    A 'special' kind of price squeeze is hurting seniors... but is the extra pinch valid?

    Thanks for sharing. I’m sure this cardiologist will make more money, if I have a heart attack from a n account he gives me, should I need to see him again. If I need any more advice, I am going to get my GP to refer me to radiology for the echocardiogram and his rooms can easily do an ECG! I am...

    A 'special' kind of price squeeze is hurting seniors... but is the extra pinch valid?

    I had a pre operation checkup with a cardiologist, because my surgeon for a hernia repair, wanted to be thorough, because I am “66” years ancient. Never had a problem with many surgeries I have had. I had an ECG, and an ultrasound of the heart. All normal, and all eligible for bulk billing. The...

    Cost of living relief kicks in July 1: What Aussies can expect

    That’s the problem. Because you don’t personally like Dutton, you are not voting for him, but you are voting for a whole political party. People forget that. People have short memories. If the Coalition government was not in excellent financial condition, the country would be like a third world...

    Cost of living relief kicks in July 1: What Aussies can expect

    I like to vote for whoever is honest and doesn’t lie. Also, I prefer someone who is not a hypocrite. Albo compared himself to being a good Catholic boy, and didn’t forget the cameras when he went to Mass after the Pope died. I would have thought a good Catholic boy like Albo apparently is, would...

    Cost of living relief kicks in July 1: What Aussies can expect

    No, pensioners get nothing, but the pollies get a bucket load in pay rises. It’s even harder when you are living off your savings, and don’t even get any kind of pension or benefits. Gezzabel.

    Cost of living relief kicks in July 1: What Aussies can expect

    Ian angered that people are still whining about cost of living, but they had a chance to get rid of Airmiles Albo, and still voted him in. There’s a lot of morons in Australia, who are probably regretting voting for him, but they didn’t like the Coalition leader’s personality. Blame these...

    Too much of a good thing? Aussies split on Welcome to Country ceremonies

    This welcome to country crap, is a joke. I have my opinion and I’m entitled to it. Every event has it! We have voted a clear NO, on the referendum. Albo needs a foot in the butt. I’m sick of my taxes, paying more money to the aboriginal community, than is spent on the whole of Medicare in...

    Why senior shoppers are demanding clearer labels

    I have an account at my pharmacy, and pay the bill monthly. Yesterday it was over $400! I was shocked. I get blister packs made up, and it’s only $5.00 per week. But I also get extras, like a daily multivitamin, probiotics, calcium/vitamin D supplements too. I will have to contact the pharmacy...

    Cost of living relief kicks in July 1: What Aussies can expect

    It’s really disgusting, especially how some elderly people are treated by the government. Our friends 2 brothers, live in Foster in NSW. Their deceased father’s partner lives alone, and is in her late 80’s. She was uncontactable for days, so a welfare check was made. She was found unconscious...

    He thought he was too smart to fall for a scam—$17,000 later, here’s what he wants you to know

    I appreciate your response, and I’m speaking with sincere honesty. I wish you well, and beware of ANZ. I can’t understand how badly they treat their customers. My daughter is really smart and is doing a PhD on global finance. She told us too, that research has proven how bad ANZ is. Stay away...

    He thought he was too smart to fall for a scam—$17,000 later, here’s what he wants you to know

    ANZ is the worst bank ever. We had to finalise my mother’s estate and she banked with ANZ. Every hold up we had, was waiting on service from ANZ. The treatment was appalling. I’m warning customers, change banks to Commonwealth or Westpac. My husband does business banking with Commonwealth, and...

    He thought he was too smart to fall for a scam—$17,000 later, here’s what he wants you to know

    My dear mother, a very intelligent woman! I warned her, that if the bank ever called her, it was going to be a scam. About 2 weeks later, she did receive a call saying it was the bank. I am glad I warned her, because she knew what I said was true. The guy on the phone also had a foreign accent...

    He thought he was too smart to fall for a scam—$17,000 later, here’s what he wants you to know

    Be careful! I received a text message, and an email from Westpac. The text in itself was a red flag 🚩. The bank will never text or ring you ever! Because I got an email too, I didn’t open it, but deleted it immediately, because I realised it was a scam, and if you open the email, you are exposed...

    Too many people with back pain call ambulances or visit the ED. Here’s why that’s a problem

    A lot of seniors call an ambulance for back pain, because of the severe pain involved. Many are constantly ignored, and they get frustrated because they are desperate for pain relief. Forget Panadol and Nurofen if you’re the real deal. Too many young doctors don’t get it. Unless you have...

    Are you making this common mistake that got me kicked out of my GP’s office in just 6 minutes?

    Do yourself a favour. Avoid quick bulk billing visits. Doctors get paid around $38.00 for a standard consultation. A good doctor, will charge more, but you will get your issues resolved sooner. A good doctor charges around $100 per standard consultation, but you get what you pay for. Definitely...

    ‘We are truly sorry for the devastating incident’: Qantas takes accountability for staff’s condition

    Qantas is sickening. All they care about is money!!! They are greedy, and their customer service is pathetic.

    Too many people with back pain call ambulances or visit the ED. Here’s why that’s a problem

    You are spot on. Takes me back to the Dr. Jeffrey Edelsten days. So many 24 hour clinics around , and free. Sadly though, it’s not good medicine. It’s easy to pop in for a quick script, but if you don’t have a GP who knows your history well, it’s so easy to overlook a symptom, especially if...
