    I didn't have two weeks to read this all, much too long. People run into trouble when they don't stick to the plan and use the redraw facility too much to live above their means, also in Australia we write CHEQUES to the bank not checks.

    Aussies to face pantry staple shortage after recent storms

    I am sure we all would pay more to help the dairy farmers out, if they actually got an increase in their base price. All farmers are on contracts and it is very hard to get an increase on that contract. When the milk goes up we will ask at the farm gate just how much increase they got.

    Is it unreasonable to ask for a fifth of my mum's inheritance?

    How can you say she receives nothing, if she is the full time carer she should at least receive the Carers pension or at the very least the Carer's allowance, if she is not receiving any benefit see social security, if that fails move back to your own house and let your mother sort it out.
