Sustainability and Performance of Super Funds
The recent article titled "Boomers Don't Have Enough Super" revisits a familiar topic that frequently surfaces in politics and media. Unfortunately, it offers little more than a rehash of outdated discussions without making any meaningful effort to overhaul the obsolete system that continues to deepen the financial struggles of already vulnerable demographics in Australia.

The value of the prizes has dropped but they are far more frequent, and you have to think, why are you actually here?

Results: Us and Pigs [an unofficial challenge]
THE RESULTS ARE IN! So. This challenge was TOUGH. I knew in uploading it that it would either receive lots of attention or no attention at all. And I was good with either!

Summoning the Pantheon (Results)
Hey Lovelies! 🩷 First and foremost, I would just like to thank everyone so much for the interest and the entries to this wild idea of a challenge of mine. I wasn’t sure about it, and whether anyone would be keen, but the entries I received have been amazing, they were all so good, it was genuinely hard to decide a top five, let alone winners!

The Flood
Introduction This may seem like a bit of a rant and that I am having a go at certain Vocal Creators but I am not, we all have our own ways of doing things. Also, the Vocal side of it is caused by Vocal's decision to force us to receive publication information in our notifications when we already get it in our Subscription Feeds, the All Laters Stories Tab and now our Home page.
