What are your thoughts on people who live in places that experience extreme weather situations like regular flooding, tornado / cyclones, monsoonal weather, lots of snow? Do YOU live in an area that experiences any of these types of weather events?
Mika
It doesn't matter where you live as there is always some risk. Weather is only one of the risks. Volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, rock falls, forest fires to name some things.

How do you describe best friendships ? A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future and accepts you just the way you are. Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them, but you know that they are always there. A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.
Jacq
A friend is someone who is always there for you to give comfort and support. We go through life but really you can count your "Best" friends on one hand. So many people these days are fake.

Why does the government of the day keep saying there is no inflation while the price of food is continuing to rise?
Lachelle B
Have you noticed the decrease in weight and increase in price? Some frozen chips are 900g instead of 1kg. Biscuits have risen but the amount or size has dropped. Grow your own veges and you'll be surprised how much $$$ you save.

The Great Beyond, Another Galaxy, Attempting to Explore New Life and Planets Far, Far Away, in Distant Galaxies. Should we, even, use tax dollars and funds for this?

I like to have a swim now and then just to keep healthy am in my 60s. One morning I went shopping and met an elderly woman then 85 who said hello but couldn't stop to chat as she was dashing off to an exercise class (she was the instructor) I felt so content after meeting this woman. Do you have any of these friends?
The dog house
No none. Wish I had it might motivate me to exercise more. The most I do is walk every day for approx. 30 min. with my dog. Used to love dancing the Rock and Roll. Now that kept me fit. Sometimes I wish I could go back to it again.

I must be going senile as I age as I do not see why more and more people seem to prefer very expensive Bottled Water instead of Tap Water! Not only is Tap Water practically Free but comes with the added bonuses of being "on tap" and the addition of Fluoride etc to maintain healthy teeth and so on.

Do you think that the title mum or dad is something that needs to be earned? Just because you have a kid that is biologically yours doesn't mean you deserve to be called a mum or a dad?!

My p.o.v, from the 12 year old me I'd say yes, it is important to go school and get good grades to get a good job for your future, but now? I wouldn't really know.. I've met people who say they finished school, had good grades and graduated all just to end up in McDonald's, apparently "grades" does not matter at all when it comes to a job? Thoughts?
ZoeC
School is not just about grades. School is about learning how to develop social skills, to negotiate, to converse, to organise your time, to learn about what is appropriate in different contexts ... the list goes on. These are all vital skills for the workforce. They may not help you get a job initially, but they will certainly help you keep it, and they improve your chances of progressing in work that you really enjoy.

I'm not going to say too much on this subject because enough has been said about it already but I will say that I agree with you Kimberly H.Yes a woman should be in charge of her own body but if you are in a relationship then the discussion of having children or not having children should be talked about between the both of you,not just one sided.If a woman who is single decides to not have children then that is her choice and her choice alone,no one should force her in to motherhood if she does not want to be a mother.I have a few friends who have never had children and they don't regret it.

We know and some of us think electric vehicles are actually good for the environment but what about for the economy, considering the electricity consumption when charging, and where quite substantial tax payers funds are being spent for building charging infrastructure to be installed?

Electric vehicles are no better for the environment than normal petrol / diesel cars. In some ways electric vehicles are actually worse. Massive amounts of money is being wasted on the idea. \ud83d\ude41
Added to the problems are all the gadgets and gizmos (ebikes, escooters, mobile phones, tablets, "smart" this, AI that) which all need constant recharging, plus the enormous amounts of electricity to run the servers, as well as the materials need to make all those batteries.

Do you think what is marketed as Australian Atlantic Salmon is real Salmon or a fake? Real salmon needs to be able to swim up rivers into lakes etc. to spawn, then shortly after hatching they swim down-stream and out into the oceas where they feed on Natural Foods. The Australian version is farmed, they are kept in what amounts to a cage and fed prepared food which guarantees their flesh is Red or Pink.
Neo
I am fascinated by the fact that you never see salmon marketed as "Pacific salmon" You always see "Atlantic salmon" sold but Pacific salmon is better.
In general, wild-caught Pacific salmon is often considered healthier than Atlantic salmon, mainly due to its lower fat content, better fatty acid profile, and lower risk of contaminants.

This is a problem that a lot of people have and I'm glad you brought it up.....use a fine needle to release any pressure in the packaging ...then gently remove the top of the packaging with a sharp scalpel....leaving the base and sides...then apply several layers of spray glue (hairspray can be used) and allow it to fully dry before counting..I find that usually works...(and of course when you have finished counting..you can spray them all over with glue and throw them at the walls...family members..and/or people you don't like..) ..if you usually throw them on the floor and just jump on them...give them a light dusting in flour first or they will stick to you feet....

