The Age Pension used to be a third of an average man's wage - then some smart a#$e decided to adapt it to inflation, which I recall meant it was cents per fortnight two years in a row, a move I believe was started by Howard, who then used what had not been spent on welfare as bribes of a one off...

Very true, I have had the same amount of UK pension since I had to claim it here, it would have risen if I could have left it for a few years but that's not allowed here, if you are eligible you must make the claim when you reach pension age here. I know of two women who reached UK pension age...

Yep, now they beat them to death.

It affects any payments you might get by working if it takes you over the allowed amount.

Can't see the point of bringing it up again now when the man is dead. I think he may have lost work after that interview. If it was someone doing it now I could understand letting it be known.

It definitely is deducted from the Aus pension. When I became eligible for the pension I was told to contact UK to see how much pension I would get from there. What we get from UK pension never changes except for the exchange rate here, so mine varies from when it started as Aud$400 per month...

Got excited when this new game had three numbers. Now the following two days? No numbers. Last card I had no numbers when someone won, good for them but why do I bother checking?

Although the two I most loved , my mother's mother and my father's father, would be wonderful to speak with them again, right now it would be so special to have my little dog back, she died just before Christmas and is missed so very much - she was my little buddy who made me laugh even though...

Day two and no numbers.

Sorry for laughing but your "nude nut Dutton" is pure gold, and after this supposed increase we needed a laugh. In our block the rent has gone up by $18 per week, so this HUGE amount of $2.30 a week does nothing.

You'd be killed in the mad rush.

I used that one 🫂 a few days ago 😀

Day free of anything Drumpf.

Thank you for this joke, made me laugh out loud 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣

When I had the cortisone injection for my shoulder pain I was told not to do any lifting, no vacuuming, no back and forth movement with that shoulder for ten days. Also to expect some pain until things sorted themselves out--torn ligament/swollen and inflamed bursa. From that injection all pain...
