Ah, but it satisfies the Centrelink requirement that people on unemployment have the required number of job interviews etc. Waste of everyone's time & the expense of applying & going for the interview for people who will never get that job. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

There is a simple solution (& one I'm sure has been practised for many years), you don't put any qualitifications on your advertisement. Then, when it comes to interviews you interview all ages & both male & female; then you choose the age & gender you actually wanted. I'm sure many...

Fees are already rising dramatically. Yesterday I was notified by my HCSP provider that some of the services I receive will rise by 50% starting tomorrow. This is just extortion of the elderly. I advised them immediately that I would be cutting the number of times I could use these services...

My perception of this article is that the AP driver should not have been behind the wheel. What the article does not explain is, who was at fault? From my reading of the article, someone was definitely speeding for the vehicles to end up on the first floor of a building. Additionally, since...

Who invades tax? Most of us want to evade paying tax.

We have had the green trolleys for ages now. I love them. The wheels actually work!!! For those of us with arthritis they are a god-send as they don't require a lot of effort to push them around the store & then out to the car. Goodbye & good riddance to the old metal trolleys.

Note to Penny Wong: Donald Trump never says anything "tongue in cheek". If you haven't seen by now that he means everything he says then you are living on Mars. Things don't necessarily happen immediately, but they do happen eventually. Just take a look at the last 10 months under his...

You don't need to be looking in your rearview mirror constantly to be blinded by the headlights of a car from behind. The lights hit your mirror & it reflects that light right through your car. Just like in years past when using a candle in the home many had mirrors behind them to reflect the...

System error is the new way of saying "We stuffed up & aren't going to admit it". Computers don't just spit out letters to random people; they have to be programmed to do that. Australia Post was just hoping that their customers would pay up & shut up.

The first problem with this article is that the aged care system changes on 1st November 2025 not 2024. Whilst I can see the great need for speakers of some of the many languages spoken in our country I wonder how realistic it is to say that it has to happen or the providers will receive huge...

I spent just 1 night in my local hospital after a problem with day surgery. What they brought me for tea was absolutely inedible. I sent it back hardly touched. For breakfast the next morning I ordered 2 slices of toast with Vegemite & coffee. What arrived? 1 slice of toast, no Vegemite &...

If this is true, then I feel sorry for the child. Who wants to go to school & say "he's my father" of a man in his 90s? The child will also fail to have a male role model in his life as his father will be dead long before the child reaches maturity. I also wonder about the woman here. Who in...

Obviously another AI-written article as it says "the cameras BECAME operational from 25 October 2025" , a date which is still 8 days ahead not in the past. Please, if you are going to try to keep us informed (& for this I thank you), do not use AI-written articles as they are unevitably incorrect.

If 11 people have been fined in the last 5 years for eating/drinking while driving then there must be some truth to this "rumour" otherwise, how did the police manage to impose such a fine? When travelling long distances I keep a large bag of Smith's chips between the front seats of my car. I...

I have just been t o my local Woolies. There were plenty of potatoes but the prices were up. I did buy a bag (2 kg) & when they are gone it will be rice & pasta for me until the price comes down again. I do understand that the shortage is due to weather conditions & has nothing to do with...

So at last I've found a potential new road rule which will not affect this senior as I cannot wear earbuds with hearing aids.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

If I had to drive at 80kph to reach my eye specialist, that would mean I would be driving in excess of 2.75 hours each way. Then they say that every 2 hours I should stop & rest. So make that 3 hours each way. Then I would be so tired on the way home from this very lengthy journey that I...

"According to the Department of Health and Aged Care, the average wait time for a Home Care Package is around five and a half months." Which planet are they living on? I have been on the wait list for 10 mths now & during a recent visit to my GP she rang them to check on wait times & was told...

The first thing all levels of govt need to attend to is the state of our roads, esp in the country areas. I have no doubt that many accidents are caused by poorly maintained roads. Fortunately for me, I am not attached to my phone & often even forget to take it with me when I go to the next...
