I don't know where you worked, but there were definitely no union trade offs etc for people on the basic wage or unskilled labour. Yes people on salary packages have their super included in their wages, but that isn't everyone. And most people on salary packages earn reasonable money and with...

Stupid decisions IMO , the additional cost of wages to businesses, who are already struggling, is ridiculous. There are already enough public holidays. Typical Labor brainwave. Along with his racetrack, which the majority of people don't want,costing millions of dollars that could be spent on...

Great effort, you should be proud of yourself. A basic 4x2 behind a home I recently sold had taken 5.5 years to complete. It would sit idle for months between different stages.

What backward and hypocritical thinking on the part of builders and the Master Builder's Assiciation. They have no qualms about dreaming up extras, e.g.powder rooms, theatre rooms, butler's pantry. etc adding astronomical increases in the cost of new build homes but are worried about the cost...

I totally agree with a lot you said. Through hard work and saving I have owned my own home since my late 40s. The only statement that most people seem to forget is that the 12% superannuation is being paid by their employers, not them. I was in business when superannuation was first...

It is not only the shortage of contractors or the high cost of materials that are causing these problems Many smaller builders while good at what they do, they are not so good when it comes to finances. I know of three builders who declared bankruptcy due to the fact that they book up all their...

I did do this many years ago, but luckily I did not try to raise the bird myself. I actually went to the vet and he put me in touch with a local bird rescue. The people from the bird rescue did explain to me about the hierarchy of magpies and that they can even be killed by other magpies when...

While we all sit around saying the fine wasn't enough, people should be sacked, more should be done, etc we should all wake up. I'm not an ANZ bank customer, nor do I bank with any of the Big 4 banks. The power is in our hands, without customers the banks are out of business. Without our money...

It could be worse. We could have Trump

My mother in law had a lot of funny sayings, trouble being I've forgotten most of them. As she got older she got dementia and lapsed back into talking Italian, forgetting that my italian was pretty slim. I never was any good at French at school, my worst subject. Mum would often talk to me...

Well you can stop talking your meds for high blood and cholesterol if you want, if you think you know better than the Drs. and take your chances. That's anybody's prerogative. Many, many people die from heart attacks and strokes caused by one or both, I guess they either didn't know or they...

I wasn't talking about dementia, I was talking about stopping your cholesterol meds and my mother-in-law had a stroke about 18 months later caused by high cholesterol. Just because you are fine for years means that your meds are working. This is the same with people with problems like bipolar...

Reseaech states that the blood brain barrier keeps the cholesterol in your brain completely seoarate from the cholesterol circulating in your body. That would be why your Dr went ape . High cholesterol that can affect your heart has nothing to do with your brain cholestrrol. My brother in law...

I hope so, a bit sad to think somebody is that silly.

My daughter in law has five papillons. They live on 120 acres. They also have six cats, ten rabbits and a large amount of poultry . All the animals are well taken care of. The rabbits are properly caged, so they don't attack people when they visit and can't be a RISK TO PUBLIC SAFETY. What a...

I beg your pardon. You're joking, aren't you?? Harry does not even have a Univerdity degree. When and where did he become a medical specialist. He did 10 months of officer commissioning training at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. Do you have any idea how long it takes to become a...

Yes, it's terrible isn't it. I hear Australia's reputation has dropped dramatically in a world wide survey. It's a bloody shirt, not an earth shattering event. Get real!

It's a shirt for heaven's sake. And I guess you've never made a "stuff up" in your life, as you're so quick to throw stones.

So cute.😍

I know, pathetic. With all the crap that's going on in the world, this is the best they can do.
