Rate cuts are bad news for most retirees. And why all this carry-on about the rates being high. They are not. THEY ARE LOW. In 30 years of paying a mortgage, I never saw rates below 7.5%, and they were double digit for much of that time. At one point they went up over 20%. A lot of seniors...

Superannuation is good for poor money managers. For those who capably manage their own finances, it's not a benefit and it comes with major down sides and risks. In particular, being forced to save in super when you can't raise a house deposit is idiotic. Clowns who say 'super is for retirement'...

You are likely correct in your assessment of this article, riskydave, and I agree using the term 'Bro' could offend. But some dealers DO rip off. After a trip to NT driving on dirt roads, my husband took our relatively new Nissan to the dealership (a major Nissan dealer in a big city) for a...

Often overcharged by mechanics, who take unfair advantage of the client's lack of knowledge. Usually, the excess amount is small and on occasions a complaint has resulted in remedy. The most recent occasion was when I needed a mechanical inspection of a motor home to get it registered. The...

An 83 yr old woman let a perfect stranger, who came with no recommendation or certification, carry her shopping to her home? Seriously? It's sad that in our society, doing that is very stupid. But it IS very stupid.

Get your facts right. Nuclear is the least dangerous and the least environmentally harmful form of energy production currently known. It is also far, far more economical than renewables. Of course if either party cared about either economy or the environment, they would be focused on much more...

Then go ahead and vote for even worse destruction - a continuation of the appallingly bad government we are seeing now, encouraging racial division, bringing in immigrants by the hundreds of thousands to exacerbate major homelessness and poverty and put horrendous pressure on infrastructure...

Keep doing what all media scum are doing - lying to promote Labor. I don't know why anyone wants Labor in power, but obviously the scum media do and the author of this article is right up there with that scum. Disgusting! These proposals were never implemented despite them being put forward...

The building industry is in a shocking mess due to the negligence of ASIC and building regulators nationwide, and the abuse of power by the criminal elements in the Union. The laws need to be changed, and those laws that do exist to protect consumers need to be enforced, without favour. ASIC...

My mother died in a Bupa Aged Care Home in 2015. I would love to add my testimony to support those involved in this class action, despite the time period difference. When she first went in to that Home, the care was excellent, although she and I were both seriously misled by the admissions...

Subsidised childcare for families earning over $500,000 a year! Really? Taxpayers struggling on less than $100K a year are subsidising families earning over half a million? And we are supposed to applaud that? I would prefer that the government tell those rich families to look after their own...

Tabby, how many times are you going to repeat that outright lie? Do you really thing it isn't obvious that you are an ALP stooge? Doesn't matter how often you say it, you know. IT IS STILL A LIE. And most folk here are intelligent enough to see that and to see that you are a stooge.

OMG. Greens! Voting ALP is bad enough, but the ratbag extremists pushing gender lies and climate change BS? Please, no!

Yes. You nailed it. The Two Party system MUST Go. That is Australia's only hope. Anyone supporting either the ALP or Libs is contributing to the destruction of our country. We need to get rid of career politicians - permanently.

Thanks Anthony. We should also all note that the ALP has plenty of money to throw at a failed plan to build more houses. Millions spent. Not a single house constructed.
