When I told them it was their property, not mine, I was told in no uncertain terms that there is some local govt legislation that makes it my responsibility to maintain & that if I didn't mow it they would lay some charge against me & I would end up in court!!! Shortly after all this I asked...

The local council will be at your door before you die if you let the grass grow. Believe me, I know as I have had them chasing me because I didn't mow the "footpath" - right to the verge of the tar strip down the middle of this country road. I said to my neighbour that I was just going to kill...

I have spent the last 9 months (since my aged care plan was approved but not yet financed) researching companies which operate in my area to see who are the robbers & who are genuinely doing their best to help. In fact, I met with a company just moving into the area a couple of weeks ago to see...

First thing, you can get your cataracts removed at a public hospital at no cost. I know, because I have had them removed from both of my eyes with no hospital cost, just a smaller fee to the specialist for pre- & post-surgery review. Couples pensions are not meant to be divided & each carry...

I'm 84 & don't have a family. Sure, I have nieces & nephew on the other side of the country but they have their own families to care for & should not be responsible for my care plus only o& ne of them ever makes contact by phone with me (& that is only on rare occasions). I have worried for a...

I'm not sure how big Mildura is, but I have to go to Dubbo (NSW) & while it is a city, it is still a regional city & nowhere near as big as cities on the coast. I think he just wants to use one provider & not do his research to find anyone else. I went to Dubbo Base Hospital & asked the girls...

Specialists can get a direct link with Medicare so that the patient pays the fee at the surgery, the details are immediately relayed to Medicare & the rebate is in the patient's bank account the next day. So, the Dr does not wait 90 days for payment (as stated above) & the patient doesn't have...

Unfortunately for those who regularly get caught speeding, cruise control doesn't really work in residential areas where you are constantly stopping or, at least, slowing down requiring the resetting of cruise control after each time you apply the brakes. For those of us lucky enough to live in...

This is poorly written. It talks as if 1 Nov 2025 is in the past & that the new programme is already active. As far as my poor, old, (probably decrepit if the govt had any say in it) brain knows, 1 Nov 2025 is still nearly 6 weeks away. "Have you or your loved ones faced challenges under...

In all my years on this earth, I have only ever gone into Sussan's once & walked out again without even trying anything on. The clothes were horrible & definitely not fashionable. Should I look again when next I am in Dubbo? Maybe. Maybe not. Trouble is, there is hardly anywhere else to buy...

What a lousy sentence for such an horrendous crime. She preyed on the emotions of hundreds of people to get a lot of money & all she gets is a 2 month sentence!! Shame on the judge who sentenced her.

These stupid chatbots are not only appearing in banks but after a recent computer upgrade one appeared on my lists of friends on facebook!! I had a long "argument" with this thing telling it to get off my computer, that it was only a bot, that it couldn't think etc., all while it was telling me...

So why do we have to wait until the end of next year for these changes to take place? Energy companies could implement them NOW if the govt had the guts to force them to act. I know they are supposed to tell you if there is a better deal available now but it doesn't always happen. A couple of...

I heard the other day (from a Home Care Provider) that the new plan has been deferred yet again & won't be available until next year - probably March 2026. Meanwhile it appears that all new packages have been frozen until this happens & we wait & wait & wait for the help we need NOW.

So glad I didn't read all this story. Bindi & Robert spend all their time trading on their father's name. I am so sick of the Irwins I wish they would all go to America & stay there so I didn't have to hear or see more of their antics to gain more publicity.

If it sounds too good to be true, you know that it's not true.

I'm in north-west NSW where even today we had a frost. I can no longer carry wood up the stairs & inside to keep a fire going so - no fire. That means all I have is a.c. & that's too expensive to run all day & night. During winter, when I got up I turned the a.c. on until 7 a.m. when the...

I agree with your doctor, as should every nurse in a hospital or aged care facility. They are trained to save lives, not end them. It is not reasonable for anyone to expect their doctor and/or nurse to assist them in dying. If this continues then we will have a huge loss of nurses & doctors...

If you believe all that twaddle you must believe in fairies & Santa. Doctors who are not part of Trump's followers have a very different story with one going so far as to state that he has less than a year to live.
