    Unexpected tactic raises concerns over personal information during election season

    This country is in so much debt due to our governments. They have sold off everything possible to private corporations. I hate what has happened to this country.

    Millionaire says ‘we aren’t in a cost of living crisis’—but is he right?

    It was a different era. We also did not pay off cars, have breakfast out, buy bottled water or coffee every day. You are absolutely right. How to budget should be taught in Maths at school. Our children should understand how it all works and perhaps we should run a refresher course for those...

    Millionaire says ‘we aren’t in a cost of living crisis’—but is he right?

    I agree with many of the comments. We saved and saved for our home. We didn't have take-away and we only went out to dinner on our wedding anniversary. It took us 5 years. We did not waste money and I have always budgeted. I do not think that our children understand "going without".

    Unexpected tactic raises concerns over personal information during election season

    Yesterday I received 2 text messages from Political Parties. One I was able to reply STOP however the other I was unable to do this. I do not want this rubbish sent to my mobile. I feel like replying - you have just lost my vote for sending me lies about what you are promising in the future.

    Former SA leader’s guilty plea stuns supporters—what happens next will surprise you

    We do indeed need politicians who will give to this country rather than take. Is there anybody interested in the role from this community? I am too old but I am sure we could balance the budget far better than what is happening now. We would never have sold off our country. After all we did...

    Are you being misdiagnosed? Global health experts demand a massive change in obesity assessments

    My understanding is that they are also looking at a healthy waist to height ratio. This is determined by dividing waist size by height: both men and women should keep their waist circumference at no more than half their height. Extra inches around the middle are more dangerous than an increase...

    Election alert: Here's how to make sure you're prepared for Australia's biggest day

    I wish we could. The best we can do is by voting for the parties that we believe are better for Australia and put the others last.

    Election alert: Here's how to make sure you're prepared for Australia's biggest day

    I did the same. I would rather stay away from a political party to get my postal vote.

    Massive payment shift pushes millions toward cashless society

    I agree with you but many people cannot see where this will lead us. Let us hope that the Identity Card does not proceed. This is the first step in their control of us.

    Major shake-up coming! What Australia Post’s latest move means for you

    I send birthday cards to my family and friends. The time the letter takes to arrive has decreased. I always allow extra time but there has been no need to. I was speaking to my cousin in Sydney who works for a Barrister. They are now sending important documents through using priority mail...

    Massive payment shift pushes millions toward cashless society

    Cash ensures our freedom. I will continue to use cash for my shopping and continue to avoid credit card purchases. Behind the scenes, government have brought in a digital card identity which we voted against last century. This is despicable and I fear the control the government will have if...

    Government announces additional energy rebate for households! Here's how you can benefit from it

    This is a complete and utter joke. That money has to come from somewhere and it will come from we the people. Electricity needs to be cheaper to start with. We need to own our own electricity companies (as we once did ETSA). This green energy is costing us more not less. We need to bring...

    ‘It is a very close race’: New poll reveals a shocking election twist

    I totally agree with you. Previous governments have sold off everything we once owned. We had a manufacturing industry. We had cheap oil and gas. There is absolutely no scientific proof that carbon dioxide drives global warming. We are just being conned. Our farming land is being sold off...

    ‘It is a very close race’: New poll reveals a shocking election twist

    This is worth reading. It is not about a specific party but about what we can do to try and stop the people we dislike being voted in. https://lateralinsights.com.au

    ‘It is a very close race’: New poll reveals a shocking election twist

    I totally agree with you. Perhaps we need to look at some of the independents to try and keep the others honest.
