    The Baby-Sitters Club novels

    My parents would wrap Christmas presents the same for my older brother and I. One year he talked me into opening a present from under the tree. He had been asking for a boat to go fishing in and I don’t even remember what I wanted that year. We opened the presents and he had a toy boat, I had a...

    Massive cut on 500 tariffs could save Aussies money and reduce household expenses

    100%. I see my parents struggling with their mortgage that should have been paid off years ago. My dad is a Vietnam Veteran and if his payments are increased even by a few cents, my mum’s age pension is cut by dollars! My mum was a nurse for over 40 years until her health deteriorated. Dad was...

    Is the era of smoking coming to an end with this new legislation? Tobacco industry set for a seismic shift!

    100% agreed. We are treated worse than lepers for smoking. By being a conscious person who won’t smoke near others, indoors and I too carry my own little ashtray, can they not see it’s our pockets their excess tax comes from and we aren’t drinking and driving or drinking and getting violent or...

    Massive cut on 500 tariffs could save Aussies money and reduce household expenses

    I was watching a YouTuber that my partner follows (because he was going to adopt another dog, wouldn’t watch it otherwise 😂) and he and his wife needed to drive from south London up to Wales. The Tesla he was driving didn’t even last the distance the company claimed it does. It fell about 100km...

    Massive cut on 500 tariffs could save Aussies money and reduce household expenses

    It won’t even save consumers on sanitary products! They’ll just keep the prices up anyway and keep the profits

    Massive cut on 500 tariffs could save Aussies money and reduce household expenses

    Complete joke. The big companies won’t care. How about the government fixes the pension issues. How are politicians so stupid??

    Oh my floof!! Now Prince William is under fire for only visiting Catherine once?? Obviously his extra duties from his father’s illness and 3 young children mean nothing! Grrr

    Brain tumour survivor slams Centrelink after support payments cut off mid-recovery

    They always have people who have no idea of the hardship us ‘commoners’ are facing! Some time ago, they had politicians trying to live on a measly $40 a day as an experiment. They stated it couldn’t be done! I honestly wonder how much they used the ‘golden’ credit cards that day as well. Since...

    Brain tumour survivor slams Centrelink after support payments cut off mid-recovery

    And driving around in their 4WD bmws, etc. when my $800 car sits dead on my lawn while I’m scrimping and saving the $1500 to get it fixed. I know it would be easier to replace it but because I’m only on DSP, I can’t get a loan. They won’t even approve me for a NILs loan.

    Brain tumour survivor slams Centrelink after support payments cut off mid-recovery

    Thanks for the tip however I have seen staff in the office direct clients to online services, using the computers in the offices. It’s been suggested to me a few times as well and when I’ve brought up that I had uploaded them they tell me to do it again. It’s frustrating for me, let alone people...

    I still have a request for rental documents that I provided from 4 years ago! I've moved 6 times since then and each address has been updated. The staff in Centrelink only refer you to uploading your documents to your online account, which don't get processed in the necessary time. They system...

    Princess’s absence fuels speculation: ‘Everything that’s been happening is weird’

    the silence may be her way of stepping out of the limelight so King Charles’ condition is the main focus. Princess Kate has always been respectful of her in-laws, despite her and Prince William having their own ‘normal’ life. It has been noted she won’t be back until after Easter, so why the...
