Either Mina's superannuation was outside Australia or she had an employer that was not following the rules, but there is something that is not quite factual about her statement. Come clean Mina.

As a reminder, this is not government policy, but a proposal, along with another, by the 'Age and Community Providers Association'

Mina under the super guarantee your employer has to put in the equivalent of 11% of you earnings, if you contribute that is up to you so if your employer is doing something different you need to have a talk with him unless it is to your advantage. I worked for big companies all my life and...

Your superannuation was paid by your employer, not by you. Don't distort the truth, and the original retirement fund was raided by the libs not labor. It's true that super was introduced because a future government would be not able to afford the age pension as there would be so many age...

What a lot of whinging, narrow minded, miss informed people. If you have a roof over your head, have enough to eat and have a Medicare card, you are amongst the few very lucky people in the world.

Same old chestnuts, "I worked all my life, paid all my taxes". If you don't get the pension it's because you're too rich, if you do get it think yourself fortunate, a lot of countries you wouldn't get it. I believe it was a liberal stole the money from the retirement fund. The beauty of...

I tend to agree, so many of these fixes have been reported and then they disappear into oblivion. My wife tried a couple of these 'break throughs' to help slow Alzeimer's down, they made no difference at all.

Actually there are over twenty countries where a pint of beer is more expensive than Australia. All governments have to raise tax to supply the services that we want. Try living in a country with limited or no social services and unless you are very affluent life is very hard. The beer is cheap...

Another use for WD40. If you want to ger rid of a wasp nest, spray it with WD40. If you use insecticide the wasps will attack you by the dozen, but use WD 40 and they just fall down dead.

I don't know about the Kiwi system, but in the UK the age pension doesn't come out of general revenue as it does in Australia. When you start work in UK there is a contribution to "National Insurance" and you have a card, held by your employer, on to which the employer has to purchase and attach...

We have had 8hr power outages one day a month for the past 5 months. At night we turn on lights, cook, heat, shower, watch TV, turn on electric blankets, and use the computer, all when the sola panels are not generating, so we have to buy very expensive electricity. How is this cheaper than...

Hi Deb, I lost weight just by cutting out bread and potatoes, but for years I haven't eaten fat, butter, taken milk or sugar.

I fully understand this situation. My wife is in the latter stages of Alzheimer's and while looking after her is not a major problem, the lack of the warmth and comfort of your companion, a shoulder to cry on, and some one to understand when you are down, creates a great feeling of loneliness...

Royalist or not, it is a beautiful coin.

If you need to get rid of a wasps nest, spray with WD40. If you use an insect spray the wasps go mad and sting you, if you use WD40 they just fall to the ground dead

20% of people own 80% of the country's wealth. The greatest part of income tax is from PAYE's who do not have the ability to avoid paying tax. Tax avoidance should be available to all, or none. I have family member with a successful business who never pays tax nor hex fees and has a big 4...
