Did you know you can ask your GP for an indefinite referral – so you don’t need a new one every year? Or ask to be sent for free to a public hospital clinic? Here are ways to keep costs down
What are my rights when I need to see a specialist doctor – and what if I can’t afford the fee?

I felt the loss of the mango tree last year, and I’m starting to feel it again.
I didn’t know that I liked mangoes until I was in my late 30’s. A few years after that, when I had access to the mango tree, I discovered that I was allergic to mango tree sap. (cont.)

I’m shocked and horrified that Albanese is squandering the mandate that he received. He says that Gough Whitlam was his idol, so why can’t he try to emulate him? Major reforms, increase in safety nets, power to the people. #auspol

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.
You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.
