I have applied for a carers allowance twice. And have been rejected twice. The first time was on our Doctors recommendation. I now feel that it is not worth the effort of trying again.

I am an Annecto client. And so far I have not had any contact from the company. This has been about the standard of service from them. If I had had an alternative I would have moved providers. The writing has been on the wall for some time as they have been very slow to pay accounts. Unless...

This sort of thing is not new. Some years ago, friends were accused of a barking dog, some of the dates claimed were when the dog was in a boarding kennel. In this case I would quietly send the dogs to friends and then wait for the complaints.

You don't have to be in Queensland for this to happen. I live in NW Victoria, the township is 40km from doctor, hospital and chemist. There are several aged residents trying to get help and they cannot. And a couple of those have a real need for care, not just from the family. It is a Federal...

What a coincidence! I today have had some Facebook chats about the insect I picked up from my kitchen floor. It was identified as a mole cricket. I had never seen anything like it. I am in NW Victora.

I am now 76. When I was young it was not considered important for a girl to get a career as she would only be leaving it for a family. It was a long time before I was even able to get superannuation. This I believe why many women do not have as much in savings.

Not only in Queensland. In Victoria I personally know 3 women who were given the all-clear, and later it was found that that had been the wrongly diagnosed. I wonder if breast scans are worth it, or are just a big money pit?

I live in Victoria, not far from the SA border. I have lived in many areas over many years, and this is the first time I remember that the 'grass' crumbles when walked on. To keep any amount green is not a viable proposition. A little bit is green which is watered from the washing machine and...

Another solution would be to take a small percentage of payments from parents, and then use that to give their children a nutritious school meal. This would reduce the problems of school attendance, lack of nutritious meals and the money is being spent on the children.

I am admin with a group. This alteration has been a nightmare. We used to vet new members, but now they just come in. I have now deleted quite a few, maybe unjustly but they have not agreed to our rules. They have bypassed all that. Us and a few other groups are considering shutting down it the...

I have been watching for years how housing is swallowing up the areas around Berwick, Packenham, Kooweerup and Cranbourne. These areas used to produce a lot of the food for Melbourne. Now the asparagus comes from Peru or China. I won't buy it.

People are upset at seeing images of dead foxes. To balance this, they need to see images of mauled, dying and dead sheep. This is not a pretty sight and is the reality of the work of foxes.
