    Services Australia calculates what you dad need to pay. They will already likely have all the info they need but you should check with them. But from what you say, all he only needs to pay is 85% of his old age pension for his nursing home costs No that is very NOT true. If a spouse who is...

    Qantas Denial of OW Emerald access to Sydney First Lounge

    That has always been the catch all rule that CX used to exclude anyone they didn't want who were otherwise eligible on the basis of the other requirements. This happened more than once at the Marco Polo at SFO in the past - was relegated to the AF lounge canteen. "Sorry the lounge is full"...
