    Researcher claims discovery of historical figure's tomb beneath ancient site

    Where's the "Ha Ha" button? There's zero chance the texts mentioning mountains all mean this man-made pyramid. As for whether the scans have detected man-made objects, how that can be construed as supporting his imaginative views is ludicrous.

    Proposed Medicare reforms spark discussions online. Can these proposals help Aussie seniors' healthcare concerns?

    Yeah right. $7 to see a GP is so like in the US - NOT! And since Labor wouldn't do anything real to support General Practice, we pay $40 odd dollars extra out of pocket. And that's supposed to be a better deal than $7? Get real SDC.

    No-cost GP clinic shuts down, leaving thousands stranded without care

    Like hell it is. The government fund it from our taxes, & it is shonky underinsurance even then. The only reason they spruik it is because people don't get it, focussing on getting something supposedly for free, & so it's a vote-winner.

    No-cost GP clinic shuts down, leaving thousands stranded without care

    What do you expect for $41 rebate? They call it universal health insurance, & the government spruik Medicare shamelessly, but only insure us for less than half what it costs. What other businesses can survive on over 50% discount?

    Senior loses $400K after massive super fund cyberattack

    Some of the funds mentioned do not have 2 factor identification available. I have it with my Super company, & though it takes a bit longer to receive & enter the extra numbers, I think it's worth it. And has anyone else noticed a spike in facebook messenger requests from "friends" saying "Hey...

    Trump’s latest move could change medicine prices—here’s what you need to know

    In fact the Australia Institute is left oriented & funded, half the drugs are NOT commonly prescribed in Australia (rather cherry-picked for the largest discrepancy), & the dollars are dodgy - the $31.60 is the patient co-payment maximum - the drugs actually cost the PBS more, but then the gap...

    Trump’s latest move could change medicine prices—here’s what you need to know

    This article contains quite a few inaccuracies. For instance you write, "Australia’s system allows generics to be listed on the PBS quickly, ensuring lower prices for consumers sooner", but unless you mean Private prescriptions (so NOT PBS) then we the public are NOT the consumers. The PBS is...

    Aussie couple faces cruise nightmare during long-awaited getaway

    Medicare does NOT in fact cover Australians off-shore on cruises. You should always take out travel insurance.

    Politician shocks radio hosts with lifelong avoidance of popular drink: 'I just can't'

    I put on a little weight & cut the sugar out of my coffee near 35 years ago & discovered coffee tastes yuk! Stopped it & never noticed any reduction in alertness nor withdrawal symptoms so never went back. I've developed (benign) palpitations recently so would have needed to cut out caffeine...

    Controversial parade moment sparks outrage as debate over funding heats up

    The opening sentence states, "A long-celebrated event brings the city to life with a vibrant display of inclusivity and diversity." Well clearly it is NOT inclusive of everyone. Christ is unwelcome. Why would that be do you reckon? With such rank hypocrisy, why should they expect, yet alone...

    The government pledges $644 million for healthcare. See what could change for the future

    How can you tell when a politician's lying? His lips are moving. And shame on SDC for uncritically spewing up this media release full of spin. What are you, paid Labor advertisers? Where's the balance? This health minister is on record for saying his conscience won't let him increase our...

    Akta-vite

    Akta-Vite tasted way better & more cholatey, in hot or cold milk, than Milo. Then the makers changed formula when health star ratings were coming out which tasted awful, lost market share & went out of production. Shot themselves in the foot there! What a waste.

    Wow, NSW are behind. I live in a minor rural shire & we've had this bin for several years already.

    Federal Government boosts healthcare budget amid calls for reforms

    Really SDC, you need to stop printing government media releases as if they are gospel-truth! This is spin, pure & simple. Every 5 years until now the Feds & States negotiate a new "5 Year Agreement" on Hospital (State run) funding. In fact, Albo & Butler FAILED to get the deal done (even with...
