    Retirees are outraged by new changes that could leave them without enough income

    Proves that politicians, including the 31st P.M. lied during the election campaign. No integrity, no values, no principles!

    2022-3 Federal Budget: What does it mean for you?

    Politics aside, the reality is that those on fixed incomes continue to fall behind. Electricity, groceries, petrol& the added costs of everything else means that something has to give. I have been in this situation before, heat or eat. I chose to eat. Medications or petrol, I had to choose...

    Woolworths customers are fuming over this 'constant' issue – do you agree?

    Just back from the fortnightly shop. Woolies only had one manned checkout open as is now the norm. I am in my 70’s & not going through self serve doing the work for Woolies! Agree too with the comment regarding staff blocking aisles filling shelves or busy completing click & collect orders...

    Coles supermarket addresses ‘terrible’ experience at a self-serve checkout

    It is the same at Woolworths. One manned checkout forcing customers to self serve check outs. However, if I have a very big fortnightly shop, I want to use a manned check out! Most staff are running around aisles completing online orders or click & collect orders. When the queue at the...

    Don't ignore back pain: X-rays reveal the importance of seeing a doctor right away

    I had bad back pain from around 18 years of age. Finally, at 34 I mentioned it to my GP. X-Rays indicated that as a teenager I had contracted a virus which affected the growth plates. This led to calcification & the growth of osteophytes pressing on nerves! Very painful. I was told to keep...

    The heart-wrenching story of a tradie who only has six months to live after his hairdresser spotted a potentially deadly mole

    I am so sad for this young man. It does underline though that if you are not satisfied with a doctors’s opinion, get that second or third opinion. I had to go to six doctors over an 18 month period to find one who did not treat me like a “neurotic female”. It turned out I was suffering from...

    Poll: Do you think Australia should become a republic?

    AustralIa will eventually become a Republic but it is who chooses our Head of State & changes to the Constitution which need to be determined by ALL. I am perfectly sure that there is already a short list for our first “President” . The ARM is looking just for the YES mandate. Then they &...

    Discontinued Aussie snacks we want back!

    We had the equivalent of the Sunnyboys in England when I was growing up. They were also in a tetra pak & called Jubillees. We would continue eating them behind our desk lids during class!

    New checkout technology in Woolies supermarkets - have you seen them already?

    No such changes at our regional Woolworths store but there has been a noticeable change regarding checkouts over the last 3 months. There is only ever ONE manned checkout open! Customers are forced to go through self-serve checkout or “encouraged” to shop online with delivery payment or opt...

    Thousands of viewers were left feeling uncomfortable after Today host Karl Stefanovic took aim at Meghan Markle during the Queen's funeral

    I stopped watching the morning shows long ago! Some of the commentary was pathetic & some definitely prejudiced. The ABC became far too woke, far-left & virtue signalling for my taste. I watch Sky Regional. Their coverage of the Queen’s funeral was respectful. As a British citizen it was...

    Why one Aussie had to rely on Private Health Insurance to receive prompt medical attention

    I do not have phi. I simply can no longer afford it. I did have phi for many years but as a single taxpayer & with the Medicare levy & bracket creep I was paying more tax than billionaires on a basic salary! I gave it up in my mid 50’s. I was told in 2020 that I required surgery to remove a...
