    They lost their Centrelink payments to a fake charity—are you next?

    How wicked these people are. I am constantly aware of the possibility of being defrauded but there is always a possibility that I could be another victim. I don’t donate because of high administration costs.

    Shocking truth behind empty Bunnings shelves—what they're not telling you!

    Excellent that Bunnings is concentrating on providing accessories for electric vehicles. I don’t have one but my partner does and I have been put off with having to charge his car when we travel a good distance. It’s a nuisance having to wait to fully charge so if you can do your shopping while...

    Hard to Handle: How Everyday Products Are Failing Older Australians

    Yes of course we should be considered when using anything. I find my kitchen scissors irreplaceable when opening all types of tin lids

    Resident-to-resident aggression is common in nursing homes. Here’s how we can improve residents’ safety

    Yes they would. I know my husband would have wanted it but unfortunately he was “not of sound mind” so wasn’t seen to be able to make such a decision… Sadly…

    Australians are pushing back on tipping—where do you stand?

    No I don’t tip. I may do if I receive some fabulous service or if the food is so much above average I may tip the chef. But I can’t afford to tip these days.

    Rental market shocks with $1100 weekly listing in major city apartment

    I must admit that you know when a house in your street is rented. It often has lawns full of weeds and the look of the garden is usually uncouth. Often several cars are parked on the lawn. Sorry to say this but it is true

    Can your social media flexes land you in jail? Here's what one state has to say about it

    Unbelievable!! Just can’t imagine who would be proud enough to post their illegal exploits and boast about them. I would be ashamed to think others had found out that I had done something that would shame me.

    Emergency crew responds after Qantas pilot falls ill. What happened?

    No I haven’t experienced such a situation but I did know that pilots have special conditions about menus. I was told that they don’t eat the same chicken meal because this meat was more susceptible to being off. When you think of it it is easy to suffer from food poisoning especially if you...

    Retirement Villages Promise a Golden Life – But at What Cost for Older Australians?

    I know the WA retirement village mentioned and have friends who live there and they are very happy. I think because it’s not for profit it is more for the people who live there. I am in my early 80s and have a house that is too large for me but I can’t bear the thought of ditching all the...

    Queensland government announces more than half a billion dollars for homeless services

    That’s good for homeless in Queensland. To my knowledge there is no such help here for homeless. With the price of rentals it seems hopeless for anyone to afford to get a house unless they are very well paid.
