    Better Late Than Never? Why Delaying Your Age Pension Claim Could Cost You Thousands

    I applied for the aged pension a number of times and sent through the necessary information they asked me for. Was told they had everything they needed and were working on it. Next communication said the time had run out, the paperwork didn't arrive and I had to apply again. This went on over...

    Aussies skip life’s basics as new report reveals what’s being sacrificed to make ends meet

    If all the politicians took a 5% pay cut and used it to help the less fortunate then no-one would need to struggle.

    Beachgoers Shocked by 200kg Discovery—What Every Aussie Needs to Know Before Their Next Visit

    I don't go to the beach anymore but when I walk my dog, I'll pick up any rubbish I see. I get disgusted and ashamed of people who drop their litter right next to the rubbish bins instead of just lifting up the lid

    What Was Hidden Inside 62,000kg of Thai Food That Landed This Woman in Jail?

    If she wanted this type of food to be available then she should have told people where they could go, in her country, to try them. If you come to Australia, you eat food that is grown or produced here

    Could this promising new pill change life with diabetes? Human trials starting soon!

    It's a brilliant innovation if it's shown to work. I know someone who has type 1 diabetes but is afraid of needles so she gets her parents or goes to the hospital and asks them to do it for her. No more worries for her if this is approved.

    ‘I neglected the symptoms’: What this Olympian’s journey can teach us all about ageing well

    My late husband did just that. He ignored the fact that he found it hard to swallow. In the end it got so bad I forced him to see the doctor. Within 10 minutes the doctor had him on his way to the hospital 3 hours away (by ambulance) and the next morning they took him to surgery and found he had...

    Mum loses $5,000 after flight booking mistake others still make today

    These scammers need to be caught, lined up and their bank accounts emptied and their homes, cars and anything else they own sold and the money given to everyone they have ripped off.

    It’s been nearly a year since he burned a baby—why hasn’t he been caught?

    I hope they find him and throw the book at him. Such a callous act for no good reason.

    One mum. One child. One charging cassowary—Could this happen on your street?

    The only native animals we get are kangaroos which will move away as soon as they see or hear you and snakes. The kangaroos we get are wild, never fed or touched by anyone so won't come at you. My place is fenced off but one morning my dog was barking non stop. When I looked outside, she had her...

    Can't go through one day without a cuppa? Here's a reason to slow down on caffeine

    Such a tragic loss that could have possibly been avoided if the ambulance crew could have got to her. Since she said she was on the floor and couldn't get up, she should have been a high priority anyway. Not the ambulance or paramedics fault though and I hope none of those involved blame themselves.

    Hopetoun on WA's south coast will stop free camping, citing rubbish complaints

    I agree with the closure of the free camping grounds. If people would just do the right thing then this wouldn't have become an issue. The people that just throw their rubbish and leave faeces everywhere probably wouldn't want to stay somewhere that others have done the same thing. $15 is a fair...

    Shoppers share concerns over produce prices in Australia. Is it time to remove this staple from your shopping list?

    It's not possible to get Farmer's Picks where I live and it's not worth growing tomatoes just for 2 so I'll buy a couple of tomatoes and they can last a whole week. Luckily it's too cold to have salads so just use them in sandwiches or tins of tomatoes for casseroles
