    Proposed Medicare reforms spark discussions online. Can these proposals help Aussie seniors' healthcare concerns?

    Get your facts right. Nuclear is the least dangerous and the least environmentally harmful form of energy production currently known. It is also far, far more economical than renewables. Of course if either party cared about either economy or the environment, they would be focused on much more...

    Proposed Medicare reforms spark discussions online. Can these proposals help Aussie seniors' healthcare concerns?

    Then go ahead and vote for even worse destruction - a continuation of the appallingly bad government we are seeing now, encouraging racial division, bringing in immigrants by the hundreds of thousands to exacerbate major homelessness and poverty and put horrendous pressure on infrastructure...

    Proposed Medicare reforms spark discussions online. Can these proposals help Aussie seniors' healthcare concerns?

    Keep doing what all media scum are doing - lying to promote Labor. I don't know why anyone wants Labor in power, but obviously the scum media do and the author of this article is right up there with that scum. Disgusting! These proposals were never implemented despite them being put forward...

    Aussie home builder collapses with $20 million debt, impact on you

    The building industry is in a shocking mess due to the negligence of ASIC and building regulators nationwide, and the abuse of power by the criminal elements in the Union. The laws need to be changed, and those laws that do exist to protect consumers need to be enforced, without favour. ASIC...

    Aussies sue aged care provider over claims of mistreatment and broken promises

    My mother died in a Bupa Aged Care Home in 2015. I would love to add my testimony to support those involved in this class action, despite the time period difference. When she first went in to that Home, the care was excellent, although she and I were both seriously misled by the admissions...

    Aussie government announces changes to the federal budget! How can seniors benefit from it?

    Subsidised childcare for families earning over $500,000 a year! Really? Taxpayers struggling on less than $100K a year are subsidising families earning over half a million? And we are supposed to applaud that? I would prefer that the government tell those rich families to look after their own...

    Tabby, how many times are you going to repeat that outright lie? Do you really thing it isn't obvious that you are an ALP stooge? Doesn't matter how often you say it, you know. IT IS STILL A LIE. And most folk here are intelligent enough to see that and to see that you are a stooge.

    OMG. Greens! Voting ALP is bad enough, but the ratbag extremists pushing gender lies and climate change BS? Please, no!

    Yes. You nailed it. The Two Party system MUST Go. That is Australia's only hope. Anyone supporting either the ALP or Libs is contributing to the destruction of our country. We need to get rid of career politicians - permanently.

    Thanks Anthony. We should also all note that the ALP has plenty of money to throw at a failed plan to build more houses. Millions spent. Not a single house constructed.

    Lies Lies Lies. And you keep repeating them. I guess, like the ALP politicians, you think if you say it often enough the public will swallow these untruths. Most of us are more intelligent. We check the FACTS. And this is a blatant and very destructive LIE.

    Please stop spreading LIES. Nobody in the Libs has EVER even hinted at applying the INDUE card to aged pensioners. In fact, they have been adamant in declaring they have no such intention. This is just another ALP LIE to blacken the names of their opposition.

    I love what Trump is doing. He is restoring common sense and productivity - undoing the hideous damage the lefties have done. What is the ALP doing for us? Throwing money about like drunken sailors. Taking from taxpayers to give huge electricity subsidies to the wealthy. Handing out massive...

    That is simply not true. Who is responsible for spreading these vicious lies? Mr Dutton has been very clear that the card will not be applied to aged pensioners, nor to the disabled, except in isolated cases where it is clear the pension recipient is incapable of managing their affairs...

    Would removing this cost fix the housing crisis for retirees? Experts weigh in

    I don't think removing stamp duty would fix the housing crisis, but it's time some common sense was applied when asking why more retirees don't downsize. First, you have to deal with agent fees to sell your existing home. That's likely to be in the order of $30,000-$50,000, or more, depending...

    This homeowner lost $170K in a home-building horror story

    Yet another horror story that evidences the horrific mess the building industry is in - due substantially to poor regulation and corrupt or seriously ineffective regulators. There are tens if not hundreds of thousands of similar stories. A Building license is now seemingly a license to extort...

    Trade professional exposes a worrying trend in new homes – here's what you need to watch out for!

    And yes, I experienced problems. I had to owner-build to complete my home after a dodgy builder ripped me off for over $200,000 and abandoned the job at roofing stage because I refused to pay more unlawful invoices. QBCC were useless. I was refused non-completion insurance because the contract...

    Trade professional exposes a worrying trend in new homes – here's what you need to watch out for!

    Building regulation in Australia needs urgent reform. Building standards are falling, and too many builders are ripping off clients with shoddy work and overcharging, and regulators are doing NOTHING. The law is a mess. In Queensland, for example, the law says the landowner is solely...

    Homeownership vs. retirement savings: Debate over superannuation access heats up

    The system IS going belly up, because of people not being able to afford a fully paid-off home to retire in. Good luck with the ''I'm okay and they should be'' attitude when that happens. When we discuss 30% renting and vast numbers still paying off a mortgage, we are generally referring to...

    Homeownership vs. retirement savings: Debate over superannuation access heats up

    Well, it's now been announced that research shows that housing costs are going to ''blow up the retirement system, with more than 30% of retirees having to rent and vast numbers still paying off a mortgage in retirement. What is the point of this nonsense ''superannuation is for retirement''...
