I have vey seldom put photos on Facebook. I may post photos of stuff I have grown in the garden or something I have made but that's about all. I share photos of birds and animals that I spot online and find appealing, but seldom anything else at all. I check my family's pages pretty regularly to...

'To be eligible to apply for Australian citizenship by conferral, you must have lawfully lived in Australia for at least four years, including being a permanent resident for the last 12 months, and meet specific requirements for time spent outside Australia.' This unfortunate couple may not...

I've never had a problem with getting the help I need at an airport in Australia, but I can't say the same for the way my wheelchair has been treated! When it was brand new I had to fly Interstate and on arrival one of the struts (is that what the bars between the different parts are called?)...

Well, well, well! Looks like us Tennant Creek residents are again becoming the unwilling and unconsulted guinea pigs for a system that hasn't been proven safe. Ho hum. Why aren't I surprised? This kind of thing seems to happen continuously in our small bush town. We are never given the option of...

I think my first action after telling that bank to go to H... would be to close my account and remove all my banking to another organisation. Although all of them will probably go down the same path before long.

Lol. They'd obviously come up with something nasty wouldn't they! Wonder what response they'd get if they attempted to make an official report to the police. I rather think something like that would give a few plods a good laugh and brighten up their day.

My mortgage is pretty small so a decrease in the interest rate won't affect my repayments enough to make a difference! Maybe a couple of cents which will be rounded down to nothing? Ho Hum. Next please ...... Incidentally, maybe this is why that other bank is attempting to extort information...

I don't bank with that particular organisation but if my bank did this, I might be inclined to just give them outrageous answers to their unbelievable questions. e.g. What did I use the cash for? PAYING MY DRUG DEALER FOR ROHYPNOL OR OTHER DRUG OF THE MOMENT. Where do I keep the cash? IN MY...

Couldn't help laughing at this, although I agree with you. Darned robots are well on the way to taking over control of our lives.

Don't have to worry at the moment because neither me nor hubby drive much. The only time we use much fuel is if we have to do the 1000 km round trip to our nearest larger town for medical services that are not provided where we live. For all local travel we use a mobility scooter. Of course the...

Same here in the Northern Territory

I use WhatsApp for messaging and apparently that function won't be affected by the ads, so I'll still keep using it as I have already been doing for several years

I hate music in shops, particularly in shopping centres where different music is blasted through all the open doors. I only have hearing in one ear and any extra sounds makes it even more difficult to hear anything at all, but even when I had full hearing I hated having my senses assaulted by so...

Wow! I'm surprised at the lack of compassion for a woman suffering a serious medical condition that could have led to a fatal end if not addressed urgently. Maybe no one here has suffered from appendicitis. That is a very painful condition and if it ruptures, can rapidly lead to sepsis and...

ANZ??? What can I say! Years ago I opened an account with the ANZ and quickly realised that every time I got one of those little balance slips from an ATM they showed strange and unrealistic balances. I never received any statements despite having requested these monthly. After repeated visits...
