(Grand)Dad joke of the day

Where did they put…

Oh, awkward surnames... They follow you to the grave, as seen in member @Red Gem’s joke. Be warned, though—it's a bit cheeky!

Fact of the day

First ever ‘vampire’ virus

Image Source: Unsplash

Did you know that researchers just stumbled upon the first-ever ‘vampire’ virus? But don't fret; it’s not the kind in horror stories where they turn people into vampires or anything. Apparently, these viruses attack other viruses, latching onto their ‘necks’ and sucking out their ‘life’ to survive. Just like a vampire—hence the name! 🧛‍♂️

Hospital & Extras policies start at just $3.20 per day with no lock in contracts*.

It’s no secret that the current cost of living is hurting us all, and we need to find ways to ‘cut the fat’ wherever we can. But did you know that in 2023, the cost of health insurance increased by an average of $167* for Aussies over 65 who weren't with one of the 'big 5 funds'? For those older Aussies who were with one of the 'big 5 funds', their health insurance increased by $194*.

What you may not realise is that there are government rebates out there that could save you hundreds of dollars per year on your cover. For eligible Aussies, the starting cost of a combined hospital and extras cover comes in at $22.54* a week, or $3.20* per day once the rebate has been claimed.
