I'm wondering whether the Australian people will vote for a Labour government next time. Usually Labour governments help people who are at the bottom or who are struggling. I think an Australian Labour government would be your answer. See what policies they are offering on increasing pensions. Other than a petition or a large protest group marching to parliament.

I would learn and take advice from New Zealand who are the world leaders in such matters. Again !!!!

Summer every time for me. I left England because I was severely sick almost every winter with colds, flu, bronchitis and allergies. I then found I could not tolerate Melbourne winters as I was so miserable and sick. After moving to Queensland I was diagnosed with SADS (Seasonal Adjustment Disorder Syndrome) meaning my body cannot cope with changing climate extremes. I also have a lung disease which is now able to be treated and responds so well to warm/hot weather. I can cope, although not happily, with the few weeks of winter we have here.

Stones. Used to go to a gig they played in London when I was a teen remember Mick on the door collecting half-crowns entry fees.

Yes i love pineapple on my pizza, as i can dream that i am on a deserted island eating my pineapple on my pizza.

Some are good, most are Teens preening. This thing about China, : "leaked" from Trump. Do you really believe him?

The problem really is that it is called Hemp and some silly people immediately associate this product with Illicit Drug Use when in fact it contains none of the drug associated with smoking pot/weed etc.. I would certainly try it if I had an issue with severe, on-going pain.

....is it um, let's see...I know...racist to buy a white kettle? Get a grip people. Aren't we better than this?

Apple and rhubarb always goes so well together, plums and apples too but use fresh plums, for savoury eggs with ham or bacon in it add baby spinach leaves for greenery. If you don't have spinach try basil leaves. Sounds good but I am a bit lazy so I would just buy a tart.

Beef hamburg fried as patties into hamburgers. I wonder if Gardner deliberately created the name Hamilton Burger for the DA in Perry Mason? Now the ads on ME-TV have Perry being offered a hamburger in a diner and saying he was on diet. They also say that the DA is a hamburger. I did not use the DA played by Wm Talman on TV Perry Mason series in any of my fanfictions I write and share online. I did marry off Paul Drake the private detective o a descendant of Nancy Drew! OK it is the 22nd Century and these characters are on other worlds in my stories. I really got reamed when I wed Hogan's Heroes Wolfgang Hochstetter to Helga Schmidt. He was a Gestapo major and she was Klink's secretary who really helped out Hogan and his small group of saboteurs and travel agents!

I would not eat the sides, but I am totally for the meat!! And no, I am not against most veggies or anything. I just like most of mine raw or cooked differently.

Hi River. I have a 'severe sweet tooth' issue. However, I appreciate the time and effort you put into submitting your recipe!

Hi Kamana 1696768. I will substitute kale for spinach (I do not enjoy eating spinach). However, I do enjoy eating pasta. Anyway, I appreciate the time you took to submit your recipe. Thanks. Yummy!

simples! and lovely with crusty garlic bread! I'd also try this one with lentils subbed for the meat.

I am not a very good cook...I can burn water... But I will try to make this and freeze the leftovers.

Joke time: Bad news, there's a beef shortage, good news, it won't affect fast food restaurants. I've started investing in stocks - beef, vegetables, chicken...one day I'll be a boullionaire. Dracula doesn't eat steak, it's bad for his heart. Ground beef is popular because flying cows are hard to catch. Which cooked beef can see your future? A medium.

beef, onion, mushrooms, paprika, tomato paste, small amount of flour, beef stock and sour cream. No need for processed packets. Cut beef into strips instead of chunks and you don't need to cook so long either. I put on the water for the pasta (I use fettuccine) when I start the strog and by the time the pasta is cooked the strog is ready. 20 minutes tops!

what about tailgaters who try and push you along when you are doing the speed limit? Today I heard one third of all crashes are caused by drugs

This was in good fun. I found an army of ants in the kitchen crawling along the wall. My husband told me to cook something and they'll go away :)

