    Over 4.7 million Australians to get a Centrelink payment boost - Here’s how much more money you could be receiving!

    Grateful for the increase as a single pensioner. It will not even cover the extra $600 in electricity cost increases since last May. So already eaten up in increased cost of living pressure.. Still not going to get a holiday anytime soon!

    Shocking reports: Some of Australia's most vulnerable citizens are facing worse dietary standards than prisoners

    I have seen the poor food fed to our aged both in some hospitals & aged care. The food & drink is often placed out of reach. In one ward, if I had not attended to support my client EVERY day, neither she or the other orthopaedic patients would have even got near their food & drink before it...

    Australia Post employee faces backlash for blocking disabled parking

    This type of mindless parking happens all the time. I am often amused when I see that motorcycles are given special parking closer to entrances than the disabled parks! There is also a dearth of disabled parking spaces. It seems that everyone & their dog can get a permit nowadays. Take the...

    Did your grocery bill suddenly go through the roof? Here's why

    I buy from Coles, Woolworths & Aldi because one shop does not have all my preferred brands etc. There is no doubt that prices have been going up every shop. Many of the locked prices are on items I do not buy as I consider them luxuries. As a pensioner, I am able to access a food pantry...

    King Charles $5 note snub triggers backlash: 'A disappointment to many Australians'

    Lidia Thorpe is delighted that there will be no monarch on the $5 note! She is looking forward to a TREATY REPUBLIC. Her words, not mine! So what does that mean? In becoming a Republic, Australia must not just throw out institutions JUST because they were introduced by the Brits! That would...

    King Charles $5 note snub triggers backlash: 'A disappointment to many Australians'

    Australia will become a Republic. This should not be about bashing the British Monarchy, their “dysfunctionality” or British colonisation. We CANNOT live in the past. Penny Wong just used a visit to Britain to remind migrant Australians of other countries of their subjugation to British...

    Are You Being Taken for a Ride? This Café's 'Absolute Joke of a Surcharge' Will Make You Red with Rage!

    That’s because the ice displaces the orange juice! You get less juice with ice! No ice, more juice, so you pay extra! It’s a bit rich!!

    'Unusual' passenger hitches a ride to McDonald's drive-thru for a sweet treat!

    Hopefully restrained in some fashion but I can understand Rocco’s love of a soft serve! I used to get looks when I took my two dogs & my sheep, Mr MacDuff out for a drive. MacDuff thought he was a dog & lived a good life!

    Cardinal George Pell passes away following hip surgery complications

    Those rushing to condemn Pell have little understanding of what happens following a High Mass at St Mary’s. Andrew Bolt proved conclusively that in the alleged timeframe & given the NUMBER of other adults present ALL the time, there was no way Pell could have sexually penetrated TWO altar boys...

    Cardinal George Pell passes away following hip surgery complications

    Let those without sin cast the first stone….. No one on earth has the right to judge. Jesus was innocent but He was executed. If you do not believe in God, or your fellow human beings all you are left with is condemnation of anyone who does not fit your criteria. Let the man REST IN PEACE!

    This British expat was SHOCKED by these 5 things she experienced in Australia

    So if someone comments on what they have found different on moving to Australia, they are a whinger or mocking Australia? Then of course, they MUST be English because people of every other ethnicity never have a bad word to say! Fair crack of the whip please! When I came & was living in W.A. I...

    Woolworths under fire for this 'frustrating' self-service checkout feature

    F/nightly shop at Woolies today. Only 1 checkout manned as usual. Spent 15 minutes waiting just to reach the checkout! If Woolworths wants to deal ONLY with online customers as evidenced by the number of staff running around filling online orders for collection or delivery then DO IT! If you...

    ‘Are we turning into America?’ Aussies share their thoughts as more and more GPs steer away from bulk-billing

    You have to be 75 at our super clinic in order to be bulk billed. You can get it though if you are under 5 or are an ATSI patient. We cannot get repeat prescriptions via Telehealth either. Got to make an appointment & pay the piper before getting the rebate. I would like G.P.’s to be well...

    You won’t believe how many scam text messages Telstra blocks in a year!

    This is a terrific scam alert assist provided by Telstra. If I receive calls from unknown numbers I am alerted that it is a telemarketer or a scam immediately. I do not answer & can then block the number. However, scammers are persistent! They keep trying to get you to answer!

    How does your favourite fruit mince pie rate? Experts weigh in

    I prefer Mr Kipling mince pies but they are barely to be found anymore! I do agree with Rosalie though. Homemade with Robertson’s mincemeat & buttery shortcrust is best of all!
