    Aussie government announces changes to the federal budget! How can seniors benefit from it?

    Definitely nothing in the budget for pensioners, AGAIN!!! I don't begrudge a handout to rebuild the burnt out Synagogue, but $30 million! Isn't that a little extreme? I bet the original building cost wasn't anywhere near this cost & then an extra $1.2 million for security upgrades. How about...

    Shocking incident sends innocent shoppers to hospital after Bunnings visit

    A product like this is not & would not be available at any Bunnings store. In fact, aerosol cans of paint remain locked away & can only be accessed by staff after a customer makes a request for a particular product.

    Tradies uncover surprise under bridge, their next move wins hearts

    A truly heart warming story. Congratulations tradies for taking the action you did in an effort to save these tiny creatures of nature. All too often we hear of trees being cleared which previously housed birds or mammals. The City of Gosnells in W.A. recently showed a story where tubes were...

    One million retirees could be missing out on huge savings—are you one of them?

    Bridgette Pace: Thankyou for your time to explain these facts. I can see you have had to plan well for what you are doing & taking risks is a principle part of this.
