Instead of telling us how much it would cost why don’t you put a positive spin on it. E.g. For ONLY an increase in xxx Australians would receive x amount of benefits in dental care. This could provide other health benefits since bad teeth are detrimental to people’s health. Please explain why...

This agent’s response was totally uncalled for and unprofessional. He may be (have been?) one of their top agents but he doesn’t seem to have any empathy at all. He should certainly be called to account for his unprovoked abuse.

What a wuss! So, your burgers were undercooked. It’s highly unlikely to affect you in any way. The turnover in one of those stores is too high for the meat to be off. A lot of people would have liked it.

I am grateful for having a wonderful daughter who made it possible for her, myself and my grandchildren to have a family Christmas with my sister and her family in South Africa. We hadn’t seen that side of the family for years and it has been very special.

I’ve had to get a doctor’s assessment for years now because of health issues and I just do it. I don’t even think about it. I can understand this young woman’s frustration though because what she says is true. I honestly don’t see why my condition needs a certificate saying that I’m ok to drive...

Cheeky cockatoo eating my roses!

3 across answer is wrong It should be TYRE not TIRE! We speak English in Australia not US English. I refuse to complete the crossword !

I remember sitting and patiently removing tape from the machine and then, slowly and carefully, rewinding it so that it could be used again. It didn’t always work, and I wasn’t a child!

As one woman said to me “When you turn 50 as a woman in Australia, you suddenly become invisible.”

Always easy to keep a few toilet rolls around for visitors..

I see nothing wrong with that. It would certainly be more environmentally friendly. Fewer trees cut down, less waste to be processed and, as the doctor said, better for the anal area. I use a bidet which would make cleaning the cloths easier. I’ll probably switch to this but would have to test...

As I said, I don’t smoke, drink, gamble, do drugs and I can’t go out much. No movies or such. So I can control my spending and will buy smoked salmon every now and again as a treat. Why not?

I remember when I bought 2 lamb shanks for five dollars because they were unwanted. Within a couple of years, because of publicity, the price doubled and it’s gone up ever since. To add insult to injury they’ve cut them down to nothing. The same goes for oxtail.

Yes, I am serious. If you know history then you know that it was the wealthy who helped the ordinary man the vote. It was wealthy men who supported their wives in their push to be allowed to vote and to work in ‘men’s jobs’. It doesn’t matter what I think of Clive Palmer personally, I’ve never...

In actual fact I am far from a financial nincompoop! I use a spreadsheet for my cashflow/budget and always know to the cent how much money I have in the bank. Since I don’t drink, smoke, take drugs or gamble I always have money to buy special thing! Ex accountant here.

I don’t totally agree with the comments. Senator Babet earns a good salary, as does every other a Senator. Maybe he doesn’t have as big a family as some. I am a single disabled pensioner and I don’t begrudge him his salary or the fact that he can buy smoked salmon. After all I can sometimes...
