    Too many Indigenous Australians die before getting to claim the age pension. We need to make retirement fairer

    I don’t begrudge pension to those that have never contributed to the taxation pool, but it is time we used DNA to check who is eligible for indigenous welfare. They make us think they were all but wiped out, but it is one of the fastest growing culture and community. Who is kidding who

    ASIC accuses RACQ of misleading customers over insurance renewal notices in Federal Court action

    I would like NRMA to be included. They are underwritten by the same mob, and doesn’t matter if you are 55. Year member. The quote is astronomical.

    From single mum to political powerhouse: Pauline Hanson's remarkable revelation

    I agree but surely those that cannot be bothered to put in the hard yards are benefitting from the give me mentality. I remember the baby bonus did not help those deserving, but just allowed teenagers to get the money, often not even spent on the children it was meant to help. One family near...

    Pouring money down the drain? Oz faces massive water bill increases

    Strawberries went for $2 per punnet to $3.00 overnight. I will go without when it hits $4. Then you are told berries are a must for healthy aging

    Trust betrayed: Aged care worker's alleged $30,000 shopping spree exposes Australia's growing elder abuse crisis

    Since moving into an older community, I see every day that children are asking for more and more under the Guise “it will be ours anyway” so I need a new car now. Just because you still have your faculties you are an soft touch for those you love

    Taxed, tested, and tossed aside: The harsh reality for Australia’s older workers

    Not true. The pension is welfare. If you want to and are capable just give pension the flick until you need it. Others have scrimped and saved to be able to tell them to go jump. Unfortunately aged care doesn’t care if those who have downsized or didn’t waste money need cleaner, gardeners...

    Numbers reveal truth behind overseas holidays and grandkids' housing future

    What has history to do with what they spend their money on.? Saving is saving, and young people are still buying houses, just not the ones that spend on the wrong things. You will find many of the travellers are still living with mum and dad because they want an easy life and not saving...

    Life-or-death plea: The lifesaving resource Australia is running dangerously low on

    Always donated so did my daughter. Then we were told we were unable (too old and my daughter has allergies). Should be like other countries where you ask friends or communities to donate the number of bags used by patients

    Would you declare flowers at customs? THIS actress didn’t and paid a $2,000 price

    Was she unable to read the entry card? They even give them in their own Language. Sadly we are far too lenient.

    Police uncover euthanasia drug ring tied to 20 shocking deaths

    When so many are using drugs and we get ambos to give injections to save them, it seems weird that we cannot access drugs to stop our suffering. Maybe we should get our own drug dealer before the time comes. Just need to know do done in the know

    This backyard project has sparked an unexpectedly tense standoff! What's your stand?

    I think seeing her fence is out of kilter she may be thinking you are encroaching. Maybe offer her a copy of a survey, then if there is still a problem she should get her own. So sad to start off in the wrong foot. Maybe she was the reason the house was for sale. Good neighbours are a treasure