SciFi is coming true as whatever man thinks of he will eventually create and giving AI the tools to teach themselves is a dangerous road to take.

and the biggest racist of all are Christians! Long ago they decided that Jesus was a White, Blonde, Blue-eyed adonis because that is how the Christian Churches depicted him when the Truth is he would have had a Brown skin, possibly a dark tan due to his job as a Carpenter, Black hair and those Beautiful dark, brooding Brown eyes so many, if not all, of those natives of that part of the world have.
I do sometimes wonder if those who make so much noise, complain so much about Racism are not more Racist than those they accuse of being Racist thereby deliberately creating division where no division actually exists.

If you walk down a sidewalk when they fix it, they don t make sure it is level. Store have small lips or steps just before you go into a strip plaza. Malls isles aren t wide enough. Old restaurant do even have to be handicap friendly. How can we fix this problem.

In Armadale we have a shopping centre near us where the whole front pathway of the shops is sloping. It is hairy when trying to negotiate this and feeling like you are going to tip over. One shop in the same suburb is renowned for having boxes and boxes of goods stuck in their aisles. Trying to negotiate this last year, I knocked over a pile of boxes and smashed at least one large ornament and probably more in those boxes. It is so frustrating! Have not been back in there since but have observed from outside the shop that their aisles are slightly better, but far from acceptable yet!. On the other hand my Woolworths in Kelmscott has wide clear aisles free from obstructions. And apart from that, they are always helpful and considerate. Most Woolies shops have the same wide aisles and clear pathways and on behalf of us with wheelchairs, may I say a huge thank you to them. How can we fix the problem - stick all the powers that be in wheelchairs and send them off for a day to shop! Perhaps that might wake them up.
Edit: Wow, I just noticed some of the comments on here and am really gobsmacked! We do not expect perfection, but let me just say that money can be found for many minority groups who are always in the media, we can find money to float a republic, have a debate about putting an first nation voice in parliament, give pay rises to politicians who don't deserve them (some do), and fund hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of fireworks, political lunches and heaps of other selfish causes. But a ramp into a shopping centre or an even entry - wow, aren't we selfish and entitled???!!! Hope some of you don't get to the stage where you face some of the problems we do!

World War 1 started in Europe. World War 2 started in Europe. Do you see a pattern (history repeats itself)? Ukraine is not a democracy or Ukraine would already be in NATO and European Union. Ukraine is an authoritarian government. Russia is an authoritarian government. Why is USA and European Union countries pouring billions of dollars in military aid into Ukraine - an authoritarian government? Ukraine is in Europe. Will World War...

Our house is packed of stuff we don't need. I am really thinking about downsizing the house and also stuff we collected over the years. My spare room is full of stuff we bought online for great price, and we never really used it. And that just made me think how many belongings we need for day by day living? How do you keep on the top of your stuff? What are your tips? What stuff should go?

So is my house … stuff from my daughter still here after she got married and moved out over 6 years ago … toys from grandchildren that they have grown out of … and oodles of other stuff that just seems to accumulate over time … I just haven’t got the energy to sort it out and get rid of it ??

When do you think your age actually changes - is it midnight as you commence the anniversary of your birth, or is it the actual time of your birth on that day? I have often wondered that - but the thing I do know is that birthdays come around quicker and quicker as you age.
Smiley
As someone who was born at 11:20PM, i have always said i only have a 40minute birthday.
That's what my Mum always told me from as young as i can remember, and it's still what i believe today.
My hubby and friends try and convince me the entire day is my birthday, but it is still hard to believe when i was told otherwise my entire life.

The rental crisis in New Zealand & Australia has seen families struggling to find a home, and tenants with a roof over their heads are claiming that they are being treated poorly. Have you been in a situation where your landlord or property manager has failed to meet their obligations to organise repairs within a reasonable time frame, or been in a dispute where you've had to source legal advice?

