    Legendary or past their prime? AC/DC face calls to step down after painful gig video

    My opinion after viewing the promotional material was horrific. Not only do they lol ridiculous the prices quoted were unbelievably excessive. I think it’s time for these old geysers to give up dressing as little boys and grow up

    Breakthrough drug price drops under PBS changes starting July

    I don’t know anyone who has CF but I am so glad that this drug which will make it easier for those who are suffering from it, has been approved

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

    I felt very sorry for Albenese having to negotiate and work with Trump after he seemed to snub him at the meeting that he urgently left (presumably to fix the War). I think Trump would be very difficult because he is so self opinionated, aggressive and appears not to be trusted or loyal...

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

    I would not want to have to deal with Trump. I felt sorry for Albo when he was ignored by Trump about reviewing the AUKAS agreement. Any dealings with this man look to be very shaky. He lies and loves to promote himself and I don’t think he would have the stamina to be loyal to anyone. So far...

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

    I would not like to be in Albo’s shoes when trying to work with Trump, as I am sure other leaders also have difficulties with his attitude. Yes we do need support from our leaders but some are easier to deal with than others. Trump has been calling the tune about making America great ever...

    Security guard chokes pensioner in hospital amid shocking safety claim

    I have only received excellent caring when I have been hospitalised. I can't fault the caring I have received when under their care. I haven’t experienced any aggressive guards except once when I was in St Paul’s in the Vatican. St the time I was leaning on a pillar because we had been...

    Retirement Villages Promise a Golden Life – But at What Cost for Older Australians?

    Sad really that given the same parenting your children turned out to be so differently needing help. It is true that you can help some too much and enable their dependence. You can only try your best and not feel guilty if possible

    Shocking truth behind empty Bunnings shelves—what they're not telling you!

    It depends on the charger. Some don’t take as long as others but it’s always a problem to wait for a charge. Not only that some smaller country towns don’t have many and we have experienced a couple being vandalised. I guess things will improve but it is a real nuisance and worry sometimes

    Hard to Handle: How Everyday Products Are Failing Older Australians

    I’ve been trying to find one like that for years without success. What type/make is it? Where can I get one??

    Major bin changes coming soon—what households should know about new fees and rollout plans

    It strikes me that everyone should have a suitable bi either for green waste or all waste. Itis necessary for us to deal with general waste collectively. Can’t imagine why this was not imposed earlier

    Thousands of Aussies were overcharged—now rules are changing for good

    Why don’t they new rules start now? What’s the point in telling us they’ll start in 12 months’ time?

    Thousands of Aussies were overcharged—now rules are changing for good

    Not much positive information in the article. When we initially got our solar panels we had a good deal. Now it’s expired and with the advent of buying an electric car I’m faced with rocketing bills. I’m between a rock and a hard place - rocketing fuel costs including high electric bills

    They lost their Centrelink payments to a fake charity—are you next?

    How wicked these people are. I am constantly aware of the possibility of being defrauded but there is always a possibility that I could be another victim. I don’t donate because of high administration costs.

    Shocking truth behind empty Bunnings shelves—what they're not telling you!

    Excellent that Bunnings is concentrating on providing accessories for electric vehicles. I don’t have one but my partner does and I have been put off with having to charge his car when we travel a good distance. It’s a nuisance having to wait to fully charge so if you can do your shopping while...

    And they ban plastic bags to put your shopping in!!! So much plastic that’s hard to open

    Hard to Handle: How Everyday Products Are Failing Older Australians

    Yes of course we should be considered when using anything. I find my kitchen scissors irreplaceable when opening all types of tin lids

    Resident-to-resident aggression is common in nursing homes. Here’s how we can improve residents’ safety

    Yes they would. I know my husband would have wanted it but unfortunately he was “not of sound mind” so wasn’t seen to be able to make such a decision… Sadly…
