    Wow, what a hard decision. What is the cost of the treatment? Is it here or overseas? Did your father and Louise say how they would pay you back or do they assume that it would be a "gift"? If so and what would be the time frame? Would they also pay for any interest that your money would...

    Funding rules shift as NDIS restructures support framework

    Our daughter is disable and lives with three others in a staffed house. Reading the things that people have charged to the NGIS in the paper yesterday is just mind boggling. It makes me wonder just how many of these false claims were done by people who "self manage" their plans. Very creative...

    Funding rules shift as NDIS restructures support framework

    First thing to do is get yourself a "Support Coordinator - this is funded through the NDIS. They will be able to help you understand what everything means. They will help you find what you need. Our daughter is disabled and we use one and also we use an accountant to pay all her bills - also...

    Revealed: The Shocking Amount of Money Spent by Australia's First Nations Ambassador on Luxury Travel and Limos!

    I watched a news report last night about an organisation in the NT started by a Dr. from Darwin. They have set up free laundry services in remote communities so that the residents have clean, sanitised clothes. This has cut the rate of scabies by up to 60%. Currently the dr. is running a...

    Shopper's shocking discovery: Disgusting find in delivery sparks outrage and disbelief

    Why would you put live FOREIGN worms into you garden. No, that would be irresponsible and introducing a new species to Australia. You would kill them and put them in a plastic bag in the rubbish. Haven't you ever watched one of those Airport Customs TV shows and what they do with insects etc.

    Agree with all the comments. Maybe you could suggest that she has her own small area of the garden, patio or somewhere that she can decorate with garden ornaments, fairy garden or things that she likes. Or maybe help her find a local ladies group that meets weekly and does crafty things. Do...

    Is your go-to rubbish bin tactic illegal? This mum's revelation sparks debate

    Well I know my comment will not go down well. Save space in your bin - easy - go back to cloth nappies like we all used years ago, No disposables, keep those for when you go out. Think of the space you will save, not to mention the cost.

    Aussies’ favourite breakfast staple under threat due to reduced production

    I always buy a local product. Yes it may be a little dearer, but I am supporting our local farmers. Stop buying imported tinned products - you have no idea how they are grown, what chemicals they use and would other countries meet Australian standards. Don't buy imported fish - fresh or...

    Proposed bill aims to fine businesses and individuals up to $25,000 for refusing cash payments

    Hope he succeeds with his act. As soon as a phone company has an outage, businesses soon put up a sign - "we welcome cash" when in the past they don't. We need to have a choice, card or cash. The more you use a credit card supermarkets and other companies know just what you spend you money...

    No, do not upgrade anything. Just make sure that everything is clean, no clutter, nice towels in the bathroom. A vase of flowers in the kitchen. The agent should realise that you are probably downsizing and why would you spend money to upgrade when all you want is to move.

    Online buyers be aware

    This happened to me as well. If I buy anything on line I use Pay Pal. I complained to them about the charge and also rang Kogan and told them I did not agree to this charge. I had a refund within a week. Complain loud and long - ring every couple of days if you don't get your refund - they...
