    Payments jump delivers welcome financial relief for pensioners

    It's interesting that the electricity has gone up more but we are all getting alot less this year across the nation in rebates, I wonder how they decide that and yet the cost of living across all aspects has continued to rise and make life tough for most. There appears to be no rhyme or reason...

    Today’s receipts are twice as long...but half as useful! Here's what's missing

    It's all very well having these apps on your phone and storing receipts etc but how long before your phone no longer operates as efficiently as it used to. The more stuff on it the more problems you seem to get as far as I am concerned. You need to keep phones cleared of all this extra clutter...

    Your age pension could drop by $203 a fortnight: Major deeming rate changes hit 460,000 Australians

    Those above 1.5million and higher I doubt would qualify for the pension so it would not matter what the deeming rate is. I could be wrong, I haven't looked it up but pretty sure I am roughly right.

    Your age pension could drop by $203 a fortnight: Major deeming rate changes hit 460,000 Australians

    Definitely should bring politicians in line with everyone else before hitting the more vulnerable age group. Shame on them. In reality they are probably making sure they can keep funding themselves.

    Aeroplane toilets found to carry five dangerous pathogens entering Australia

    Another reason to stay at home I reckon. I don't take antibiotics often but would absolutely hate to end up with something that couldn't be touched with one or two courses of antibiotics. You hear of people's lives unravelling who this happens to, not a happy thought.

    Palace stuns royal watchers with error in Princess Anne’s birthday tribute

    Princess Anne certainly pulls her weight always and calls a spade a spade. Good on her, need more like her. A shame she did not have more imput in Andrew's upbringing, he may have turned oyt differently.

    Woolworths slashes prices on 100+ staples—starts in a few days!

    It's still not enough, shopping in general keeps going up no matter how careful you are. I pretty much buy similar products. I like certain things and look for the cheapest or best options across Aldi Coles and 5hen Woolworths. I won't buy much fruit or veg from my local Aldi as it is not upnto...

    From palace to prison? A royal faces rape charges that could lock him away for a decade

    At least he is being prosecuted and made to answer for possible charges which is more than can be said for the English royal family. You have to respect them for that.

    MasterChef star’s ambitious restaurant ends in heartbreaking failure

    Unfortunately the time and effort it takes to make the masterpieces means straight away they are really expensive and out of the reach of many everyday Australians especially when there is a cost of living crisis going on and can't see it ending anytime soom unfortunately. There is no doubt he...

    Stop wasting time at Woolies! Discover the secret tip shoppers wish they knew sooner

    I think the layout in all woolworths and all Coles should be similar so if you have to venture into a different store for some reason you will be pretty much at home and know where to find everything but they don't do that at all. What about looking after what suits their customers

    Woman behind fake cancer scam faces justice after deceiving dozens

    She and people like her absolutely get my goat and I am delighted to hear she has to pay back the money as often they don't. Yes as Suzanne Rose says Karma will come knocking and she deserves it to pray on vulnerable people is just not on. And unfortunately there are so many people like her...

    MasterChef star’s ambitious restaurant ends in heartbreaking failure

    Ronald is certainly able to produce amazing food creations so I am sure he will do well. It is always a shame when things go into liquidation but fingers crossed he works through this.

    Shoppers face new safety fears amid surge in armed robberies

    They change the laws but it is always months or years ahead. I don't understand why it can't be brought in as soon as it's legislated especially when we are talking about people's safety and lives. And these judges who let these dangerous idiots off with a slap on the wrist should be sacked...

    Are you making this supermarket delivery mistake everyone is talking about

    I remain thankful I can go and do my own shopping and don't have any of these hassles. I know a lot of people use online and have no problems but some people have endless problems and aren't happy with their produce. I watch the staff picking orders and they don't look for the best, they just...

    ‘Rolling in his grave’: Outrage over new price of iconic treat

    I really think that regardless of price they should retain their size. They can't keep going down so they need to just keep them at a decent snack size and be done with it.

    Are you making this embarrassing deed every time you shop for groceries?

    I watched a couple of well dressed private school teenage males eating the free fruit in Coles one day and kept coming back for more. You would gather if the parents could afford private school they could afford fruit. But the staff didn't stop them at all. Too bad if younger children came in...