If it's a sunny day and you don't feel like going out that's OK, make sure to open some windows a little for some fresh air and let the sunshine filter in. Play some music, I find it takes my mind off the immediate problem , just aim for upbeat styles. I mix up my favourite drink usually an iced coffee around lunchtime... or a cup of tea always good and calming. If you like to cook make something to treat yourself or you could share with a friend or neighbour? You could concentrate on a quiz show and pat yourself on the back whenever you get one right ! Drink water.. may sound odd but being dehydrated could make you feel worse and be giving you a headache .l just try and do the small things that I can do or feel like doing in such times . Any little bit helps oh and call a friend for a laugh is always the best medicine of course ! Best wishes Tania \ud83d\ude42

Conratulations....you are the hundredth person to ask the EXACTLY same question on Rewardia recently...without looking to see if there is an answer...I've answered this many times...as have loads of other people...don't hold your breath for customer support...there isn't much chance of that....whatever happens it is not Rewardia's fault

I'm finding hard just to take surveys I think I have done over 100 surveys in the last few days and 99% screen you out today I done 20 odd surveys with three of them I got to the point where I thought it was rolling back to award my points for the survey only to find it tells me I was screened out once I completed the survey this has happed 3 times today I had issue with a same type of problem only days ago and contacted them to say I wasn't awarded my points only to be told I need to supply a screen shot to prove what had happened when it is near impossible to screen shot when your under the impression your going back to survey site only to find they say you have been screened out for a few measly point not good enough Rewardia it's a form of robbery

Not sure where you are Glenice but I wholeheartedly agree. Wake up Australia your teeth are rotting! Peak Health authority bodies want govt to start paying $ 500 million per yr targeted at those most in need to begin combating the ongoing problems of the average Aussie not being able to afford basic dentistry above a standard oral exam,xray and scale and clean ( costing between $230-350 avg). Fewer than half the Aus population now see a dentist once per yr. Canadanians 75% and U.S.A 63% Which puts us in dire straits as far as more hospitalisations in the future.... heart conditions ,dental issues too far gone , many issues including comfort eating your food ,jaw pain ,migraines ,mental health/ confidence issues etc ,etc would all be helped or avoided with regular dental care. Now if they can just find a means to train them all to be nice and gentle and get some new methods of numbing other than the goddamn needles ,, and a new style of silent laser drill ? l would be happy!

Yes, I used to roller skate at a rink in Dandenong (no longer there though) when I was growng up. Also took my daughter there before her 9th birthday when I fell awkwardly and ended up in hospital with a spiral fracture to my tibia and fibula...needless to say that was the end of my roller skating days!

Want a good tradie?...ask your neighbours...ask your friends...ask your relatives...any really good Tradie is SO busy that he or she may take a fair while to get to you...but it is worth the wait...if you can be patient....if they can be round in an hour or so....you need to ask yourself why they aren't busy......

hey y'all, i have lost the link to the band, it was Mud of Puddle, a band that named itself after a great flood in the midwest USA after the Missouri river flooded,,, sorry bout that,, but i will throw one up that i saved the link for,,,, try this out for size,, ....... of Loaf

I am not planning to saddle my unicorn and fly off to distant planets...despite the unrest of the Rewardian People's. We do need some sort of incentives for our labours..what though??

Most of my cars have cost around $2,000 to $3,000...all the spare parts are really cheap...because they aren't new.....SAAB 9000?..."new engine?"...$2000....and when you sell them they are still worth $2000....don't go to a car dealer...use a website like Carsales.com...I have bought some beautiful vehicles there for far less...from private sellers...with REALLY low mileage....probably 6?...no problems at all.... hope that helps Dianne

15yrs ago our council try to ban Ham in the canteen because he was Muslim but the public had a say in it and made to sell sandwich with and without ham.

Just sit on the most convenient seat. What's the problem here? Jeez. What do you expect from a tradie? It's Labor I think.

try upgrading the pay (and benefits) of staff that works in hospitals

Well after those results I feel that not all my fellow Ossies have been asleep at the wheel. We are pretty tolerant of our pollies but we finally woke up and kicked out the marketeer - Morrison. Trouble is it's been 16 years since Labour has been "in power". Just hope they don't go all sloppy and start having internal wars like they have been doing lately.

