    Residents demand immediate action as retirement dream turns into nightmare

    You are so correct. My father live in a "retirement village" for 23 years. He was on the pension. The property changed hands a couple of times and ended up with Lend Lease being the owners. It is a lease place not an ownership one. The fees jumped dramatically. Also I have always said from the...

    Experts question whether common kitchen staple harms heart health

    Just because they are qualified doesn't mean they know what is right. Keto is great for many. The first couple of weeks can make you feel "crook", usually electrolyte issue. Med diet does not exist. How many countries are on the Mediterranean Sea. Not sure what is bad about keto. Fruit and veg...

    Experts question whether common kitchen staple harms heart health

    Actually if you are referring to either the blue zone diet or the mediterranean diet they have both been debunked. Blue zone data was cherry picked and the mediterranean diet depends on where you live. Lots of different diets around the Mediterranean Sea. Just cut alls red oils, grains and...

    Experts question whether common kitchen staple harms heart health

    why because he doesn't have a formal qualification. Most of those with formal qualifications are told what to do and when. They really don't want us healthy they want us sick. No money in good health. I'll follow him rather than the fat and sick "qualified" people running the government health...

    Experts question whether common kitchen staple harms heart health

    Most seed oils are highly processed usually with some sort of poison. Canola is actually "Canada Oil" and paid the FDA to approve it for human consumption. It's not for human consumption. And as for butter, well best stuff in the world along with ghee and tallow. Why on earth you would want to...

    Avoid Losing 15% of Your Property Sale: The New Tax Clearance Rules Explained— by Noel Whittaker

    Actually is has applied to homes over a certain price. Now it applies to all homes sold. We had to get a certificate for our place when the contract was signed. It is about making sure that foreign buyers pay

    ‘This is looking like a new normal’: Why power prices aren’t coming down anytime soon

    Yeah it's a bit more than that. All renewables are subsidised. If they took the subsidies off they would be so expensive no one could afford them. They are also not recyclable and cost a fortune + to build them and get rid of the duds and when they fall at the 25 year mark approx. They are also...

    ‘This is looking like a new normal’: Why power prices aren’t coming down anytime soon

    Be interested to see how you go. I think the renewables are anything but good. Just another way of ripping us off

    ‘Now I am focused on my recovery’: Former Australian of the Year faces major health battle

    I have been a member of the low carb movement for years. I never got the weight loss results I wanted but saw many fix health issues by cutting right down or cutting out sugar and carbs. It's more than just anecdotal. I'm now seeing a lot of people going carnivore and even lion (meat salt and...

    ‘Now I am focused on my recovery’: Former Australian of the Year faces major health battle

    Dealing with cancer in my own family. I often wonder about the treatments. They say most are toxic. For me I'd prefer lifestyle and food changes. Some have gotten better doing this especially change of diet. Also they are finding there are some medications and treatments that can exacerbate it...

    Woolworths shopper warns others after discovering gross meat 'trick'

    So turn the packet upside down. You can pretty much see what the "hidden" meat is. Nothing wrong with a bit of extra fat just a problem if you want to pack them up for meals. Unless you have 5 people to feed with these then the 4 are great, cut the fifth one into bits. Or put it in the freezer...

    ‘Not in the spirit of sport’: Peter Dutton backs bold new stance in explosive interview

    So what has this got to do with banning trans genders from competing in particularly female sports. Nothing. We need to look at the policies not the people promoting them. Other wise we will go to hell in a basket

    Company behind famous Aussie sports brands files for bankruptcy

    I very much doubt that. The average person can't afford to buy from them along with sizing that does not go to large. The fashion industry needs a rocket under them. Size 10, skinny, lovely people who like fitting stuff are not the only people on the planet. Also for someone who lives in the...

    Is this the future of Australian housing? See what others think about this massive change

    This is certainly a problem. And as others say, add to that the lack of ability for emergency services to access the places and you have a real issue especially with a fire. Not only that the houses for the most part are built out of crap materials as stated by one architect who is quite...

    Astounding new details emerge from deadly aircraft collision as authorities investigate

    Sadly this sort of thing happens. Looking at it from an outsiders perspective but one who has lived with a military aircraft person for years, there are a number of scenarios. The previous day a civilian jet was forced to do a go round due to a helicopter being in the vicinity. This needs to be...

    ‘We have been unable to achieve a sale’: Why two popular chains are closing for good

    Yes but the choice is limited. Mostly dark colours or puffy stuff. Not suitable for older ladies. I have bought some dresses from Kmart and BigW but had to unpick the "darts" to allow for a better fit.

    We don't have Suzanne Grae or Suzanne's anywhere close. Had actually thought they had closed as well. Also no Target just a Kmart hub 60 kms away. Going to rubbish these days
