in my day. I don't think it is necessary for them to be held now. By all means teach the children about the efforts of our soldiers & the terrible number who died. I have no problem with that but if I had children at school & they were going to be...

    Calls for change in laws could reshape final moments for many

    I 100% agree with your Dr. They did not study to become a murderer which is what this "assisted dying" really is - murder.

    Experts predict price hikes–here’s why your next meat purchase could cost more

    Well, it won't affect my meat budget as I have not been able to afford red meat for about 5 years now. Chicken is so much cheaper & over the weekend I prepared 14 meals from 1 cooked chicken, froze them ready for when needed.

    'It's a very great threat': United States President Trump reveals tariffs amid 'Liberation Day' speech

    It looks like they are going to try to price gouge us because they have pretty much lost the US market. If anything, the price of beef should go down for us as there will be an increase in the supply available for sale in Australia.

    Genetically modified insects target health concerns, pending approval

    So we bring in another pest to control a pest already here just like we introduced cane toads which now can kill our native animals. Other imports which are pests include foxes & rabbits. Our scientists need to work on chemical or other non-invasive methods of killing mozzies.

    Australians face $96 million road menace hiding in plain sight

    So now if I travel in the state I can add deer to the other dangers on the road - kangaroos, emus, rabbits, pigs, foxes, wombats, goats & the occasional sheep or cow. Not much room left for cars through all those animals with the right to be on the road.

    Unexpected tactic raises concerns over personal information during election season

    I wish them luck sending me emails as I never open them. My local polly also sends snailmail which goes straight int he garbage. Waste of money. If they want to communicate with us why can't they come & visit the towns to see if there is anything needed in the area & explain what they have...
