    Ignore people like Veggiepatch, John ... they are only here to be abrasive and stir.

    If you believe what Danielle F. wrote, then I am wasting my time bothering with you. She wrote that the pension and welfare payments would be "relief." In all of the comments to this point, I do not see a single person claiming that "relief." Similarly, not a single person here has stated that...

    What RUBBISH, Veggie. How many times have Independents and One Nation (as an example) turned the tide of a Bill in the Senate? Look what happened during Gillard's hung Parliament days. You have a selective memory. Both major parties are running scared that neither will control the Senate (they...

    Should that happen (pensions be cut), there wouldn't be anyone protesting in any way, except on pages like these. People love to whine and bitch, but I wager not ONE whinger here today has been in contact with their Federal member to get an explanation. NOT-A-One! That's Aussies for you. The...

    My response to Danielle F. is EXACTLY what is called for. How dare she tell Pensioners and Seniors here that: "it's a relief to hear that the Australian government is trying to ease everyone's financial burden." That is a disgusting L-I-E ! What relief is there in half a cup of coffee a...

    Mr Dutton also supported the Misinformation and Disinformation Bill - his Party actually wrote the draft before Labor got in. And the Digital ID Bill was supported by LNP too. As far as I am concerned, they (duopoly parties) are non-starters. We need the Independents and freedom parties like...

    Hey Chief - settle down. Can't you allow someone to express an opinion against pseudo-journalism? I didn't step on your bunions, so give me some space. Who made you the judge around here? That's MY job!! :D :D

    You won't be forced to go on it. But you won't get paid until you do. But like working during covid, you won't have to take the injection ... but say goodbye to your job. That happened to me. I was forced to retire and go on aged pension. You won't be forced to have a digital ID - it is totally...

    Crawl back under your rock, Beany. Most of us are smart enough to see you are a sycophant for Labor. They can do a lot. They just Nationalised Whyalla Steel with a lazy $2.4 BILLION pulled out of the skid-marks on Albo's undies. Labor is a lazy, out-of-touch yesterday's party that was...

    Danielle F. wrote: "In a world where the cost of living seems to be perpetually on the rise, it's a relief to hear that the Australian government is trying to ease everyone's financial burden." Relief? Trying to ease? Yet $2.4 Billion to partly buy a steel company??? Danielle - instead of...

    Do not vote GREENS. If you do, you are locking in Marxism. In 3 years they will have destroyed even what you have today. They want us on Digital ID, INDUE Card, and they supported the Misinformation and Disinformation Bill, and want to take away our Freedom of Speech. They put up Teela Reid and...

    That's ridiculous. It cost blood sweat and tears to get the right to vote, and you are foolishly advocating to vote informally. I have been a scrutineer at voting booths, and I can affirm that the correct numbhers for booths are posted. Votes are counted and the totals submitted and the forms...

    Make certain that neither Labor/Greens nor LNP get control of the Senate. Choose Libertarians, One Nation or Family First, or a decent Independent candidate. Last Federal elections this was the vote: Labor 33% Liberals 32% Others 35% So we are nearly there - we do have the capacity to bring...

    It just locks in a low base rate of pension payment. Next 6 month's increase will be paid as a percentage of the base rate that will be locked in on March 20th. If they gave us an $80/fortnight increase, it would only cover what my fortnightly rent went up by. Anything less means I am further...
