    Thought IKEA was designed to trap customers? They're finally setting the record straight

    I take people to IKEA who don's like exercise but need it, especially in bad weather when you cant have a stroll around a park etc. They get plenty just wondering around, and, I know the short cuts but they don't. It is very tempting and I have to really work hard to resist a lot of items...

    When having to go means facing $25,000 legal fight: Tiny house battle could change housing rules

    I have dealt with a few councils over time. You come across the very occasional person employed there who has some common sense, but the rest appear to be university failures who no one else will employ. I have had arguments with one council who said they would charge me if I didn't move a...

    Why diaspora communities in Australia opt for surgery in China and Taiwan

    I am sorry, but if the health care system in China is more efficient than in Australia, why are so many Chinese people coming here. If they are happy with how things are over there why move here. They speak the language and understand how things work over there. I really can't understand why...

    Australia’s care crisis is growing—is your family ready for the challenge?

    I drive from Melbourne to Sydney every 2.5 months to care for my elderly mother for 3 to 3.5 months 12/7 in her own home. My sister cares for her the other times but Mum moved up to my sisters home. I am now retired but my sister and her husband run a business form their home. Neither of us...

    Luxury car owners face shock as dodgy move puts vehicles at risk

    I once saw a number plate fold down when going through the toll so it couldn't be read. Sorry I didn't have a dash cam then.

    Major NDIS shake-up hits, here’s what to expect

    I am glad the NDIS has changed the way it pays providers. I am a plan nominee (the only one involved not getting paid - this has to be a voluntary position). I am tired of the rip offs of providers, some managing to go through 12 months of funding in under 6. This has caused an awful lot of...

    ‘This cart gave me my independence back’: How one small change in Coles helps wheelchair users shop alone

    I have used these when I have taken people out who require a wheelchair. They are a great idea, but with the extra length sometimes it feels like driving a semi trailer down the isles. You can't take them down ramps and the turning circle is restrictive, but they do made life easier. Some...

    The ANU is moving to kill the Australian National Dictionary – this is why it matters

    What is it going to be changed to, all these short letter meanings that are sent on mobile phones which I have no idea what they are talking about. If people are against the good old ways we speak or communicated - like calling someone "shorty" when they are over 6 feet tall, blue when they...

    If you’ve ever made excuses for someone who hurt you, her story will feel familiar

    He wont change, that's how he is. Look after yourself, ask for help and maybe go back home where you feel safe and not abused, because that is what you are receiving. There are narcissistic people globally, you just happened to fall for an Ausi one. Look after yourself, you are not alone.

    Free disability parking permits expand access after recent rule change

    These special parking spots are for anyone requiring assistance in moving safely or have mobility issues, not only for those in a wheelchair. I worked in the special care system for over 30 years, and the range of conditions the people I cared for was extremely vast. All these people required a...
