    As it so happens I have won first prize in Lotto once after it had jackpotted 3 times, I had to share it with 2 others. It was the Pony Club Lotto at a hotel in Rockhampton on Friday nights. I received $1700 & 17 cartons of beer which I exchanged with a bloke for a tinny. I could take my two...

    Say goodbye to cords! Here’s why more Aussies are switching to 5G home internet

    My brother has been with Telstra for several years while I’m with Optus. People in his area get intermittent Internet connection over the last 5 years except on Saturday afternoon from roughly 12.00pm to 5.00pm when it works fine ie from the first horse race to the last then it goes off again...

    ‘Pack of hyenas’: $130,000 gone in moments in a chilling scam you should watch out for

    It’s called ‘recycling’, but I’m surprised the Govt hasn’t put a ‘protection order’ on feral cats as they have on other apex predators like crocodiles & sharks so that animal habitats are artificially distorted to the detriment of natural fauna and the extinction of species. Meow meow dim sims…...

    Is YOUR retirement at risk? What wealthy Aussies are asking about Albanese's new super tax laws

    Somehow I don’t think the lower threshold of $3M is static. Once implemented that figure will eventually include all Super. At the other end of the scale, once we become a ‘cashless’ society all transactions become transparent and taxable…’cash-in-hand’ payments for work will not exist. Another...

    Retired and still worried about money? A new superannuation change is sparking fresh fears

    ‘We’ve got a mandate for that change,’ Treasurer Jim Chalmers said.… I hardly think 34% of the primary vote is a ‘mandate’ for such wide changes. Meanwhile, the Liberal Party gathers pace as it rushs toward the cliffs edge. The old saying ‘the Government is only as good as the opposition’ rings...

    My cardiologist said to me last time I saw him ‘any alcohol is a toxin that directly affects the heart muscle’… and I enjoyed beer, wine, whisky & gin. I had an Ejection Fraction of 26% with a defibrillator fitted and cardiac rehab it has increased to 46% (normal is 55%- 60%…. Have one for me!

    Mum rallies locals to push for changes in her state: 'I think it would make a huge difference'

    I remember years ago on the first day of school at a Catholic Primary school in Bridge Rd in Mackay a little one being hit by a bus and killed… tragic enough. But the very next day at the same school another on a bike as he left the school. If the speed limit says 20kmph that’s a maximum not a...

    Advocacy group finds cat fur clothing sold in Victoria despite import ban

    It’s disgusting that cat fur is being imported into Australia in garments when we have 100000’s of feral cats destroying our native fauna that could be caught and processed here.

    Australians are pushing back on tipping—where do you stand?

    I don’t know why overseas workers are relying on tips when the cost of the meals are exorbitant compared to Australia. Eg the great equaliser when comparing prices in any country is the Big Mac… in London typically £5 in Aust around $5… twice the price in London. I think the unions there are not...

    Australians are pushing back on tipping—where do you stand?

    Was in the Savoy Hotel in Rockhampton years ago having a beer with a mate when a stripper started walking along the top of the bar dripping hot candle wax onto her breasts. She would squat down and pull blokes faces into the candle wax. She got to me, I leaned back so she couldn’t get my face...
