No way. At my age my driving days are in their twilight years but I will stick with my 2011 toyota corolla with only 48K on the clock and it has never missed a beat due to servicing and only driving locally. It will see us out and our annual petrol bill is under $600 usually. The idea of an...

Is it located with the cheeses or in another part of store?

As far as I know everyone will get a total of $700 made up of a State amount and a Federal Amount.

I only use credit card...so far so good.

We pay .24 per kWh the reason being is that volunteers in the Village read the meter and I think we get a special rate.

If you are a self funded retiree and live in a RAAF retirement village here in WA you will have to fill in a form by going to the Finance Dept web site. The form to do so will not be available online until 31July. How do I know? Because I sent an email to the Finance dept and was told this...

Yes you are right and I do hope they do not follow suit.

In our RAAF village we pay $36.95 per month....wonder if there will be a rise. Even so I do not expect to pay anything like those mentioned above. It is a local Perth company so hope it does not get absorbed into one of the larger ones.

If you are say size 12....take more than one size 12 into the change room. Especially if you are looking for a larger waist band on a pair of slacks. As someone said when they cut the fabric the ones on the bottom of the pile will be different to the first couple.

If you live in a retirement village where you are NOT billed directly (the village is billed and we pay the village) you have to apply. We have had to do this two years in a row and it is a pain in the neck. Have to provide a copy of our power bill as at 30th June and prove we live here...

You are correct. As long as you are paying for electricity you will get the $300 $400 + $700. I think people are getting confused with "Energy Rebate" and "Energy Concession"....two different things

How do we know the frog was not "put" there?

I will be 80 next year and my husband 90 but I do everything from managing finances, chauffeur, cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc ....there are many others like myself. Heaven help us if I get sick or get dementia like he has. We chose to save and became fully self funded. I often wonder if...

Thankfully I live in WA where our power is not privatised.

I receive the paltry amount of $153.50 per fortnight for caring for my husband. It would cost the government a darn sight more if he was put into care. I receive a Carer's Allowance not a Carer's Pension.

If you have been to Tennant Creek you would know...I have!

Absolutely correct you can go to Post Office and when our only Bankwest closes in Mandurah, a thriving town south of Perth, the line at the Post Office will get even longer than it is currently.

Once I would have liked visiting China but in view of recent developments; where you can get arrested and thrown in jail for nothing.....there is no way I would set foot there now.

Agree. People need to use what is between their ears a bit more!
