    Fake brand websites target shoppers on social media with bogus sales

    I paid $37.50 to return the 2 dresses but only got as far as the customs in China. The sandals I ordered were supposed to be orthopedic & weren't (still in the boot of my car ) the strap on the side wouldn't reach to close and the leather was very poor quality but as I said the bank refunded me...

    Company sends 'brutal' text leaves staff heartbroken

    we had 1 of our Nursing Homes closed in March. A public meeting was held back in November (just 4 days after the announcement) last year as residents had been given notice. It was awful for a country area where families were told that it was not being closed until everyone had somewhere to...

    Fake brand websites target shoppers on social media with bogus sales

    Shame we have to shop in China. I have had 1 order from them: I bought a few small things from them a few years ago + a couple of pieces of clothing (which I won't wear as the material is very poor quality)

    Fake brand websites target shoppers on social media with bogus sales

    I got caught twice in the one day last Oct/Nov with 2 supposed to be small businesses in Melbourne closing. I believed the story because so many small places having to close because of the pandemic & more so in Melbourne. They were Nola - Melbourne & Wilson-Melbourne. I did report to my credit...

    Glyn Davis to quit as the prime minister’s top public servant

    Your heading We know how the system is supposed to work but doesn't mean to say it does. Bureaucrats pass on information or don't & who knows if it is correct when they pass to the politicians.

    Major bank threatens account closure over unexplained home cash

    Sometimes banks can overstep though- early last month on a Friday I went on line to send flowers (to another town within the State) to a family who had just lost a family member . I used my credit card & "it failed" so I thought I had made a mistake & re did the transaction. Again I got the same...

    Major bank threatens account closure over unexplained home cash

    Agree 100% The governments will continue to try different tactics to see how far they can control the people. Look at what people were calling 'conspiracy theories' during the pandemic & now slowly they are coming out to be TRUTH

    Major bank threatens account closure over unexplained home cash

    I have had Centrelink in the past ask why we withdrew a few thousand dollars (not big amounts). Our money for expenses and loans for our children. I still make withdrawals of cash (thousands at a time - we do have a safe) I don't trust the government - look what happened in Canada during the so...

    ‘Our design costs the taxpayer nothing’: Is this the $5 redesign Australia should get behind?

    I am English by birth & a monarchist through and through. I am no fan of Charles but he is my King so I respect him. People forget that Diana had numerous affairs. I do not condone what either Charles or Diana did but as far as smashing up 2 families & screwing up his sons - I don't agree with...

    I think they have to change within a certain time (not sure though)

    ‘Our design costs the taxpayer nothing’: Is this the $5 redesign Australia should get behind?

    Not costing anything as the AML group has done the design for free otherwise I would say leave the same as the $5 note and just change the Queen for the King but that will cost money and the RBA has spent enough taking the Queen off. The RBA hasn't got anything to do with housing.

    You won’t believe what one driver found on a remote Aussie road–here’s why it matters

    That includes chopping trees down for the stupid wind turbines. I get so annoyed of all the trees being chopped down - where are the GREENS - they are supposed to be for the environment but no they want to wreck the environment to get to Zero omissions. Doesn't make sense to me.

    Is Australia saying goodbye to coins? Here’s what the Mint is planning next

    Banks now have plastic coin bags. I don't think any use the paper wrappers anymore. I think that is disgusting if a bank charges for counting coins -they all have machines and isn't that 1 of the jobs of a teller? To count money!

    Is Australia saying goodbye to coins? Here’s what the Mint is planning next

    I pay cash for most shopping. I also keep a few hundred $$ bagged coins that I keep on hand for floats for raffles, 100 Club, Trivia nights etc so I know I have them there and don't have to go running off to the Bank. Also if they cease minting coins what will we do with our coin collections? No...
