It's become a much bigger issue only because of the "cost of living crisis". Sadly, we now live in a world of the rich getting much richer and the middle class struggling to keep themselves going and the poor getting very much poorer. In this modern era there is a thirst for more. And the only...

I don't know how much of what is out there about the couple is true or not, but if the Spare book is all truth, one wonders why he would want to go back to a family where he felt so awful growing up. According to a couple of interviews I saw of photographers who traveled with Harry in his single...

Friends in life, and friends in death. May all those that knew them find comfort in their sadness.

He always seemed to have a smile on his face. He will be sadly missed by his family and those of us who watched him in the various things he did to help people better their health.

It depends on how much you have in the account. It based on your account balance. Most people, like us, put money in there to make income out of it. We make more than $201 a month.

We have a Life Account. Don't take any money out, put in money every month, as little as $1.00 and earn bonus interest. It's helping us out in the current cost of living crisis. Rather than a term deposit, which is around the same earnings but the money is tied up, our Life Account money is...

Kate is a wife and mother first and a Princess second. She has cancer. Probably having chemo. They want to have a nice quiet time together as a family. She has already stepped back from royal duties due to C-A-N-C-E-R! She doesn't have the flu! She is ill. We have no idea if it's life...

I'm on a group on FB for pensioners and a bunch of people contact Bill Shorten's office about their late claims and he must contact Centrelink cos most of them start getting their pensions within a week or two. Go to his website and navigate to where you can fill out a form and it's sent to him.

Same here. North Queensland - one provider. Sucks!

Something is better than nothing. It could have been more, should have been more but I am grateful for the little there was. Sometimes I wonder if we have forgotten the art of being grateful. How did those who went through the Great Depression feel. Or the rationing during the World Wars. While...

Ummmmmm ... there was a thing on the news just a couple of nights ago saying that changes the government has made recently will mean there will be an increase in bulk billing availability for pensioners and other groups on welfare. I interpreted it as not for everyone, just those mentioned...

I would like to see a chart showing deaths, age bracket of the one driving if they were the one at fault, and whether they were impaired by drugs or alcohol or medical reasons etc.

I'd be happy if they leave deeming rates frozen for another 2 years.

Our house was built in part by my Hubby in that the walls were done by a bricklayer but the rest by Hubby, his Dad and his BIL with building inspectors there regularly. Block bricks inside and out, and at the time that the new rules for roofing for cyclone areas was about to come in Hubby not...

News can be found on many platforms. FB is just one of them. If something big happens it will be splashed all over the TV stations, Radio stations, YouTube stations to name some off the top of my head. There are apps and this and that.

I wish my premiums where what is written in the article. I wouldn't be complaining paying "only" a couple of thousand a year. I live in North Queensland and paying over $4000 a year. We have made 1 claim in 38 years and that was for fusion and that was like 35 years ago. Premiums go up by $800...

With the rising cost of insurance and rates and maintenance, owning a house has its costs. Our house insurance, cos we live in northern Queensland has gone up $800 a year for 3 years in a row. We pay 40% of our monthly income in house insurance and rates. And it's only going to get worse. We had...

In the past exposure would make people/businesses retract. Not anymore. We read about it but nothing changes. We are at the mercy of the government. The supermarkets. Business. Nothing will change. Not even protesting does much anymore.

Let's also not forget that deeming rates are going to be adjusted this year after being frozen for the past couple of years. Give with one hand and take with the other.

I read on the website 13 weeks before you can apply. That's what I'll do. I'm 67 next April. I'll apply in January. Hubby is on a part pension and has been for a while as he's 10 years older than I am and worked past pension age.