Hi Edward. Rewardia DO NOT remove topics, except which violate forum rules. If you are talking about this topic "Attention Australian PENSIONERS" it is still here and you can post your messages -- https://www.rewardia.com.au/ForumTopic?ik=os1F86CUbkCCCg6lZgYmZg&fk=GEN

Lockdown will not work if shops other than supermarkets can be physically accessed. Everything else should be non contact. It's not rocket science. If the virus has no access to new hosts it has nowhere to go. The sick get better become non contagious and it disappears from your community. And lockdown ends. R

Antarctica. The Vrill technology is so superior. I think they also have Vimanas there also. (Sorry, I just ate a bowl of wild mushrooms and I'm not thinking straight! LOL)

Are you serious with this topic of the day? Santa does not exist, he was invented by the Coke company hence the red and white colours and the black belt is the Coke.

any body having trouble with surveys? I have compleater several lately and at the in it tells me I did nit quality

Not on social media and have no children on it either. The little I know of it though it sounds scary and dangerous.

I personally have no problems with the way people eat their food, so long as they enjoy the meal and thank the person that cooked it. And does anyone realize that in some Countries it is considered OK to burp at the table or if they lick the plate after a meal, It shows the provider that the person appreciated and enjoyed the meal. In Australia, we are so "Would Bes" that we frown at everything

Have flow alot, but the only time was when the plane attempted to land the weather was wet & the plane slid over the tarmat so scary

I have seen people sitting next to each other speaking via their phone text messages. Utterly ridiculous. Still see them texting whilst driving. Can't put the things down for 5 seconds. I agree, these emoji's confuse me also. Maybe English should be taught in schools again like it was 50 years ago.

Definitely more creative and resourceful during lockdown, in a lot of ways it has put things in perspective for me and has changed the way I view the world...I'm more outspoken and has reminded me of just how precious each day can be, it's the little things that matter most

I'm not on Facebook or Instagram. I don't know the names of the other ones. Rewardia is the closest thing to social media that I'm involved in. I don't feel the need for the approval of people who feel they have the right to abuse me because I don't know them. The whole idea seems ridiculous to me, but I know that children can be harmed by things that they see on social media.

Diet coke is very unhealthy and actually makes people gain weight. The original Coke Formula "7X" was manufactured outside in a 44 gallon drum by a pharmacist. So from crap Coke to Diet coke I don't touch the stuff.

Not a chance and there is no way I would ever get botox or any enhancing surgery on my face or my body for that matter.If you live a balanced healthy lifestyle and look after your skin there is no need for work to be done.The best thing you can do for your skin,use sunscreen daily even in winter.

I can barely make it in this universe, and you want me to go to another one?

Looks nice and healthy Kamana. Thnx. \ud83d\ude0a Just wondering why a lot of people always use garlic powder and not the fresh stuff? Crush / slice a clove or 2 .. It's so much better for you !

Tried this a few minutes ago! Great taste, we also added some Chopped Spinach. Children Loved it.

It sounds to me that, using this method, the mushrooms would be overcooked. I'd very the recipe to add them at a later stage, or else remove them after a short time and re-add them later.

I've made chili before but never thought to serve it over rice. Now that I think about it, sounds like it might be good, thanks for the idea!

Sounds yummy, but a lot of work! I\u2019d just mix some of the ingredients into a bowl and eat it. Love chilli tuna, avo, cucumber.

I am totally amazed by some of these recipes, a lot are so basic, my kids were making them from an early age....doesnt anyone teach their kids to cook?

Your recipe is different. However, I already eat an ounce of Dark Chocolate (70 percent cacao) every day for health benefits - my GP (medical doctor) ratified (approve) that I eat Dark Chocolate (70 per cent cacao). Still, I appreciate the time and effort you put into submitting your recipe!

My how things change - I remember as a kid being terrified of the trolls who lived under a bridge and traumatised the 3 billie goats gruff. I may have somewhat dated myself!

YES....who cares?....the fashion police?...leave them alone.."young" clothes frequently look stupid on young people...so why can't old people do the same?

Thanks for sharing I absolutely love corn so will be making that for sure. I have never thought of making them. They will be breakfast tomorrow morning. Already written the recipe down in my book.

