You can’t always fix things for your elderly loved one; fear and general decline can’t always be cured with a pill. While we felt hopelessness, Mum made it clear that she was grateful that we were there.

While the government’s trying to find millions in productivity reforms, we’re giving away billions in gas.

Students are *still* paying more in HECS payments than the government collects from the petroleum resources rent tax.
Albanese is crying poor, but we’re losing billions a year from untaxed gas

One uni subject costs $578, the other $2124. What would the average student choose?
I started an arts course this year only to find my choice of subjects meant I would pay as little as $14,000 or as much as $50,000 for my degree. Bizarre cost discrepancies are rife.

Fun fact. You can't win an Australian federal election when you only have four women MPs. The current projection is that women will win at least 63 of the 150 federal seats, 46 Labor, 4 Liberals, 3 Nationals and 7 independents.

Do we, in Australia, have an unnecessary obsession with home ownership? Should we not focus more on rental protections, similar to those in Europe, that make long-term, stable renting easier for those who can not afford a house of their own?

My heart aches for the vulnerable and elderly who suffer at the hands of the greedy and unscrupulous, seemingly with the Government’s tacit approval.
Exclusive: The failed plot to take over Meals on Wheels
A consultancy is in receivership and a senior public servant has described himself as ‘not fit-for-duty’ after a series of troubled contracts was awarded to reform Meals on Wheels.
