Please tell me this is not true!!! I'm a Survivor fan and can't even begin to imagine the show without Jonathon as the host. He's the best there is, especially in comparison to the US version. Leave the show alone...please!!!

I'm so happy for all the recipients of this good fortune, apart from the politicians' pay rise which was disgusting in the extreme. But the people who needed it the most received an embarrassing $9.20/month!!! My rent alone went up by $60/month. They halved the electricity rebate so the...

Well, what did the Government and Reserve Bank expect when putting up interstate rates on homeowners? We only have a certain amount of money to spend and mortgages, rent, food and petrol are top of the list. Superfluous things just can't be bought, so of course small business, most especially in...

Wait! What???Does this mean I won't get my parcels delivered to my home? I thought it would only be if they tried to deliver and no one was home. I don't want to go out every time I need to get a parcel. I have about 3 deliveries a week! Please tell me this is not what is going to happen......

My best friend has just gone through the 'system' with her 86 year old husband who has dementia and is in stage 4 with bone cancer. He was adamant that he wanted to be cared for at home. She was approved of funds but then discovered that she was only able to get nursing help for one hour a day...

He's not being a grizzler, just stating the truth. I'm guessing you're not on a pension but gleefully pocketed the new MINIMUM wage increase with not a thought to those who might be a hell of a lot worse off than you, especially those of us who have to rent or pay off a mortgage whilst on far...

I'm pretty sure I would know if I was getting a $1500 rebate on my electricity bill. We pensioners should be so lucky!!!! And all know we aren't, so there is quite obviously a mistake here SDC. The Government don't care enough to give us a $1500 rebate, instead they think we should be grateful...

I dont know why this price hike worries any age pensioners. We got an enormous $2.60 per week cost of living pay rise in our pension packets just recently! Surely this means that will pay for all the cost of living price hikes occurring all around us???? A little bit of sarcasm may be included...

And that is just not right!

The man is worried about what can happen for himself, but look at the photo of his wife. Does he think she would want to be like that? I wouldn't! Why isn't he fighting for her right to use VAD?? If I get dementia and progress to the point where I don't know what's happening, I want to use VAD...

After having used the UCC's before, I can only say that it is a wonderful way to get seen away from the Emergency Depts. They are certainly being used as there is often a wait to see the usually one doctor (therein lies a slight problem), but in a much better environment than an overcrowded ED...

So true. I went out to lunch the other day, spent $28 on food and a drink and 48cents was added for card fees. Imagine how much extra we will be paying soon when all facilities start charging these additional fees. And, let's face it, my pension increases won't cover them!

The dish looked perfectly fine to me. Lamb chops are delicious when cooked just under and who hasn't had peas cooked in the microwave??. I would happily have eaten it whilst Dickie interviewed me

She is roo intelligent to just be an actress. She needs more stimulation, so whatever she does, she will do it well.

The frightening part of that article is that this has bipartisan support. What is wrong with the current parties? Both of them seem to look at pensioners and the aged as parasites instead of human beings who have paid their way and now need a little help to navigate old age and ill health. It...

The first one to promise that they haven't actually forgotten the aged pensioners and will actually grant them a decent cost of living increase will get my, and I think many others, vote. There are so many of us really struggling and no mention of us anywhere. The new forgotten generation.

There is not one thing in this Budget that alters or benefits my life. My rent alone has gone up by $60/mth while my pension just went up by $9.20/mth. I get half of the electricity support that I got last year. My doctor already Bulk Bills me. Petrol goes up. Groceries go up. Everything has...

There is nothing in this Budget for a pensioner. Again. I still can't understand why the rich get the electricity allowance and it's half of what we got this year even though the cost of power is increasing. Childcare subsidy for people earning less than $530k a year? Why would a family earning...

I dont know why everyone is complaining because we pensioners just got our massive $4.60/fortnight increase to help pay for theses increases. There may just be a slight sarcasm to my reply....what an absolute joke this Government is! My rent goes up by $60/month, groceries on a never-ending...

How do you do that?
