    We used an FSO earlier this year and have only praise for his help. Very pleasant, willing to listen and sound advice.

    ‘$3.10 isn't even a litre of milk’: Centrelink recipients slam latest payment increase

    I just don't understand how some survive on Centrelink. We are aged pensioners and have modest assets according to Centrelink so only receive a part pension. On the week prior to each small inflation increase we have received a letter stating our assets had increased therefore our pension will...

    Why this British expat is questioning Australia’s parking laws after a $272 fine

    I live on the south coast and this guy has got to be unlucky. In my street in Nowra people park all over and in the wrong direction on a daily basis. Been happening for years and have never seen a parking ticket handed out yet. Never seen the council ranger either. The Police drive by...

    Sunrise weatherman Sam Mac turns Nat Barr's 'dream' into an on-air blunder: 'We've lost it'

    I cannot understand why channel 7 persists with this fool Sam Mac. When his segment starts we take the opportunity to do our morning ablutions or wash the dishes or even switch channels. He is just an absolute goose. He is the only let down for an otherwise good programme.

    Major retailers face possible breakups following price gouging allegations

    The UK experience has meant better prices for producers and much more competition in the market place giving consumers more choice at competitive prices. One part they need to be careful with is EG already has ties with Woolworths. Great idea. It also curbs gouging in the USA.

    Massive Channel Seven layoff affects 150 personnel, including one TV staple

    Absolutely crazy decision. A much loved reporter. Cannot fathom 7's decision when you have a complete idiot doing the weather for Sunrise from Sydney whom most viewers cannot watch him yet they boot a ratings winner in Paul Burt. Poor decision.

    Got Health insurance? Your Premiums Went Up Again

    We ditched private health insurance a couple of years ago. We put our money into a high earning investment account. We have a tidy sum in the account earning money for us in case we have to use it. After a couple of dentist visits and receiving next to nothing back then having to have an...

    Great News! Seniors can get a petrol discount at United Petroleum

    It's meant to be a cost of living deal. The day of announcement by the NSW government all the pump prices in United stations went up by 4cents a litre. Many friends have reported that their United stations are dearer than the local Ampol. We use United most of the time and they were always 2 to...

    Sunrise weatherman Sam Mac’s fashion blunder on national TV: 'I've done it again'

    It's a bad day full stop when this 'its all about me' clown comes on my TV screen.

    Friendly 'feud' continues as Robert Irwin fills in for Sam Mac on Sunrise

    Channel 7 would be a far better place to watch the Sunrise programme and others if they just got rid of this self centered weather reader Sam Mac. I find it pleasant and attentive when either Robert or any other presenter takes the spot.

    Is Cadbury no longer the king of Easter treats? Savvy shopper discovers delicious budget-friendly alternative!

    I used to enjoy Cadbury's but switched to ALDI brand for price and taste. Since I discovered the Woolies Belgian Chocolate that's what I now buy. Aldi for some reason has become a lesser product and expensive.
