Meet the oldest Air Ambulance Nurse in Australia

This is for the moderators. Perhaps it is time to divide the forum into sections or topics like other forums. There could be a topic for Electricity, another for Car Insurance and another for Life Insurance, Solar Panels, etc. If you have not accessed the forum for several days (or weeks), it can be quite time consuming reading through the entire forum to find information relative to the topics which you are interested in. 

David Murray is an excellent choice for a very difficult task. He was head of the Commonwealth Bank for many years which proves he has expertise in this area. I personally knew David throughout his schooling and he is a very determined individual who will succeed at everything he undertakes. However when all said and done whatever recommendations David Murray makes will depend on the Government as to whether any changes are made......Well done Tony Abbott, hope to see some changes which will deliver a more level playing field. 

I now longer go to a supermarket to shop. I do it all online, after viewing what the weekly specials are. I also have a list, before I go online. Buying when things are on special, I save heaps! My shopping is picked, packed, and delivered into my kitchen for me. No having to lug everything home, and unpack and carry it all inside. Not being tempted in-store, I only buy what I need. I started before Christmas, and have saved hundreds of dollars shopping this way. I'll never go back to supermarket store shopping again! What I save on time, effort, petrol, and stress, more than covers the delivery fee! 

Another hint is to be aware of the prices of goods, particularly specials. If your item scans incorrectly, you can get it free (only the first one though). We have often received items free of charge just by being vigilant. 

Re shopping: there is only one tip that consumers need to have, which is that they should do the majority of their shopping at Aldi. Since switching to Aldi several years ago we have halved our grocery spend. Of course, all consumers may not have easy access to an Aldi store but one will probably be coming along soon. I might add we have not only gained in economy but, in our view, we have gained substantially in quality of product. No more throwing out bad food. 

Thank you Joel. FiftyUp Club have stated that Click Energy will accept the OneBigSwitch solar panel if you are a Platinum Energy or 15% Direct Debit Customer. Well done...and thank you! a) Nice to see companies working together for the benefit of those involved and interested and b) nice to see people power does work! All you need to do is ask :) Thanks again 

Why is the cost of gym membership so high? Its quite unaffordable for us seniors, certainly for me its out of the question as the cost is astronomical. I really do wish to remain as healthy as possible in these later years of my life and thank God, I'm ok right now. However, some class type exercise such as yoga, pilates, dancing etc and also exercising on gym equipment at a nominal cost would help keep all of us seniors more active and greatly improve our blood circulation, joints and limbs improvement, and give us a balanced sense of well being. Can something be done about this? Its not as though we are looking for something for free, but to have to pay around $400 + per quarter for gym membership is simply too too high a cost. 

I think u have the wrong number as I have no idea what u are talking about someone must be using my email :/ 

Ross you have made a valid point about a civilians firies police and ambos who work twice as hard and do put their lives on the line 24/7 and they are treated like second class citizens we would be totally lost without these services so I say let us stand up for these men and women who do this work everyday they most certainly do deserve it 

oh you got me here I agree to all that has been said about the politicians they are only wanting to feather their own nest I just really believe that we are all equal so we could be all treated at the same way and have the same rights as these so called loonie tunes that are running this country and that goes for the past ones as well they should not be entitled to all these freaking lurks and perks that they get when they retire no come back to where we are forced to stay we paid our taxes and worked bloody dam hard to put food on our tables and raise our children and never got any support from the government at all so in saying that bring us up and bring them down and let feel what it is really like to struggle
