    Are you at risk of industrial deafness? Here's the signs you need to know

    Yeah probably be hard to get them. The basic ones are all you get on the pension for free. No sign of the defence forces doing this. Many of them were exposed to excess noise for years without protection. Depended on where you worked.

    Weight-loss drug Wegovy to go on sale in pharmacies next week

    Would not touch weight loss stuff like this. You have no idea how your body will react to it. It is still putting a foreign substance in your body. Mostly without much info on risks. We've had this with the covid jabs and look at the issue that has caused. I have found that losing weight is...

    Your cat may be banned! See why Perth is the latest council to restrict felines outdoors - Could your area be next?

    So are they saying you can't own a cat in these areas. There are some streets in Moreton City where you cannot have a cat at all. I feel this is divisive and discriminating. In my opinion, cats should be kept indoors at all times or in a purpose built enclosure for outside. Cats can happily live...

    Discover the Shocking Truth Behind That Persistent Toilet Odor – Even After Cleaning!

    I usually remove the toilet seat and clean the hole where it fits to along with soaking the whole seat and fittings in the bath for half a day using vinegar, dishwashing liquid and lemon essential oils but you can use any good cleaning product to do the same.

    State government offers $6,000 payout to Aussie drivers! Are you eligible?

    Not true, cost of mining the crap that goes into the batteries and the computer systems far outweighs the exhaust emissions from regular fuel cars. Cost to replace battery when it dies is astronomical not to mention the purchase price. Hybrids might be okay but I'm starting the think it's all...

    This superfood is the daily supplement you might need today!

    Bird flu is a scam. No such thing as a virus. All about upping the price of eggs and chicken meat and food in general. Singapore has just approved 16 insects to be put up as a food source. Watch this space, push to eat insects is coming. They want to cut out meat from our diet. Sad really

    This superfood is the daily supplement you might need today!

    There are others that are not as expensive but buy bones from the butcher and add cider vinegar, just a tablespoon. Cook in a slow cooker (they are cheap to buy) for 12, 24, or even 48 hours. Start on high till the liquid starts to bubble then turn to low. A cup a day is great. Add lots of salt...

    This superfood is the daily supplement you might need today!

    yes this one is good but you can also make your own. I do bone broth quite regularly. The butcher and some supermarkets have the bones quite cheap. If the animals are well looked after and are raised via regenerative farming especially the nutrition is there. Bit of apple cider vinegar in there...

    State government offers $6,000 payout to Aussie drivers! Are you eligible?

    I won't be buying one any time soon. Pensions can't afford EVs. The up front cost then the replacement of the battery 5-7 years down the track is not economical for most people. Hybrids might work but I just think it's a real scam.

    Massive Channel Seven layoff affects 150 personnel, including one TV staple

    Yeah agree. We have regional TV for our news. God forbid they get rid of the news reader and the weather man. The whole lot would sink.

    Massive Channel Seven layoff affects 150 personnel, including one TV staple

    Yes it is just crazy what is going on. Pretty much all reality tv now and most of it is junk. We do watch the regional news which is okay but also can be an ad fest. Shows like Creek to Coast are also just an ad fest. What is needed is more drama series like it used to be. All they make now id...

    Shocking police assault underscores urgent need for aged care reform

    It is really sad to see this happen. Many more elderly will end up with dementia and this could easily happen again. Police need to be encouraged to educate themselves about dementia, how it affects people and those who care for them. Lately it seems they just jump in with the maximum force and...

    Eat this and risk your heart! Shocking study exposes deadly risk of popular plant-based foods.

    yes it is personal choice but We should also look at the real science behind it all. Meat is not the issue, the way the animals are looked after is. Regenerative farming is best. Nothing will deter me from eating meat but I prefer to buy from places where they sell meat from the good farmers...

    Eat this and risk your heart! Shocking study exposes deadly risk of popular plant-based foods.

    We do actually. Sometimes we find out later in life what lack of real nutrients against supplements really does even if the supplements are natural. Plant have a lot of chemicals in them we don't need and can't process. Oxalates for one. Meat is a complete food. Natural to humans for thousands...

    Eat this and risk your heart! Shocking study exposes deadly risk of popular plant-based foods.

    We should not be eating a predominantly plant based diet. We need meat. Our gut is not set up to process plant material and cellulose in particular. We need meat or we will be short on B12 and iron to name just 2. Won't go that way any time soon

    Discover the 'Blue Zone' drink doctor swears by for longer life—one glass daily could be the secret!

    Oh grief more bad advice from a dietician. 100% orange juice. 100% sugar. And the blue zone is another one of those scams about longevity. Trying to get us to stop eating meat and start eating mostly fruit and veg. Al that will do is add to the already mounting number of diabetics, lower the...

    Lost in transactions: Widow’s family accuses Westpac of negligence over mysterious withdrawals

    yeah I wonder about the strength of the power of attorney if the mother was diagnosed with dementia but the daughter didn't seem to do much with it.

    Lost in transactions: Widow’s family accuses Westpac of negligence over mysterious withdrawals

    If this woman had a formal diagnosis of onset of dementia and the daughter was appointed power of attorney then perhaps the daughter should have advised the bank when this was done. If the bank knew she was not really capable of doing things for herself, (and yes some can appear fine but still...
