You should apply for jobseeker if you are unemployed now and not yet at pension age. They expect you to look for a job but you will get $1150 per fortnight, plus i got the one-off $750.

When JobSeeker was announced in March they removed all Assets Test and Waiting periods for new applicants. The only test in place at the moment is the income test. I took advantage of this myself. I had been living off my savings having left a job in October but quickly applied when they announced that.

What a nutter https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-05-27/woman-loses-job-after-dog-leash-confrontation-central-park/12289656

To test that assertion i had a quick look at BBC News website. The 2nd or 3rd story on the front page is an Australian story. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-52811744 I actually see a lot of Australian interest stories on BBC.

I just hope he really wants to go back to the UK after living in Australia for 50 years.

How do you know if you need them ?

Yes i do drink but usually only when i go out. If i have alcohol at home in the cupboard i will drink it. Would be the same with chocolate and biscuits. But i prefer alcohol to be an occasional thing not an everyday thing. It is probably healthier not to drink.

Brian May of Queen had a heart attack. I'm glad he is ok.

Don't be silly Parley, most people enjoy a drink after a days work........ Why spoil that.... No they don't. Have a drink on Friday after work. Not every day after work.

Not exactly The Profumo Affair.

Is cheap alcohol really a good idea in 2020. Shouldn't it be like cigarettes ?

Not much of a scandal as scandals go.

Anyone can die from the flu. In Australia a couple of years ago we had a terrible flu season. Lots of young adults, children perfectly healthy but died from the flu.

Not as bad as Professor Pantsdown.

Everyone is recommended to get the flu jab not just the vulnerable. We are all vulnerable actually.
