    Slash your doctor's bills with this huge $189 million Medicare change!

    I wish the headline in the email that comes, whenever it's about this kind of thing it would make the note that it's for a certain State AND NOT for all Australians. Then I wouldn't need to click to read and find out it doesn't affect my State.

    Powering up relief: Premier’s $116 million plan aims to lighten the load for social housing residents

    When people are in Opposition they are the ones who will right all the wrongs until .... they get into power and then they make the same mess and very little changes.

    From energy bills to transport costs: $300 to $1,672 rebates and relief measures across Australia

    Rightly said. Bribes for votes. The verbal insults of anti LNP or LABOUR by people everywhere including here blaming one party verses the other party. Once in they all end up going the same way and the economy doesn't get any better. My opinion: don't expect any great improvement by either...

    Save big at Coles as the supermarket's cheese blocks go on sale

    Wish there was a Aldi here but alas unless we drive a round trip of 276 km we're stuck with Coles and Woolies. So any savings would be eaten up with the cost of the petrol to get there and back.

    My hubby is a cheese lover and prefers the Coles Tasty cheese over Woolies so he'll be a happy boy. My issue is: I'd love to see the supermarkets lower pricers on what I call healthy staples. Things like fruit and vegetables, meat and chicken, milk etc ... WITHOUT passing it on and paying...
