    Dedication to Queen Elizabeth II

    A wonderful tribute Maddie. I just could not think of a better picture than a handsome Duke, in his naval uniform, waiting at the gates of Heaven😇 to take her in to meet the God she served. She fulfilled her vows to serve her people on earth with extraordinary fidelity. She was a “good and...

    Largest pension increase in more than 12 years announced as the cost of living soars

    Grateful to taxpayers for any increase. It will help cover the extra monies already paid out since election on food & energy. So the BOOT ( better off overall test) of Labor does not apply. Sorry Labor is still going on about the Trillion dollars of debt it inherited. What would Labor have...

    Albanese pushes for Australia to 'ditch' the Queen and become a republic: 'It is inevitable'

    When the Queen does pass away I sincerely hope that those politicians pushing for a Republic are not the ones attending her funeral on the taxoayer dime! They are like vultures waiting on the sideline for her to die! All this twaddle about Australia being “mature & independent enough” now to...

    Albanese pushes for Australia to 'ditch' the Queen and become a republic: 'It is inevitable'

    As an expat Brit may I point out that Australia can become a republic without leaving the Commonwealth. Comments referring to “how” the Brits allegedly thought about Aussies are neither here or there in a modern day debate. I’d like a dollar for all the rude Pommie B……d comments I’ve heard in...

    Meghan Markle draws flak in a recent tell-all interview after comparison with Nelson Mandela: 'She's just full of it'

    In her recent two podcasts with Serena & Mariah, our poor Meghan managed to manipulate the conversation back to her! Meghan is so insecure! She is, I think a narcissist. She wants privacy, yet avoids it. She is litigious in nature & will eventually end up in the courts seeking alimony from...

    Spread the word! The BEST (and cheapest) home brand peanut butter

    I prefer Mayver’s peanut butter! It is $5 a jar but natural & NOT SWEET like most other brands! Peanut butter & Vegemite is nice together for those of us with a ‘fat” tooth!

    Angry Canberran shoppers teach an inconsiderate driver a lesson after they park across two spaces!

    It is annoying when people park incorrectly but I do agree that street parking can be worse! In my suburb each household seems to have multiple cars and/or trucks. This means that large trucks, extra wide trailers & machinery such as bobcats & diggers line the streets. It’s like living in an...

    CEOs earning 85 times more than the average pensioner? Outrageous disparity in earnings revealed!

    If I did not have a private rental agreement I would definitely be one of those older single women who would become homeless. I am able to manage on the single pension but only because there are many things I do without. All due bills & rent are paid first, then I know what I have left. I buy...

    Who was the Somerton Man? Professor claims to have SOLVED one of Australia’s greatest mysteries

    Whatever the circumstances I am pleased that he now has a name. No one should die alone in unknown circumstances & no identity. May he Rest In Peace.

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

    Lack of staff at checkouts is the norm nowadays. It is frustrating to spend 15 minutes waiting at the only manned checkout with half a dozen other people. If you are doing a large fortnightly shop, self service plus bag packing is not an option! I agree with others, I am not an employee &...

    ALDI to offer smaller trolleys in all stores – a welcome move for customers

    As another with short shanks, I’m pleased at the news. Sometimes I almost have to fall into the bigger trolley to get things out at the checkout!

    Blackouts imminent in THREE Australian states as ELECTRICITY CRISIS deepens

    Well we had a 3 hour blackout on Tuesday evening. The reality is that without a COMPLETE rewiring of the grid which would cost $1 trillion according to the CSIRO REPORT, the answer is NUCLEAR. Small Nuclear Reactors can be inserted into the grid & USE the current infrastructure. These SMR’s...

    Will Australia become a republic? Governor-General says there is a possibility

    Yes, Australia WILL become a Republic eventually. However, it will require Australians NOT to be CONNED by those who will have the expectation of DECIDING the Head of State. This needs to be decided by ALL AustralIan’s, NOT a self-styled elitist cohort! There is a great deal of...

    Doctors urge government to reform outdated Medicare system, warns quality health care may become inaccessible to millions of Australians

    There is a subtle but very real change in access to medical care after one reaches 70. I am grateful that my G P bulk bills but access to specialist care takes months of waiting. Often it ends up as a Telehealth call & a “wait & see” approach to treatment based on a “ risk or benefit”. As I...

    Royal experts slam Prince Harry for snubbing the Queen and the Royal Family during his new tell-all interview — “His arrogance knows no bounds!”

    Prince Harry is besotted with Meghan. She is pulling the strings here! Harry needs to consider that the Queen is 96 & May pass away BEFORE he swallows his pride, pays for his own security & brings his children to England to see their Great grandmother! The other side of this coin is Meghan’s...

    Woolworths accused of being "too woke" on social media – do you agree or not?

    Share the Dignity is a great project for Woolworths to be involved in. Catering to the woke minority by refusing to use the word women to describe those who menstruate is nothing more than Political Correctness. There are, according to the ABS, only 1360 individuals Nationally who are men who...
