I wouldn't post the same story twice on the SDC page.

Even if I only want a couple of items I use a trolley. Baskets are too awkward & heavy for me to use even for a small shop. I have even resorted to putting my shopping in MY bag when I only need a few things, then putting them on the checkout roller ready for the operator to put back in my...

So as seniors who may have difficulty getting to the shops at times, we can now not have our aged care worker do our shopping & use our cards at the checkout? It's our goods, our cost so why nor our store benefit cards? During Covid I had a friend who was not able to do her own shopping due...

You beat me to it. I was about to say that most of these drivers are foreigners, many without current visas, who are just trying to get as much money out of us as they can so they can continue to live here & send money back overseas to support their families. I will not get in a taxi if the...

Since the enforcement officers need to be able to safely & easily read the date on the permit, that says that it MUST be placed on the left hand side of the vehicle. I agree this is a problem for many drivers (including myself) as that is a long way from where the driver is sitting in many cars...

Why do you find it necessary to keep rehshing old rules? This rule has been in place for a number of years now & has been on news bulletins regularly over that time, so why dos SDC find it necessary to make a big deal out of it? Everyone knows the rule. Some choose to ignore it just like some...

The word frequent was used here as a verb and when used as a verb, "frequent" means to visit a place or place often, regularly, or habitually. It suggests a pattern of repeated visits, like being a regular customer or patron of a certain location. So the use in this post was quite correct.

How many bins do they expect you to keep in your home to sort all this stuff before you take it outside to go in the wheely bin? Also, what are we expected to do with our hearing aid batteries? I definitely don't want them lying about the house but if I could ever get to the rubbish tip I...

Then you have to spend a lot of money to buy a new bin.

Just because you are so capable of navigatiing the system as your post suggests, doesn't mean that others don't become scared of what life has for them as they age. I am s**t scared of what is going to happen to me if I end up being under this new scheme because they took so long to get the...

I have been assessed at Level 2 a.c. but have not received any funds yet. I am scared that when the funds do finally arrive I will be classified under the new system which is even worse financially than the current one. I have a copy of the documents which the service providers were issued &...

Another one I have never heard of. You have a weird idea of what defines a legend in Australia

My email is not for the use of businesses trying to cut their costs while I have to cover these costs by paying to have the internet connected, electricity to run my computer to look for their a/cs etc., having a printer to print out a hard copy for to pay the a/c using paper & ink & more...

I don't know what happened here but if she deliberately overdosed him with his medication then that is murder. Every state now allows assisted suicide or assisted murder in hospitals or under medical supervision & she should have taken the legal route.

And you shouldn't expect doctors & nurses to kill you. Think of the effect this will have on their mental health over the years they work in hospitals if they are required to administer drugs to kill their patients. As a former nurse I could never have participated in this without it causing...

I do check for expiry dates on a lot of what I buy at the supermarket. Closer to expiry date usually at the front & new stuff at the back. And, yes, I want what I buy to have the longest life possible as I can't afford to throw away because the quality has deteriorated (as it does with spices)...

If I have to pay to go to Bunnings I will go back up the street to another hardware store. It is nearly impossible to go to Bunnings & not need your car to take your goods, which are usually large and/or bulky, home. I have to drive +2 hours to get to Bunnings & if they can't allow me time to...

We did not have ANZAC services at the school in my day. I don't think it is necessary for them to be held now. By all means teach the children about the efforts of our soldiers & the terrible number who died. I have no problem with that but if I had children at school & they were going to be...

I 100% agree with your Dr. They did not study to become a murderer which is what this "assisted dying" really is - murder.

Well, it won't affect my meat budget as I have not been able to afford red meat for about 5 years now. Chicken is so much cheaper & over the weekend I prepared 14 meals from 1 cooked chicken, froze them ready for when needed.