If the Federal Government would simply ban all Foreign Investment is Housing and scrap Negative Gearing for All Housing this would, reportedly, open up 10s of 1000s of Houses, Flat etc. for rent. It is also reported that those who own Housing - both Foreign and Australian Residents - deliberately keep their properties un-occupied for Tax Purposes. We hear Politicians, the Unions and others constantly complaining about how Multi-National Corporations pay Little or No Tax on their revenues in Australia - Successive Federal Governments - both ALP and Coalition - have failed to close off the mechanisms these organisations use to avoid paying any Tax. But never a word from any of them about the deliberate, but Legal, rorts, scams, cons - call them what you will, used by Politicians, Union Bosses and others to avoid paying tax on their own Housing Properties which they deliberately keep Un-Tenanted. One Federal ALP MP reportedly has $12 million invested in housing - he conveniently "forgot" to list a $1miilion property in his Asset Disclosure Statement to the Federal Parliament and his mates, both ALP and Coalition, in the very same Parliament did NOTHING.
They won't do anything to put a stop to these scams because they are all up to their necks in this sort of Corruption and are Operating a Protection Racket for themselves.
Faint hope it may, be but maybe the new wave of Independent, so-called Teal - Members of the Federal Parliament - unless they have their snouts in the same trough of Corruption - will force the Albanese ALP Federal Government to actually get off it's self-satisfied, greedy backside and address this issue.

Do you have the income, so you can see a Dentist often for a check-up and a clean to your teeth? Say every six months is the general time frame to get checked. Or are you one of the people that simply can't afford to go to the Dentist and only go when you have a toothache and have to pay off the bill or get assistance from Winz (Work and Income New Zealand, provide income support)? I feel the prices are too expensive and that is why the majority don't go...
Judy CH
My teeth are falling to pieces and since we were scammed out of $53,500 things have been tough making ends meet, I have asked WINZ 3 times for help but they keep saying you have too much in the bank, we only have enough to cover the mortgage, power, rates etc but no help. If I go to the dentist the only place the money can come from is our food money so I am well and truly stuffed. But they can put people who play the system in emergency accommodation and pay $1,000 a week. Plus help them pay rent arrears and repairs for their last house they trashed!!

I've noticed for some time... that the people responsible for replacing our street lights... aren't always replacing them all, or there are usually one or two street lights that haven't been replaced when they blow out.

I've noticed the same thing happening in numerous streets over the years. Is...

Here in South Australia, if you are the first person to report a faulty street light and they don't fix it within 10 days you can get a GSL payment of $25. GSL stands for Guaranteed Service Level. We don't seem to have too many problems with street lights around where I live.

I believe that if a country's President or Prime Minister wants to invade another country then they themselves should be sent to the front lines to fight. These Leaders need to do their negotiation verbally rather than physically using their people through war.
darsol
you should also ask if they should stop the slaughter of the people in yemen by the saudis,personally i think theres a lot more going on than ehat the media tells you,dont get me wrong,i dont think russia should have invaded but theres always more to the story,the first rulke of war is to get the propaganda machine cranked up.
who here now knows that going into Iraq on the false stories of WMD was wrong,killing thousands of Afghanis was wrong,bombing weddings and the like,Look at how libya is now after the wests regime change,what makes you think the west is right about things this time,whats different to make you believe they are telling the truth this time?

Australian gas companies are potentially going to force up gas-prices in Australia. Despite creating enough gas, they prefer to export much of it to foreign nations. Forcing up the prices higher in our region ... Australia ... and NZ. Should the federal government intervene to prevent price hiking?
Maria B 89860
Yes, we should look after our own needs, we have a lot of poor people here as well who need to cook for their families and keep them warm. A lot of it is being "donated" to hostile parts and they are laughing at us while we scrummage to eek out a living and pay top price for EVERYTHING!

Do you find as you get older you lose more friendships? If so why does this seem to happen? I recently turn 30, I used to have lots of friends in my 20s but now as i grow older i have less. I may not have as many now but the ones that I do have are basically like my family. Maybe we lose friends over years as there not really true friends to begin with? Would love to hear if this happen to other and some secrets in keeping friendships
Mr T
I had more friends in my 20s Noe I have a handful and they are truly close and trusted
The numbers are no longer important it's the quality

What policy wishes or policy changes do you want from Political Parties. What do you wish for from Government.
Edward S 497347
In early 2020, the government added salt to the wound of pensioners by giving the unemployed people the "Pandemic Supplement" which doubled the dole payments to $1100 a fortnight for several months, thus being MORE than the average pensioner; AND the government DID NOT give pensioners any "Pandemic Supplement" payments.
Although that salt in the wound made the wound sting, in late 2020, when pensioners were due for another pay rise, the government opened that wound, poured more salt onto it, then rubbed that salt into the wound by REFUSING to give pensioners that payment increase which they were entitled to receive.
Although that additional salt rubbed into the pensioners wound had infected the wound, the government decided that they have NOT caused enough harm to the pensioners and decided to add even more salt to the infected wound by adding insult by announcing in March 2021 that single pensioners will receive a payment increase of $8-40 a fortnight ( $4-20 a week )....which barely buys a cup of coffee.

