    Check if you're qualified for this 'critical' cash boost from Centrelink!

    It's not April 1st. So this announcement should be placed in the Jokes and Funny Stories section of SDC. It's an embarrassment to not only the Labor people in charge of the economy, but to the so-called Opposition who think this can pass to the keeper. The Opposition should be ashamed to take...

    Getting closer ... but it's a tease ... have understood it by now. There are a dozen newbies lined up also with just one number to go! Was my birthday on Wednesday ... 5th day of 3rd month ... you'd think they'd have had some compassion ... but nooo! Note those two numbers ... the 5 and the 3...

    I'm on to your little game ... (Newby indeed!) But it doesn't seem to be bringing home the bickies yet. I'm kind of glad I'm not a financial member of this site - I can walk across the road to have a coffee (oh ... and a berry muffin) several times for what I would have spent on this !

    ‘Set to get worse’: Will a $2 billion boost fix Australia’s pensioner housing crisis?

    I no longer vote for either of the Major parties and their minor party supporters. They have not deserved my support. Every time the govt flips from Labor-to-LNP and back again, nothing changes - they are still awarding themselves massive pay hikes (and don't give me that rot about the stupid...

    ‘Set to get worse’: Will a $2 billion boost fix Australia’s pensioner housing crisis?

    Vote for change. Neither Labor nor Liberals, Greens nor Nationals have shown they have any idea what's needed. They are out of touch with the mess they have created in the Welfare system, and nor do they care. Each election we get the same rhetoric ... that they will control inflation, bring...

    So it was Dutton who flooded the country with 1.5 million immigrants, and not Labor. Well, I never!

    ‘Set to get worse’: Will a $2 billion boost fix Australia’s pensioner housing crisis?

    NO. Will be worse. Dutton has rubber-stamped every controversial Labor Bill, from the Digital ID to the Disinformation and Misinformation Bill to the Freedom of Speech curtailing. Expect no relief if Dutton arrives. LNP has never favoured welfare. They are for the Big End of Town. We need our...

    ‘Set to get worse’: Will a $2 billion boost fix Australia’s pensioner housing crisis?

    Our local invisible member (Labor) in Newcastle is getting ousted this term, according to the people I speak with. She is just a seat warmer for Labor. Unfortunately for constituents is it seen as a "safe seat" and Labor knows they can spend zilch in Newcastle and still retain this seat, while...
