Anything is a help. Although I think, from past experiences that if a Liberal Government gets into power again in Queensland the first thing they will do is raise public housing rent. We have been lucky for a bit with the Labor government. But all governments are out to take what they can...
Mine that come home with shopping delivered are wet and no use when they get into my door, they go straight into the recycling bin. When I happen to go into a store, anyone, I take my own cloth bags. I wonder how much money these paper bags are costing us in our groceries?
Yes I received a quote for my new health insurance, it had gone up to $4,000 approximately so I had to drop Hospital Cover and keep extras. I have had cover for 50+ years but it is becoming far too expensive especially on a pension.
I have registered with the ambulance how to get into my unit. Just have to renew it every year with them. If I am unable to get to the door, they know the keysafe number. I am on my own as well.

We have a new Coles up the road from me and I am very impressed with the layout and ease of access. Much better for quick , small trips than having to go to the major shopping centre with both supermarkets and Aldi, but if you need to shop around you still need to go to the shopping centre...
That must be one of the beaches that my NZ family goes to regularly, wish I could fly and see them all. They talk about the beauty of Rarotonga all the time. Fabulous photo.
