    Gas hot water systems to be phased out of Victorian homes under new energy reforms

    If you have gas you have options when we have blackouts. Still have hot water, heating & can cook. Love gas & hopefully we'll never be forced to not use it. Just need to mine more gas reserves & bugger all the do-gooders. They r causing more problems than so called helping "save the planet".

    Aussies split over delivery driver's move: 'How are these people still in business?'

    This parcel could have been left behind the upright post on the verandah. That way it's out of site. It would have been very easy to do. Just laziness & thoughtless on behalf of the courier

    Why eating too much ginger, turmeric or cinnamon could interfere with your prescription medication

    I for one will keep taking my turmeric tea & my other supplements, fish oil etc Am 73 & not taking any medications & eat well & keep very mobile. Most of my friends are all on medication of some sort, also overweight. It's a losing battle trying to tell them about a clean diet so I don't...

    Would you rather....?

    Definitely the chair! I really don't need constant treats as I like to keep healthy & a good weight. Would be nice to have a nanna nap on occasions as I don't fall asleep on the lounge. My hubby has no problems tho😊

    Calls grow louder for the government to stop stalling on home care

    This is disgusting & I totally blame the government's present & past for not preparing for this increase in age care needs. I worked in Community age care & left about 15 yrs ago & there was talk then about how the needs of Australians was going to increase as us boomers aged. Action should have...

    Remember saving up before buying? This $19,000 Afterpay bill shows this generation’s doing the opposite

    So much for "people doing it tough"? I just don't understand why people have to have everything NOW! I guess being a baby boomer has taught us a few lessons. Do without & don't get into debt. The only debt we had was our home loan. Paid up front for anything we really needed. Even tho we now...

    Injections raise serious risk, reveal shocking side effects dangerous for seniors

    You may not be eating a lot but what you are eating could be flammatory to your body & can cause some of your health issues. It's amazing what a change of diet can do for you. Dairy is one of the flammatory foods & sugar is a huge one. When I cut these out (after finding out I was intolerant) I...

    Injections raise serious risk, reveal shocking side effects dangerous for seniors

    Your right in what you say but diet is a huge factor. Some people think they are eating good food & they maybe but certain foods react with your gut & body & it's impossible to lose weight & have a healthy lifestyle. You have to find out what foods are bad for you personally. I have been down...

    Injections raise serious risk, reveal shocking side effects dangerous for seniors

    So correct. The problem is most overweight people with bad diets end up with type 2 diabetes & qualify for the injection. If you change your lifestyle & what you are putting in your gut (unhealthy inflammatory foods) you can reverse the diabetes. It's very simple but obviously too hard for some...

    Injections raise serious risk, reveal shocking side effects dangerous for seniors

    I cannot fathom how anyone can inject themselves with this stuff only to lose weight!! Unless you have a life threatening disease of course & no other options. Obese individuals have options & no. 1 is a healthy lifestyle! Diets don't work. That's just yo yoing up & down. Neither do drinking...

    Veteran film star reveals serious health battle fans need to know

    I use to like watching her travelling show but don't like her foul mouth. Also it is sad having that prognosis but..... she is obviously very overweight & a lot of her health issues are from her life choices. She should lose a lot of weight & eat good food & that would help with her mobility...

    New tax laws prompt changes in retirement plans nationwide. Here's what we know

    I totally agree 👍 What is it with Australians & the tall poppy syndrome. If it wasn't for the people who have worked hard all their lives & don't depend on the tax payer to look after them & often have a business & employ people, you maybe without a job! And then they are punished for their...

    New Minister for Ageing: What It Means for Older Australians’ Health, Care and Finances

    I totally agree with the above. He's way too young. They really need someone whose had experiences in age care. (Maybe he has but they didn't say) The age care system now is a complete mess & needs a thorough overhaul. The waiting time is UNBELIEVABLE!! And sooo confusing for older Australians...
