    Passport price hike puts Aussie travel plans in a spin: Here's how to dodge passport fee fiasco!

    No, neither did I, nor my niece who had a substantial amount stolen from her home. I made a comment earlier about reading the policy, which was a bit stupid really, who does?? It would take a month of Sundays and a law degree to read your House and contents policy. As far as travel insurance...

    Passport price hike puts Aussie travel plans in a spin: Here's how to dodge passport fee fiasco!

    Typical insurance company. I insure with Seniors Travel and when I had my bag snatched they were very good, covered costs of everything. You really do need to read the policy, not just take their word. I'm not sure if people are aware that if you have cash stolen(I had $1500) they only pay out...

    Government decision hits Chemist Warehouse's prescription policy

    Must admit the item is a bit unclear, but I think most people were already aware, many other chemists also offered it but the way the item was written it made it sound as though it was an exclusive perk for Chemist Warehouse.🙄

    Government decision hits Chemist Warehouse's prescription policy

    There were many other small pharmacies that also offered this discount, not just Chemist Warehouse, so it obviously didn't hurt their back pocket too much. I live in a very small country town and our pharmacy offered this discount,so your David and Goliath scenario doesn't really hold water. It...

    Nothing if you're on a pension and live in WA. WA is very good with concessions. We also get reduced rego, $675 fuel cards/year if you live 100kms from outside the CBD . Free public transport between 9 am and 3pm weekdays and all day weekend's and public holidays.

    Government decision hits Chemist Warehouse's prescription policy

    Totally agree with you It's not just $1,what a stupid statement. This will cost my family $20/month. All chemists were able to offer this discount and I'm sure most of them are a damn sight better off than most pensioners.

    Power went down, the girl in our local Chinese takeaway couldn't add up what we owed I added it up for her and then she said "but how do I know that's right? Really?? Then she couldn't work out how much change to give me?? I took my $50 note back, left the food and walked out. Talk about BS...

    Parcel theft epidemic: Australia Post urges vigilance amid growing concerns

    😡😩. I had similar experiences years ago when I used to send out extremely large bright royal blue parcels. Some were stolen, others misplaced and would turn up months later. How they could be misplaced is beyond me, it's hardly as if you couldn't see them. In the meantime irate customers...

    Government decision hits Chemist Warehouse's prescription policy

    What was stopping the other Chemists from doing the same. This wasn't offered exclusively to Chemist Warehouse, it was supposed to help keep the prices down, other Chemist just didn't do it. Chemist Warehouse didn't have an advantage. I have always had good service from Chemist Warehouse,they...

    State’s new driver licence update leaves more states behind

    I'm so sick of everything digital, what's the use of you still need a physical card for when the internet goes down etc. Society is getting dumber and dumber as they rely on technology and machines, calculators etc to think for them.
