No 7777 mentally ill patients can not just phone up Centrelink.

The staff at our local Centrelink office are great. It is the system they work in that causes nearly all the problems. The last LNP government were cruel and set out to destroy it and unfortunately the current Labor government are not repairing the damage.

Your post is psychotic.

$3 million is too much. Reduce it to $2 million and index it. Great to see the government finally acting to get rid of one of the tax avoidance measures the rich love because nearly all the benefits go to them. Next to go should be negative gearing on existing property. NG should only be...

Animals acting naturally and some people get upset. But dogs should never be wandering around freely in urban areas.

I had a slowly rising PSA from about age 55 but it was tracking just above the usual increase with ageing and a digital rectal exam indicated nothing. But at age 65 the PSA started rising faster and a digital exam was inconclusive. So I was sent to a Urologist who sent me for a biopsy which was...

Pensioners need to show how disgusted we are with the recent insulting and unrealistic pension increase. Do this by putting the LNP and ALP last when you vote shortly. There are many Independent and Minor party candidates who have much fairer policies than Liberal and Labor who both put...

Excellent likeness of the subject people. Very talented artist.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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.

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.

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