    TV host serves undercooked food to guest in live segment mishap

    The dish looked perfectly fine to me. Lamb chops are delicious when cooked just under and who hasn't had peas cooked in the microwave??. I would happily have eaten it whilst Dickie interviewed me

    ‘They’re already struggling’: New changes to aged care spark fear among families

    The frightening part of that article is that this has bipartisan support. What is wrong with the current parties? Both of them seem to look at pensioners and the aged as parasites instead of human beings who have paid their way and now need a little help to navigate old age and ill health. It...

    Election showdown: Housing help or tax relief—where does your vote land?

    The first one to promise that they haven't actually forgotten the aged pensioners and will actually grant them a decent cost of living increase will get my, and I think many others, vote. There are so many of us really struggling and no mention of us anywhere. The new forgotten generation.

    Federal Budget 2025-2026: What Seniors Discount Club members need-to know—by Kaye Fallick

    There is not one thing in this Budget that alters or benefits my life. My rent alone has gone up by $60/mth while my pension just went up by $9.20/mth. I get half of the electricity support that I got last year. My doctor already Bulk Bills me. Petrol goes up. Groceries go up. Everything has...

    Aussie government announces changes to the federal budget! How can seniors benefit from it?

    There is nothing in this Budget for a pensioner. Again. I still can't understand why the rich get the electricity allowance and it's half of what we got this year even though the cost of power is increasing. Childcare subsidy for people earning less than $530k a year? Why would a family earning...

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

    I dont know why everyone is complaining because we pensioners just got our massive $4.60/fortnight increase to help pay for theses increases. There may just be a slight sarcasm to my reply....what an absolute joke this Government is! My rent goes up by $60/month, groceries on a never-ending...

    Cash at risk? Seniors groups reveal shocking truth behind new mandate

    Last weekend I spent 5 days in Melbourne at a Convention. Every single transaction had to be by card (no choice) and at every transaction which accumulated to over $1000, had a 1.3% surcharge!! That is outrageous but a certainty to happen in a cashless society. Businesses will love it and so...

    State unlocks $100 million funding for its healthcare system! See how these changes can benefit senior Aussies

    Great precedent set by Qld. Come on and quickly follow suit all you other States! There is a problem in every State with elective surgery with a lot of those surgeries not deemed 'elective' by the patients suffering pain.

    Please don't complain if you're in WA! You receive a LOT more than other States for concessions and you have very cheap electricity. I would swap places with what you get in WA with what South Australians and Victorians any day!

    How one Coles customer's $72 fiasco reveals disturbing truth you need to know!

    You are incorrect in that assumption. I used to work at Golden Circle and found that they always, wherever possible, used Australian manufacturers. They were unbelievably stringent in getting their products made to their specifications. I shop at Aldi and save a lot of money. Just today I...

    Prepare your wallets: Here are several changes in the new financial year

    Not a whole lot of joy there for pensioners, is there???? Where do they think we can get the extra money just to exist? Most of us are too old and unable to work. Our costs have gone up by way more than we have seen rises to our pension. This was the very worst Budget for Pensioners, thanks to...

    Going green: Woolworths New Zealand reveals priority parking for electric vehicles

    I would much rather see more disability parking spaces in shopping centre car parks. Quite often there are no parks available for people with disabilities. Why should we reward people with EV's when there are people unable to walk far having to do so. This is a problem everywhere and with an...

    Relief for renters: Australia records biggest rent decline in 4 years, research says

    Gosh! There are many reasons why people have to rent so please don't be so smug about owning your small unit. I had property but because I had a long term sickness, I lost everything including my employment and Superannuation. I now have to rent and I'm 75 years old. It's not easy. Be happy with...