I ask this, because many phones, computers and, even, some businesses are doing away with passwords and are moving towards fingerprint scanning, iris scanning and chip scans. They claim it's more secure, but I still prefer to use a password, because I find the other new technologies a bit concerning. What are your thoughts about all of this?

I was once hacked years ago when I had my businesses. The police told me that one method most used by hackers is entering people's computers through their MSN...ICQ or YAHOO messengers ....The police advised me to delete all messengers from my computer ..... When I was hacked I was hacked on MSN messenger whilst unknowingly chatting to the person who hacked me, whilst she was in my computer sending copies of my business files to everyone on my friend's list

Easter buns of course as popular and often hit the shelves after Christmas. Should buns, without the cross, be available to purchase all year round?
WIDJEM
What a crazy idea, next people will want chocolate to be sold all year round... ohh wait.... Plus think of all the money shops would lose out on. After all cant charge a ridiculous amount because its 'only available for a short time" PS super markets and bakerys out there, feel free to leave the cross of my bun and save me a few bucks a packet

Do vets charge to much? Is pet insurance worth it? Or are willing to pay whatever costs for a loved pet ...
Russel B
How about a Vet joke? If you lock your dog and your partner in the boot of your car and leave it locked for for10 minutes. Guess who is pleased to see you when you let them out?
Apologies everyone it's just my warped sense of humour.

Do you listen to songs in other languages? These being languages that you do not speak or understand well (need a translation for). I personally, enjoy listening to songs sung in Aramaic, Russian and Serbian Slavic. Unlike some of my constituents, I do find the interpretation or translation of the song in a language I do understand.
Daffodil
i have heard some beautiful Latino songs, I don't understand the words but the way the music flows is just awesome, and having visited Japan some of the songs I heard are pretty cool too. You really don't have to know the words to appreciate the music/songs..

Should children be permitted to be executors to their parents will? The nominated ones often help themselves to a 'bit extra' as executors fees, which may be legal but not necessarily fair.
CILLY0
It is so hard sometimes as you bring your children up to be fair and honourable and it is so hard to see what the $$$ signs can do to some of them at times. Trust certainly goes out the window with those that are done wrong.

When boys are in an environment with other boys only. They take on a "pack mentality" and don t know how to relate to girls and women. I think co-ed schools are the smarter option. They help raise boys to become decent men.
Bugalugs
No apologies, Johana C but I thinkyour ideas are nonsense. I went to an all boys school and if anything, thanks to the plethora of paedophile teachers - including female ones, who were the biggest bullies of all - we came out as misandrists. Yes, in some ways Co-ed schools are better but let us not forget that girls can be every bit as cruel, nasty, vindictive - especially towards other girls - Their bullying techniques have, somehow, been developed into an art which is passed down from one year to the next and they take that through to their adult lives.
Both demales and males will develop into decent Women and Men if they have the example set for them by their parents. Sadly today Parents would rather rake in buckets loads of money - half of which they waste on After School Care for THEIR children - than actually rearing THEIR children themselves. So children come out of school knowing nothing more than how to bully and are set to be misogynists and misandrists their entire lives.

Did they live up to your expectations? I've met Geoffrey Rush and Rutger Hauer (now deceased). The latter was a better experience than the former. It's best not to idolize anyone full stop because we are all human beings.

Shaun Micaulef: brilliant, discerning and humble bloke. We had a brief chat at a small newsstand in Melbourne's CBD. His intelligence shone through his eyes intensely. He is also extremely handsome in real life. I was at Edward's Lake (Melbourne Vic) for a Labor Party rally with my parents as a kid. It rained so the venue had to be held indoors and the Great Gough nodded as he walked by. That man had the most powerful presence I have ever come across. What a man!

What do you think of Daylight-saving? Some countries have it, and some don't. Some states, territories, in Australia have it. Some people seem to either love it, or hate it! I think its a bit too long, at least in Australia. I would shorten it by a month, as it gets to dam hot in some parts of country. How does it affect you, if at all? Do you become more happier, or .....moodier?

Not applicable in WA; our Premier thinks the sun shines from his bum and he won't get up an hour earlier for anyone!! :-)

People think violent movies and video games cause real life violence. But I have to disagree. The majority of people who watch a violent film, don't go out and hurt or kill people. They watch the film, turn it off and then get on with their lives.
APB
I don't know why anyone wants to watch them in the first place...even that is very disturbing..you can make terrifying films without anyone getting killed, it just takes someone with some true skill and ability.

