A very bad and frightening experience
hi everyone
yesterday I was walking my dog in Ajax street around 2pm and suddenly a big dog cam and started snatching my dog's back in a very cruel way and my dog is a very small Chihuahua . My dog is a support dog for my disabled daughter . We were crying loudly for help . The lovely people from the area came quickly and saved my dog . The people called the police and people told the police that tis dog attacked an old man before and was scaring the neighbourhood kids . The owner knows that his dog is very dangerous but he leaves him unleashed running around the streets. I had to take my dog to the emergency after hours clinic and had lots of wounds and she was bleeding . I had to pay till now $873 . What was my fault to be exposed to this situation and me and my daughter could not sleep especially my daughter who is very close to her dog . I had my dog injured, a high bill had to pay and added to this is the anxiety and suffering of my little poor dog .
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated

After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom
I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
