No one has received the $275 energy relief promised when Albo came to power. My electricity has jumped from 0.27 cents per KWH to 0.49 cents per KWH in that time. Renewable energy does not provide base load power or power for our summer heat and definitely not for winter. They are killing our...

I use LPG for my kitchen cooktop, growing up we has natural gas heating and cooking, we were taught to have at least one window slightly open to allow fresh air in. I guess the common-sense approach to many things is being lost. To this day we have a window in every room slightly open whilst we...

The purpose of the cards is to prevent vulnerable Centrelink payment recipients from using taxpayer funds to buy illicit drugs, booze, smokes, gambling and not buy food, pay rent, utilities etc. When introduced into high welfare recipient areas, including indigenous communities, the trouble with...

I am simply disgusted by both the sensationalist article and the derogatory comments. Scomo is now a private citizen, unless he breaks the law, what he does is of no interest to me. I am sure each and every protagonist with negative comments would be happy with this level of scrutiny on their...

You seem to miss the greater importance of this action by South Korea. I see it as showing trust in the citizens of an ally. The monetary costs are irrelevant.

I am thankful for 2024, both my husband and I have been in good health. We are always thankful to wake each day, be in each other's company and share life together.

It would be better to pay 20% of gross earnings each pay day after tax into the Federal Government as your superannuation. On retirement you receive the average basic wage for the remainder of your life. The average basic wage is the figure that comes from Bureau of Statistics, it has always...

When any provider with self-service checkouts PAYS ME to check my goods out, then I may use this. Prices go up, staff are reduced and we are expected to seve ourselves. Get a life. Europe, where this trend ran amok, are now reverting to full service checkouts. The reason being the amount of...

Solution we all stop paying Netflix and cancel subscriptions. If this was done they would get the message. I use free to air only, I will not pay to watch a TV program or movie.

The only benefit to our environment is no exhaust emissions. These cars are heavier than a traditional car, batteries are not recyclable, when they catch fire they can't be extinguished like a normal car. Lithium has a nasty habit of catching fire whilst being charged. The new car price is far...

Yes, all income must be reported.

Hold your horses. Medicare IS NOT FREE, when working we pay a Medicare Levy to help fund our so called FREE health care. If you pay tax you can bet tour botton dollar o are paying a medicare levy. Aside from the ever growing waiting times for non-urgent surgery, that is everything that does not...

I'm Laughing out loud. Why do people from the UK, Ireland, Europe etc., think we are always waving our hands about. If it's not flies or blowies, it'll be mozzies and midges. Got to love it!!

I have not heard of this store, then I live in NSW. It would be good if the author of the article started with the name of the company and what state they are in.

The sadest thing is thousands of orange trees here in Australia have been ripped out due to lack of support from manufacturers here. They prefer to buy from countries that pay their workers very little. Truth is Australia does not need the world for her food production, we can grow everything...

I hope you have put this on Scamwatch. It's a government website that's monitored by AFP.

Life is as tough now as it was when my father was a child. Luxuries are heading out for coffee, meals, entertainment. Getting the latest mobile phone etc are Luxuries. Making shopping lists and sticking to them helps keep costs down. I have a vegetable garden in pots on my balcony, this also...