When younger would eat egg in bread grilled in a pan, make a hole middle of bread fry with little butter on side flip over put in egg & then put on plate & eat.[ \ud83e\udd5a\ud83c\udf5e in a frame].

Hi Kamana 1696768. I will substitute tofu (soft version of tofu) for cooked chicken (grilled or shredded). I will go with whole wheat wrap instead of whole wheat tortilla. I will go with baby lettuce instead of baby spinach. I will go with hummus instead of mayo (light version). Tasty and Healthy! THANKS!

Thank you for sharing and thank you for the option of tofu since I am vegetarian, will certainly make this recipe for me. Will also make the chicken recipe for my husband he will enjoy it.

I like the idea in general. Thanks Smiley for your thoughts. Certainly worth trying. If you are a vegetarian perhaps do something similar with pumpkin instead of chicken or maybe beets and parsnip.

quite the opposite, I discovered my siblings were all "accidents" but I was actually planned. However, I do wonder, as both my parents had wry senses of humour, so they may have given that story to the others.. and sworn them to secrecy as I was.

Ahh Jann , l can't tell you how many gazillions of these I pumped out over my years of cooking, l'm having flashbacks!! The mini ones were the most popular , people would want them still warm out of the oven ! I have to have my baked cheesecakes cold ! I used to make up a Berry mix using frozen blackberries, raspberries and strawbs and blueberries.. put a good spoonful of sugar over them and zap it for a minute or 2 in the microwave. So they still hold the shape but are nice and glossy. Then when the cheesecake is just about ready , l put some of this in the middle and return to the oven for a few minutes more.Even fancier I would sometimes add some rosewater or rose syrup to the berries in summertime. Thanks for the reminder , it's pretty much the same as my filling too ;)

I will substitute plant-based-meat for skinless chicken breasts (vegetarian). I will also substitute a splash of coconut milk for a splash of milk (lactose intolerant). I love (enjoy) eating pasta. Anyway, I appreciate the time you took to submit your recipe.

I will replace 2 chicken thigh fillets with tempeh, tofu, or seitan (I am a hard-core-vegetarian - LOL). I appreciate the time and effort you took to submit your recipe. I will be trying your recipe this coming Sunday (07/13/2025)!

Thanks for sharing (and I love the no baking component). However, I stay away from sweets (lack-of-(self)-control-on-my-part) :-))!

Its not only women. Men also have problems as I found out many years ago. There is no support for either. It was a struggle but the only one who can do anything is yourself. Self pity does not help. You have to just get on with life, its your life and you are the only one who can change things.

Thanks for taking the time to share your recipe (and the bread looks yummy). However, I do not bake (lousy at baking food items). I use a programable bread maker - to make whole grain breads or wheat bread!

at least our elections aren't quite as china or russia obvious.. the old 95% voted in favour of the resident dictator jobbies.

If you hang around for more than a year you are doomed to have ever decreasing points. Of course this depends on your age when you joined us. It's actually the lure of being able to chat with "live" people that keeps us loyal. How else could I chat to people in all states of Oz & NZ and to some of our other Rewadians in USA and Canada.

There will be a third world war. It has to happen before the US falls and the new world order starts again. It's all written in the script and unfolding just as the elites want it to. Unless we all stand and say no. But since their rehearsal to this was COVID and pretty much everyone fell for it, they know they can roll it out with no resistance.

Criminal damage is when someone intentionally or recklessly destroys or damages property belonging to another person. Trees growing over a fence is not criminal damage. Damaging roof tiles or solar panels is. Maybe remind your neighbour of this.

Hi Lyn. Just click on "Get your Gift Card" button here, in the Redeem points section -- https://www.rewardia.com.au/RedeemPoints

I've never completed a starless survey, but I don't avoid them entirely. Yesterday, I entered a no-star, Rose survey with a 10,000 point reward. I was screened out within a minute, but received a compensation of 217 points.

As a rule, any surveys that roll over....for example, ask a question, buffer, ask a few more, repeat question or show up as a different provider, instantly close down. Been at this game for years, I know\ud83d\ude44

I didn't see you complaining when the Liberals capped the tax-free threshold super balance a few years ago.. The cap at the moment is 1.7 mil. With an average return from super funds over time at around 9%, that means you would be earning around a 150k a year for doing nothing, without paying any tax at all.