I don't wear glasses but no doubt sometime in the future I'll need them. I'll enjoy my eyesight in the meantime.
NZNaturalKiwi
About 14 or 15 I think. I'd had trouble seeing when I was in primary school but every time I had an eye test, they said I was fine. Turns out the optometrist needed glasses himself and had been reading the results wrong for years. A lot of kids needed glasses in the years following that

I don't understand why people still have home phones in 2020? I gave up mine decades ago. Dealing with my cell phone is enough. Without having to deal with a home phone too. It makes no sense
Philip D
Couldn't give up my home phone. How would Michelle from the NBN be able to contact me on a regular basis to advise that my land line will be cut off in 24 hours. Poor kid would be out of a job.

It sounds mean but I steer clear of partners that snore. I don't want to be woken up in the middle of the night by someone gasping for breath. I understand it's not their fault. They can find another partner to put up with it. Have you ever slept with a snorer?
Phyrephly
I've slept with the same snorer my parents sleep with: Charlie (Heinz59er, dog), is the loudest sleeper; he snores, farts, barks, yips, grunts, growls, yelps, and even sleepwalks! My parents thought he was possessed the first night he was in the house. But he does like the ladies, and enjoys his nightly cuddles. certainly didn't get much of those in the house he was rescued from (RSPCA save). Making up for it now tho'.

Remote work is here to stay for most people. At least until they find a vaccine for the Coronavirus. Everyone is trying to find a way to make money online. And so many people are turning to eCommerce. Will you be trying new online ventures to bring in cash?

If you can dream it then you can do it!..I make Jewellery as a wee side line hobby/business, which I sold though a local shop until covid hit!!!! so my goal for next year is to get my business up and running online.

I used to love watching the Academy Awards and see people realising their dreams and winning awards for their creative work. But the Oscars isn t what it once was. Actors have become political puppets. No one cares what they think about politics. They should stick to what they do best -- acting!
lippy loo
The glamour has gone and now mostly just trashy outfits and who can show more leg or boobs. No class in a lot of their speeches either. It sometimes feels like the ones that win should not even have been nominated and the better actors have been overlooked due to the money put behind the movie or the actors themselves. It all seems a bit rigged to me these days and I no longer watch it.

The most valuable lessons I've learnt were after I left school and university. Lessons about money. Lessons about entrepreneurship. Lessons about success and savings and investment. All these useless things they teach in the classroom that nobody ever uses. Education departments throughout the world need to step up
NZNaturalKiwi
My school did teach us about saving, budgeting, investment options, saving for retirement and about having a rainy day fund and an "oh crap" (emergency) fund. My parents taught us about shopping on a budget, cooking on a budget, layby's and HP's etc

Here are some wrong answers when answering surveys.... What is the main issue for State or national Government? Climate change.....wrong answer Which is your main supermarket? IGA...wrong answer What Brand of car are you going to buy next? Renault...wrong answer Do you want more insurance? No...wrong answer I hope this helps....
Liane H
No I'm not interested in any of these sports / subscriptions / insurance policies . Can you tell us the last time you interacted with these brands do you trust them to do the right thing in a crisis? ... ,who sponsors these next 30 different sports teams? ,,, no idea ,no idea, no idea .. can't remember ..
Still going strong ,but don't slip up on the test question ..
You WILL be interested in buying a brand new vehicle within 6 mnths. All electric yes ,yes ,yes!

Start Your Day with Intention Starting your day in a good way begins with setting a positive tone from the moment you wake up. Try avoiding your phone for the first few minutes and instead take a deep breath, stretch, or think of one thing you re grateful for. A healthy breakfast and a clear plan for the day can help you feel focused and motivated. When you begin your morning with intention and calm energy, the rest of your day naturally feels more productive and...
John Smith Very-Old
Look Jose, a deep breath sounds nice and all, but my morning routine is more like yelling at the TV because the referee was clearly blind. If I don\u2019t start the day with a Scotch and an argument over a football highlight from 1984, am I even properly awake?

This may seem like a lot of ingredients, but you will find that you already have most of them in your pantry. 250 g rice noodles. 100 gram chicken breast. 1 onion chopped. 1 carrot sliced. Bell pepper strips, 3 colours if possible. Garlic and ginger to own likes. Tablespoon soy sauce. Tablespoon fish sauce. Sweet chili sauce to own taste. 2 tablespoon brown sugar. 2 tablespoon crushed peanuts. Salt to own taste. Red chili flakes to own desire....
Von
I could make this...except for the ginger...I was given some yellow and red capsicums by one of 'the boys'...and I have all the other ingredients.
Sounds good Ron...
