I wonderful how many struggling working Aussies got a $225.60 pay rise in the same time frame these jobseekers did? And those complaining about the increase in their social housing rent? Consider the increase private renters faced. Instead of minimal increases, the various governments should be...
Honey Jumbles are the ones I miss. My late father and I used to share them. He'd eat the white ones and ( begrudgingly) let me eat the pink ones. The only other biscuit we shared are 'Spicy Fruit Rolls' and it's getting really hard to find them. IGA seems to be the last store to keep them, and...
The problem is when you actually find the perfect man, and realise he's the perfect man because of the way you brought him up. In other words, he's your son, and you just hope he finds someone who deserves him.
It's not just a problem for dairy farmers, it's a problem for the whole country. Until insurance companies invest/ borrow only in Australia, they're going to keep passing on their costs to the average Australian who pays their insurance and blindly accepts the bill. Unfortunately paying interest...

Has anyone offered the victim help of any kind? Yes, the offender is a piece of sh*t, yes he needs to be called out. Did the mother with a young child get any real help?
Don't these idiots realise that they get to live in this beautiful country because we are a country of immigrants. Diversity is what makes this place so great. I bet the offender is happy to chow down on a Chinese feed or munch on an Indian curry. He certainly needs to pull his head in and take...
We've installed solar, with battery back up, which was a very expensive outlay. My husbands reasoning behind this decision is 'when he can no longer work (at 70+ he's still working 4 days a week) there will only be manageable bills'. It also adds to the value of the house when we kick the...
I've had a few 'suspected spam' messages come up on my phone, but mostly just get a lot of 'unknown number' notifications. A lot of these are scams, charity cold calls and general bullsh*t. Doesn't appear to be all that effective to this senior (who, by the way, has always been a Telstra customer).
It's damned near impossible to see a GP in under 3 weeks, where I live. Nice regional, coastal area where infrastructure has definitely not kept up with the influx of people since covid.
