    Sunrise panel heats up as guests clash—Nat Barr steps in to calm debate

    Then what would you call it!! It was exactly the same as what Russia did to Ukraine. America was not under any immediate threat and Israel had already damaged some of Iran's nuclear facilities, killing some of their high military personnel and nuclear scientists. This is Israel's war. The only...

    58,000 Aussies in caravans get payment clarity under Centrelink’s latest update

    I agree. I have used their financial service officer on a few occasions over the years. Their advice is free and very helpful and at least you know where you stand after talking to them. Much better than paying a financial adviser who , I have found, are not always clued up on all Centrelinks...

    Retired, caring, and counting: What Carer Allowance means for older Aussies

    I know exactly what you mean. Anything to do with an enquiry to your benefit seems to take forever. However, when my husband passed away, they were ever so efficient. Only a few weeks previously, after trying to get thru on the phone for about 4 weeks, I drove one and a half hours to the...

    Retired, caring, and counting: What Carer Allowance means for older Aussies

    It's exhausting having to deal with these government departments and I can sympathise with those who may not have the stamina or perhaps the education required to manage to find their way through their complicated systems and in fact their inefficiency. Losing paperwork is their forte they...

    Shoppers trash store aisles, leave Kmart staff to clean up mess

    Yes. Gets so boring having to remind people that new people join all the time and they are not the only pebble on the beach. Just scroll past if you've already read it, it's not so hard.

    Bunnings item solves laundry drying troubles with clever foldaway find

    I can't stand wet washing hanging around, not in the house, no lines on the patio. Definitely not on the front verandah, where my neighbour hangs hers. My solution, I invested in a Bosch 8 star heat pump dryer. It costs next to nothing to run. So when the weather is not good enough to dry...

    Are you breaking this unspoken Aussie rule without even realizing it? Many residents are fed up!

    Yes city people are just as bad. I have two little dogs and both my gates have signs on them requesting people to please shut. Years ago, I had a little puppy who was run over and killed because some moron didn't bother to shut the gate. Recently I had a plumber working for me who kept...

    It’s 'all but certain’: Why some economists believe relief is finally coming for your mortgage

    Oh, what great news for pensioners . Not only will those of us who have investments have our interest rates cut but come September we can look forward to a whole $1 rise in our pensions if the last increase is anything to go on. I wish someone could explain how when it's time for pension rises...

    ‘Our human rights will be denied’: Could this law lead to unequal policing?

    They can have a few drinks without getting inebriated and making a public nuisance of themselves. Thousands of people do it every day. I would have thought that if your homeless, etc you would have more important things to worry about without wasting money on getting inebriated in public and...

    ‘Our human rights will be denied’: Could this law lead to unequal policing?

    I was going to say similar, except that I do agree that there are many places where white people are constantly inebriated and a larger police presence is definitely required, eg ,Northbridge in Perth. However as far as the other issues thst were raised If you don't want to be arrested for...

    Sunrise panel heats up as guests clash—Nat Barr steps in to calm debate

    I am well aware of the threat Iran was and still is. But if you believe that threat is gone you are the one that is brain washed. Iran may not have the capacity to declare war, but they are masters of terrorism. Obviously you don't know that Trump pulled the US out of that agreement during his...

    Yes, of course patients have rights and they can leave any time they like as long as they sign the appropriate paperwork. This seems to be a different scenario. The gentleman said himself that he is hard of hearing and apparently couldn't understand what they were saying . So his response was to...

    Sunrise panel heats up as guests clash—Nat Barr steps in to calm debate

    Do you not listen. He has praised Putin on many occasions. Though, as usual, he has now changed his tune since the penny has finally dropped and he is starting to realise that Putin has been playing him for a fool. Putin doesn't want peace and Trump has only made this worse by pulling...