I seem to be kicked out of 85 percent of more of surveys, but meh I just keep plugging away and trying them . . .

The govt provides public schools mostly paid by your taxes, so you can learn to write well enough to be understood, but it seems you have wasted their money, and therefore as tax payers, our money there as well..

I think it generous of Rewardia allocating points even if you do not qualify. No other survey sites do this that I am aware of.

none of the new ones work on my machine....after extensive research this seems to be my fault apparently...but I don't complain (much)

I don't understand. Don't know what the countdown is.

I am lucky I am a Superpower and know all about Technology and know what day comes after Sunday and that 13 + 2 = 15.

Edward your lucky you do not lIve in the US. As it is a mess and so expensive. I want to go back but my health is better to get here than there.

I'd be screened out of that one after question 2. I've been screened out of several surveys in the past as soon as they find out I don't drink alcohol.

It used to be fun but now it’s like a chore and all about the money. The fun is gone, the social side is gone...bah!!!

Some things are ok but You Tube has a penchant to shunt you to a porn tube after about 5 clicks....annoying

Think it is great to watch and to play. My 86 year old neighbour still plays twice a week - not a Federer game these days, but she still gets round the court very well.

My last fitness equipment was buying a bike which I use everyday weather permitting don’t need any other gear

Yes I have a permit but it does really annoy me to see people with no sticker do it. Self important morons

Different strokes for different folks. If you don’t like something then just don’t do it, no need to get your lingerie into a gordion knot

When Valentine's Day first started (in America, of course!!) it was just a small gesture to the person you loved but now it has lost it's meaning & come too commercialised & something we now don't need.

Yummy, my Mum makes the best apple and rhubarb crumble. She puts almonds on the top. I have made plum and apple crumble but never a pear crumble which sounds absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks for sharing your recipe but it is to spicy for me. And I have no idea what paneer is I have never heard of it.

I just did a survey on sex and sex toys etc (I don't mind the topics but I think they should come with a warning for the people that might find the topic offensive/sensitive). At least it paid, so I wasn't screwed\ud83e\udd23 over by it.

Thanks! I\u2019m not sure why some people even look at these recipes when they have nothing nice to say. Scroll on by guys!

They have to be called "gingerbread people" these days, otherwise the Politically Correct police will come and arrest you. \ud83d\ude09

I have made these as well, but I sprinkled Parmesan cheese on them before I baked them and they turn out AMAZING !!

Both. Parents need to guide kids but kids should also be responsible. Sometimes it's neither. Here's a couple of points to consider: *Age is a factor as well though because children under a certain age lack a lot of insight. They could easily (depending on personality type) be influenced by some naughty kids or sinister people depending on who they're exposed to. *Sometimes parents do everything in their power to shield kids from the harmful things in the world but their kids still end up in difficult situations for whatever reason. *Genetics also plays a part. Do we blame the parents or the parents parents? I don't think it's fair to blame people for genetics because they can't help the way they're born. At the end of the day it boils down to education and making smart decisions, good values, self esteem and inner strength: sometimes smart people make dumb decisions for whatever reason, maybe insecurity? Maybe carelessness or complacency? Sometimes people who mostly do right end up in bad situations. Sometimes disciplined people with high self esteem end up on drugs as well. If people make smart decisions, fully understand the impact of substances on their bodies, are secure in themselves, have good values and have inner strength then all these factors will help people make good decisions. Furthermore teaching all of that to a child is easier said than done, every kid is different and there is no manual for raising kids so to a degree it's up to us to teach ourselves (parents or guardians) so we can teach better because we (kids and parents) can't always rely on people to give us the best advice (boils down to smart decisions and sometimes luck).

Hi River. I am a hard-core-vegetarian (and I love pasta). This is my type of recipe. I appreciate the time you took to submit your recipe! THANKS!

Hi EnBird24. I will substitute 2 cups of soy milk for 2 cups of milk. I appreciate the time you took to submit your recipe (THANKS)!
