    Doctors shocked to find brain tumour the size of a lemon in a woman who had NO cancer symptoms

    My thoughts and prayers are with this amazing young woman. Your resilience is amazing. I have never forgotten a friend who develops bone cancer in his early 20’s. 50 years on I remember his brave fight & ultimate acceptance that he would be going home long before the rest of us.

    The new Pension Work Bonus rule is taking effect today

    Well it’s a little like Labor’s childcare subsidies. Labor are spending this money to get women BACK INTO THE WORKFORCE! This short term pension bonus is about getting seniors BACK INTO THE WORKFORCE! As others have noted, some of us CANNOT work. How about giving us WORK FROM HOME. Public...

    New information about the Queen makes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's absence even worse — was it intentional?

    Harry was & still is, besotted with Meghan. She is always going to hold sway over him until the day SHE decides she has had enough. She will walk away amply provided for & with the children. Harry gave up things he loved, such as his military tasks for love of Meghan. He made a choice. They...

    I would have spoken to the flight attendant. There is no way I would have had the patience to put up with the bouncing - it looks like the Chinese water torture!

    Plan to reduce pension access for claimants with drug and alcohol-related conditions is scrapped

    So sorry for the additional stress you had to endure! Having dealt with C/Link I concur with you. It is so annoying to have authentic documentation from specialists & health professionals brushed aside by some 25 year old WITHOUT a medical degree!!

    Is Australia Post racist? Customer outraged over controversial sign

    A badly worded sign, no intent to be racist. If the Indian Government has specific rules re: passport photos then they need to advise their citizens of WHERE they can go to get the correct ones or take them themselves at their embassies…

    Woolworths shopper warns others after discovering gross meat 'trick'

    We do not buy meat much anymore. Far too expensive. Usually just get something on markdown suitable for a slow cook when we do buy meat. My treat now is to take myself out for a steak on my birthday.

    Coles prices prompt cost-of-living conversations among Australians

    Definitely experiencing a constant rise in prices. Shop fortnightly & paying $80 more for same items. I laugh when the adverts tell me that certain items are locked & loaded! It includes chips, soft drink, biscuits etc which are obviously to keep the kids happy! I do not buy these. I go to...

    Neighbour from hell: Dog owners feel threatened after receiving a disturbing letter

    Threats to kill someone’s animals should be a criminal matter. An animal can be killed if it is attacking livestock but even that must be done humanely, e.g. head shot. There have been many “neighbours” who solve issues by poisoning dogs, birds, trees etc. This does not mean that they were...

    Locals want this creek renamed over concerns of racism. Do you agree?

    Love & respect all. The past cannot be undone. Sorry, but you would think that the English were the only nation in the world EVER to colonise other countries. They are blWhat about France, Spai, Portugal, the Dutch etc? Whether it be 40,000 or 65,000 years ago, the indigenous peoples of...

    Woolworths cashier refuses to pack bags and sparks heated debate – who's in the wrong?

    I do my bit as the customer by placing items on counter grouped. E.G. all soft breads etc together, all frozen together, all dairy together etc. I bring heaps of bags and as a senior I expect cashier to bag as they go. I lift my own bags into trolley. Fairs fair, I am not an employee, I am a...

    Australia’s Food Crisis: ‘From homeless on the street to people living in your street’

    Not too proud to say that I go to our local Anglicare Pantry once a fortnight. I can get basics such as bread but it is to get some fruit or vegetable, the odd drink or two, shampoo, cereal etc. Luxury items! Just started dinners with Lite & Easy home care package. 14 healthy meals & access...

    Is your retirement at risk? Pensions take a turn in Australia

    My brother came to live with me in mid 2020. That was a sad event as at 72 he was forced by health & Government to leave his wife in order to ensure she was housed! Another story! The reality is I rely solely on the aged pension. If it were not for a private rental agreement & my brother’s...
