    Duchess steps back amid changing dynamics in their relationship

    Why can’t the press give them some peace. Harry loves his wife dearly, and he refuses to see her treated like his Mother. I don’t think I have ever seen a photo of them, not holding hands. Think about it. It’s very protective on Harry’s part. I’m really proud of him. Gezabel.

    Funding rules shift as NDIS restructures support framework

    Let’s hope something serious is done. It’s being used for things like cucumber facials, hot rock massage, manicures, and other wasteful things. The NDIS is costing us, the taxpayer, more annually than the total cost of the annual Medicare bill. I have a daughter in her 30’s, who is registered...

    Shocking! This restaurant kicked someone out for their looks – Could it happen to you?

    This poor gentleman needs compassion, not disrespect and discrimination. Imagine living a day in his shoes. I hope that he has the courage to sue the restaurant for discrimination. I hope that he can make a stand for people who through no fault of their own, don’t look the way we like. This...

    Is Your Doctor Too Old to Treat You? The Shocking Reason Health Checks for GPs Over 70 Are Being Demanded!

    I would prefer a doctor with life experience and wisdom. You can’t buy wisdom, or learn it from a textbook. I have experienced emergency room visits, with a cocky arrogant attitude. Don’t get me wrong. I am respectful of the medical profession, especially as I am a retired ER nurse. I don’t like...

    Law firm seeks class action over heartburn medication used by millions of Aussies

    I was taking Nexium regularly, and it resulted in seizures and convulsions. If my husband had not witnessed the first seizure, I wouldn’t be alive. It required 10 days of hospital admission, I often think that I could have been driving at the time. Imagine if I killed somebody on the road...

    'Irresponsible': This supermodel's controversial take on cancer treatment sparks concern from fans and healthcare experts

    I agree that it is misinformation and irresponsible, for A listers to voice their personal opinion on such treatment. The only reason that breast cancer is survivable, is the research and early detection from screening. None of us want to get breast cancer, and sometimes a radical approach is...

    Finances of our youth.

    Finances of our youth. I’m disappointed at the whinging and whining of some of our young people. Many don’t want to work, and prefer the handouts that they receive from our taxes. The dole. Many complain about being poor, but seem to be able to afford several tattoos that are expensive, and...

    Telstra scam

    Telstra will never call you. Only email. Another suspicious scam is from e-toll, threatening that if you don’t pay your bill, you will incur extra fees. Interesting, because I never use the tolls at all. Do not open email from tham, because it’s a scam.

    'What's the deal?': Ruffled tradie questions hardware store’s pet policy

    They have a worse policy. Staff are not allowed to challenge customers, if they suspect theft. How many people steal, and walk away. Every honest customer, is paying the price. Bunnings has millions of dollars in theft annually. Do you think this is fair?

    Scam at Coles.

    Scam at Coles. I wanted to let members know, that I do online grocery shopping at Coles. I am sure that many of us do. The service is excellent. I received a text message today, saying that it was Coles, with a link to get a Coles voucher for $30.00. I was suspicious, and called Coles directly...

    The heartbreaking reason why this grocery is finally ditching self-serve checkouts!

    May as well! I am honest, and we pay for the thefts that occur. Bunnings loses $200 million dollars a year in theft. The staff are not allowed to challenge customers, even when they suspect theft. So who pays for the thefts at Bunnings? You and I, honest customers do. Makes me angry that...

    Qantas Rip-off

    Qantas Rip-off I wanted to warn our members, about the big Qantas rip-off. My young daughter has MS, and walks with a stick. Her husband decided that she deserved a wonderful trip to Disneyland with her 2 young children. To reserve your seat on the flight, it’s an extra $60 per person to have a...

    Daily Newsletter 28.08.2023

    Nearly scammed today. Someone posing as “express VPN” sounded suspicious. They requested credit card details. They already had numbers, but not expiry date. Sounded legitimate, but checked with husband, and he said it was a scam. Beware to readers, as it looked real. Never disclose credit card...

    Disability, NDIS.

    I appreciate otime for feedback. Apparently the same MRI machine must be used, because of the variation of information with different machines. She has enough on her plate to deal with, but $900 is insulting. My husband and I will pay, not even a question. It’s the principle that matters. What...
