$75 x 4 = $300 not $350. Try your maths skills again.

You should have received $75/quarter automatically taken off your bill. Check your bills over the last 3-4 quarters & see if there is that amount taken off. If not, contact your supplier.

And this govt wants to import more foreign doctors!! I have worked with many immigrant doctors. Most are well educated & practise good medicine. However, I have also had experience of those whose qualifications & practice procedures are really questionable. Once, when I said I would not...

I agree. The only home brand things I buy are flour & sugar. Their biscuits are awful & usually smaller than the branded ones. Since I have a limited amount to spend on groceries I need to buy things I will eat - not throw away. The most recent thing I have had to go elsewhere to buy other...

No one is displaying advertising on a vehicle. To display something it would need to be seen & read from a distance by people other than the vehicle's owner. The fake fines are just a piece of paper placed under a windscreen wiper so no problem. Just chill out if you get one & have a good...

What an insult. Now I can buy an extra loaf of bread a fortnight so might get to have a sandwich for lunch every 2nd day to keep within my level of income. I would love to be able to have home & contents insurance but the last renewal I received had increased so much I rang the company to...

It can in this instance as I am sure the article said they do not accept cash, only card.

You must have created the My Health Record when they wanted us all to do that. I didn't do it then & I don't do it now & my specialist sends his results still via computer but it is not stored anywhere except his office & my doctor's office.

Eftpos is a debit card i.e. the amount is immediately debited from your bank a/c.

If I use my Visa card it is not a credit card - it replaced the old Cash Card & the money comes straight from my savings a/c. They still want to charge me a fee to, basically, use my cash. Not on.

So what's the difference? You are still usig your card & the business is still being charged the fee from the bank which they can choose to pass on to you.

Who? The chemist or me?

Same for me. One local chemist I would use regularly suddenly charged me a fee when I used my card but there was no sign anywhere that they would be adding this charge. I left the shop with my tablets because the sale had gone through & I would only get the cost of the tablets back not the...

If her bins are always out, does that mean days other than those when the garbage truck comes to pick up? If so, I would raise the issue with council as in most areas, it is illegal to leave your bins outside your property for an extended period of time

Every tradesman knows the rules about securing his load & flagging anything that is overhanging at the back. This is not a new rule & should be policed in every town, city & state. I was behind a vehicle in the last few days, on a country road, with gear overhanging at the rear. Fortunately...
