I would have more in super if I had never had life insurance deducted.

Some years ago I did lettuce and melon harvesting for a market gardener over a 2 year time period. Unbeknown to me instead of paying into my Host-Plus account, he set me up with a new account with Prime Super. In that time over $1000 was paid into the account. By the time I transferred the...

I won't be using Expedia again. I am not quite sure how it happened, but I ended up being charged twice for one night's accommodation at the Elizabeth Hostel in Melbourne. I have given up trying to get a refund. In future I will book direct with the hotel/motel/hostel.
