    The figures do not look correct to me. Would not be surprised if the article was AI generated as many sdc articles are wrong

    Taxed, tested, and tossed aside: The harsh reality for Australia’s older workers

    Why do you think that. If people need money they work. Look at the cleaners a nd other jobs

    Taxed, tested, and tossed aside: The harsh reality for Australia’s older workers

    A good suggestion except it does not help with cost of living expenses

    Taxed, tested, and tossed aside: The harsh reality for Australia’s older workers

    Don't think the numbers are correct. A single pension is about $28k a year. $300 a fortnight is $7800 a year. Either the person had other income or the facts are wrong.

    Not certain about cutting the NDIS as it has improved people lives. Yes, cut the rorts and red tape but people do need the support

    Opposition leader signals Centrelink cuts! Here’s what they don't want you to know

    They don't get the message. After paying taxes all your working life, some support is reasonable. Scandinavian countries have more support and the sky has not fallen in. Wait, they tax resource extraction properly

    Opposition leader signals Centrelink cuts! Here’s what they don't want you to know

    Ley would have more credibility if she proposed cutting generous corporate concessions and taxing those who can afford it. A big fallacy is the US corporate tax rate. Conveniently overlooked is nearly all US states levy a Corporate tax rate of about 8% which is in addition to the US federal...

    What this Sydney bloke criticised will have you checking your bank balance twice

    I can't find decent comfortable shoes and usually finish up paying about that much. I do walk about 6km a day and have an injured foot full of metal pins.

    What this Sydney bloke criticised will have you checking your bank balance twice

    This person needs to stop interfering. He is being arrogant and trying to dictate how others behave and manage their finances. If it bothers him that much he should have offered to pay for the shoes as a gift as he can probably afford it.

    When doctors dismiss your pain: One woman's five-year battle reveals Australia's hidden healthcare crisis

    ???? Why do you think I felt I was being criticised?. I was merely pointing out that many issues where women are the victims there are also male victims. These sort of issues are more widespread than people realise. Saying it is only discrimination against women ignores the underlying problem...

    When doctors dismiss your pain: One woman's five-year battle reveals Australia's hidden healthcare crisis

    That is terrible and my sympathies to the person. However why does everyone think it is only women who experience these attitudes from the medical profession. I am male and have struck it many times including with asthma and have finished up with severe pneumoniae due to medical inaction...

    The great dunny debate: Why more Aussie blokes are taking a seat (and why that might be smart)

    A topic like this always brings out the ignorant bigots

    The great dunny debate: Why more Aussie blokes are taking a seat (and why that might be smart)

    Don't need to watch. Any toilet at work, or public toilet is enough evidence.

    The great dunny debate: Why more Aussie blokes are taking a seat (and why that might be smart)

    Most males cannot aim and are lousy shots. Much cleaner if they sit

    Stop wasting time at Woolies! Discover the secret tip shoppers wish they knew sooner

    What app? Woolworths want you to use one app for rewards, another for bws, and another for shopping. They have 3 or 4 apps in the store. I also find products move or layout variations in different stores.

    These jobs will thrive – but others may vanish

    It has been difficult for years to contact anyone in a large organisation, as the automated system cannot handle any complex queries and never transfers a caller to a person. Now it will be impossible.

    The government has asked for bold proposals. Maybe it’s time to consider taxing the family home

    This article is very badly written. Too many unexplained terms, what is income from owner occupied housing? What is meant by including housing value in the pension test if you have nowhere else to live? Unrealised capital gains, how can you pay them if you have not sold the asset? For...

    Owning a home used to be a milestone…now it’s a miracle—here’s why

    The problem is the federal government decides immigration numbers, but regardless of immigration numbers the states get no extra money for schools hospitals housing etc.
