Terry, unfortunately, even at 79yo I don't qualify for a pension at all. I even have to pay full price for scipts from the pharmacy.
I aaalso had to pay $342 for Green Slip for the Terios recently.

Your still intitled to Medicare George... Millionaire's get it.

I've got a good idea.

George, divide it all up and give it to us lot. Then, you'll be able to get the pension.

We are parked up in the Millmerran Free Camp. 3 days Max. Shouldn't be a problem for us. It's a bit greasy in the park now, bit it will dry out OK if the rain goes somewhere else. We found some real heavy rain from Toowoomba onwards. Wasn't much fun driving through it.
Good numbers on your Starlink Jon.
George, I think you are being ripped off. I was getting the cheap meds even when Terrie was still working, and I wasn't.
I'm still unable to get the cheap rego in Qld though.

It's all in how you present the figures and store away the wealth, are you considered a fully supported dependant in regard to Julie's tax returns?

It's hard to be the one who is not the breadwinner, but if the income split across two people still puts you above the maximum pension income threshold for a single person .... then smile and hand out the $$ ... life could be a lot worse ......

My first GP in Beechworth suggested to my mum to separate from dad to get a benefit and the same with my sister and her husb, she couldn't get any pension as he was still working. That is wrong.

[BernieQ2]

Friends of mine did just that Dot... she lived in the house and he lived in the flat next door...
Dave... still no word from the MRI... typical paper work... don't step on my toes bureaucracy...has to go to his specialist before he will know .
We only got around 10 mm yesterday and no cloud's this morning..
Only some fiddling with the kitchen today.. nothing else planned.
Keep safe.

It's a beautiful sunny morning here in Millmerran Qld. All the rain and wind has gone, just a few puddles lying about. Going up to the museum for a squizz the head off further south. The museum won't be open, but there is lots of stuff outside .
Safe travels everybody.

Bernie,
Re the separation thing , you set up another bedroom and put your clothes and some personal stuff in there as well, so IF they ever come a snooping They have to prove you do not sleep / nooky in the others bed but I think you are allowed to a couple of visits pr week.
