    These Near-Death Survivors Share Their Otherworldly Experiences - It Will Change Your Perspective on Everything!

    None of these recollections are from people who are dead, they are from people who almost died. And their reported experiences vary from vivid activity to nothing at all. So I find it impossible to draw any sort of conclusion about an afterlife from that.

    ‘$3.10 isn't even a litre of milk’: Centrelink recipients slam latest payment increase

    That is all true. Increases need to be flat increases not percentage increases because percentage increases make the gap between the haves and have nots grow larger.

    ‘$3.10 isn't even a litre of milk’: Centrelink recipients slam latest payment increase

    This miniscule increase is an insult when sold as keeping pensioners up with inflation because it does no such thing. Is anybody other than those in government going to claim that their living costs have risen by about $2 a week over the past six months. I doubt it because we all know our costs...

    ‘$3.10 isn't even a litre of milk’: Centrelink recipients slam latest payment increase

    So we should vote for Dutton instead and really send power prices through the roof which is what the LNP policy would do. The reason for these high power prices is price gouging by the private sector generators made possible by LNP governments selling our public generators.

    Aussie TV icon faces criticism over controversial Facebook post! What did he say?

    Today's woke values don't fit with the past at all and IMO also don't sit well with most people today. A lot of people are fed up with governments trying to dictate how society should think about various issues. And legislating away our freedom to express our opinions. In America for better or...

    Check if you're qualified for this 'critical' cash boost from Centrelink!

    Oh please Seniors Discount Club why did you run this story with a pic of a hand holding a fistful of cash notes when all pensioners are getting is a couple of coins. It looks like your publication is supporting the ALP government and LNP oppositions assertion that living costs have risen by...

    Millions of Australians to see a boost in Centrelink payments—are you getting yours?

    Not a boost at all, just a catch up payment to keep up with prices that have already risen up until December making it about four months out of date when the first higher payments are actually delivered in April. While indexation is a good thing, the way it is delivered is deceptive, too late...

    Are mobile phone detection cameras unfairly targeting drivers? Here’s what you need to know

    Absolutely correct. Most traffic fines are pure revenue raising. And our governments keep making more rules and regulations about everything, supposedly to keep us safe but really about raking in more money for licenses, permits, penalties, etc.

    Discover how Peter Dutton's latest Centrelink proposal could affect your benefits!

    Let us all be clear about two things 1) The last cashless welfare card was a cash cow for the issuers of the card. The company that ran it was closely tied to the Liberal Party and made a motza from that very lucrative government contract. 2) The card itself can only be used in approved...

    Discover how Peter Dutton's latest Centrelink proposal could affect your benefits!

    It would increase crime and bashings. If addicts can not use their Centrelink money to purchase their poison then they will steal it from others.

    Economist proposes controversial change to superannuation: ‘It’s a really ugly mark’

    Super is just another rort because the wealthier you are the more benefit you get from it. A universal pension would be far more equitable and would cost the government less than what it loses with all the super tax concessions it gives.

    New year, new support: Carer allowance and other Centrelink payments to increase for over 1 million Aussies

    It is an indexation rise so not a real increase at all. Leaves people exactly where they were a year ago.

    Don't lose your Facebook account: Discover the scam that's locking unsuspecting users out

    LOL you actually fell for one of those fake TEMU offers. I have a pallet load of used appliances you can have for $10. Most still work OK. Includes free freight to your door. How could that be fake?

    Researchers discuss urgent response to new bacterial infection threat

    The Covid vaccines killed a few people but saved the lives of thousands of others. As to the subject of this article this disease is one of many that thrive in the tropical soils where I live. That is why whenever I cut myself while gardening etc I quickly grab the methelated spirits bottle and...

    Overhauled speed limits may save more lives in one state

    Speed alone never hurt anyone. It has to be combined with other factors usually incompetent or distracted drivers. But we will be told that going slower will increase safety so people will accept the new rules which will certainly only produce more revenue for the government from fines. Safety...

    Shopper disappointed over gruesome discovery on Woolworths roast chicken: ‘I’m so put off chicken’

    Actually maggots are edible and fairly nutrient rich but are most unappealing as part of a western diet.

    Shopper disappointed over gruesome discovery on Woolworths roast chicken: ‘I’m so put off chicken’

    Yes, not often, and I doubt it is possible to keep all food entirely free from contamination. A live insect or a grub in vegetables sometimes is inevitable unless the produce is going to be soaked in poison which I would prefer it was not. As to live maggots in cooked meat, how did the maggots...
