    Commonwealth Seniors Health Card: Are You Missing Out on Cost‑of‑Living Relief?

    Thanks, straightforward if you don't have super, but even tho I'm receiving a Trans to Retire pension to top up my wage (working casual), I have no idea how much the income/return is from my super in terms of %pa or $ per yr returned- & even if i did, is the figure required for Clink or card...

    Car insurance prices surge as drivers across states hit with shocking hikes

    Rogres rip us all off without hesitation, but try making a claim from any of them & see how hard it is! Glad I just drive old bombs & cheaper insurance. RACV have been good (multi policy discount), but Vic govt is the worst at ripping us off at every angle they can - disgusting!

    Retired but still working? Here’s what you need to know about how it affects your Age Pension

    Well i guess the more of us contributing to the tax system, the more $ to fund govt's ridiculously high & unaffordable immigration stats & over inflated politicians wages & perks (not to mention younger generations sometimes seeming/apparent lack of interest in working the jobs & hours we've...

    A bit like supermarkets, utility providers, phone/internet providers & probably many other big business/wealthy companies, politicians, court system, etc! Working class have no hope of getting ahead when there's so many legalised sharks robbing us blind at every opportunity & no one prepared...

    Retired but still working? Here’s what you need to know about how it affects your Age Pension

    I'm not pension age yet & still enjoy working & haven't had to deal with Clink thank goodness, but I'm absolutely dreading it - not just due to the complexity alone, but because if I chose to continue to work after 67yo I don't trust the Clink reporting system (I'm hearing so many stories about...

    Retired but still working? Here’s what you need to know about how it affects your Age Pension

    It should not be like this! Pension should be adequate, just like it once used to be! Older generation tax payers shouldn't be punished for govt mismanagement & waste! Seems we paying more & more tax & other levies, fees, charges, etc (silent expenses) & get less & less (or next to nothing...

    Renters are torn over decisions about their rented property. Are you facing the same dilemma, too?

    I've lived regionally most of my life & prices have soared but blaming covid is a cop out, - lack of ssupply because of demand pushes up rentals/property values & 500,000 new immigrants per year (since covid) need a lot of places to live! Current govt has caused this housing issue & now expect...

    These homes are becoming a top choice for seniors! Would you live here?

    Denvelopes marketing tactics, the more they sell, the wealthier the developers become! I couldn't think of anywhere worse to live (unless it was in China) I'm staying in my meagre old $400k home in a country town near the sea til I turn up my toes thanks

    Retiring But Not Relaxing: Australia’s Age Pension Maze

    Agree, tho I'm certainly not a conspiracy theorist! But even if I wasn't sharing my opinions during covid for fear of that label, I didn't have to believe what the masses believed & now I just sit back & watch the outspoken ones back track post covid, especially in Vic where the debt from it...

    Hackers breach 184 million accounts—act now to protect yours

    Apparent I read somewhere (possibly here in SDN) that apparently in some other countries there are major penalties for companies not doing enough to protect customers data sufficiently & that is why Australia is a target for scammers/hackers

    Retiring But Not Relaxing: Australia’s Age Pension Maze

    Can't help wondering if the govt's lack of assistance these times (like huge land tax increases, fire levies & other taxes, immigration numbers, failing Medicare system, food prices at supermarkets increasing sharply & nothing done about it, etc) is all part of their plan to sneakily try to...

    ‘Ludicrous and unfair’: Older workers speak out on retirement age changes

    Disgraceful! They are already doing enough damage with land tax & fire/emergency services levy greedy money grab in Vic! The national debt is the result/fault of careless government, not the fault of 67yo+ prospective retires! And of course these careless, greedy pollies won't apply the same...
