The best way to complain would be for lots of Engie customers to switch to another supplier.

This is irrelevant. People pay taxes, including the Medicare levy and get all the benefits as a permanent resident without being an Australian citizen.

I wouldn't like to see that caravan (almost permanently) parked next door to my house. If the owners can afford that caravan, European holidays, etc, then surely $80 a month to store the caravan appropriately isn't going to break the bank.

Bastards! Some pretty harsh judgements by people on this platform as well.

This seems to be a classic example of the naivety or stupidity of some people who manage to get elected to local Government.

Lucky Lady. In a similar experience, I once got a bee sting on my ankle while gardening. I brushed away the bee, checked that the sting was not present and continued gardening. That night (or was it the next night, I can’t remember) in bed it was so painful I went to A&E at almost midnight. I...

When I see them coming, I stand still, turn sideways or my back to them, look aimlessly into the distance and prepare for a collision. Don't mess with old people!

The correct answer to Q1 is 3. Replace tyres after 50, 100 and 150,000 miles. The first set is not a replacement and you don't need to replace them after 200,000 unless you intend to drive further which is not part of the question.

The $2m payment to Ms Folbigg is not based on what she deserves as much as what the State can afford and how much tax payer money should be given to her. Raise your hand if you are prepared to pay more tax so Ms Folbigg gets more compensation. I am still livid about the amount of tax payer...

If it's that easy to remove the ring and it doesn't compromise the security of the locking mechanism, then why is it there?

The purpose of getting a passport is to travel overseas so it seems ridiculous to say that applying online: "For seniors, this could mean . . . . . no need to arrange transport or wait in line."
