CASH IS KING!!! Cash is never impacted when the power goes out, or the internet is down, when I give someone $50 cash, they retain $50, but if I pay that same $50 via digital (card) payment, the payee loses some of that money in bank fees. I do still use both methods, but am transitioning back...

I am so sick of this constant push by big business to make us totally reliant on digital things. Have they not seen the results of this push everytime the power goes out or the internet goes down. It's up to us to push back. We need to increase the use of cash again. With the use of cash, we...

Why do we need an enquiry? More money spent for a report that will state the obvious? I seems pretty bloody obvious to me that the push towards going all electric is a joke since we can't cope with the load that is already here. Yes it will cost, but surely, it has got to more cost effective...

If we the people, push back and return to going into banks and using cash as much as we can, the banks will have no choice but to re-open branches. They are just taking advantage of the way we were all forced to use digital banking during COVID as justification for closures. We all need to...

I find this report interesting considering here in Victoria, Woolworths is the only place you can cash in your recycling refunds after we finally got the you beaut recycling machines for bottles and cans. I can understand any store asking for you to make a purchase before providing cash out as...

WHICH state were the 25,000 people surveyed? NRMA is only NSW, never heard of Synergy and Australia Post & ABC....seriously. Also, were those surveyed equally city and country or just city. Many surveys are seriously scewed simply because they only represent the metropolitan lifestyle and...

The days of rewarding loyalty are long dead sadly, at least when it comes to the little man in the company. If this gentleman had been upper management, you can be sure he would have been wined and dined by his other upper management mates and given a huge package of some sort to remember them...

In this era of profit first, this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. It certainly bolsters the argument for people to go back to growing, where possible, their own food stuffs again. Home grown is healthier, cheaper, tastier, you know exactly what if any chemicals are in the soil or used on...

If Coles wants to go cashless....good luck to them, but it will mean that as soon as my local does that, I will no longer shop there. I won't have my life dictated to by a greedy supermarket giant. Cashless socitities are ones that control your life not just your shopping. Governments know...

We, the public of Australia, need to remember, WE are the ones with the power. If we want to continue to use cash, it's up to US to use it as frequently as possible. The same with all the other changes that are being forced down our throats. If you want people on the registers, refuse to use...

A friend in SA put me onto an app a few years ago which seems to work in all states. It's called PETROLSPY. It is updated by the public which makes it more reliable that some of the other apps in this article. It not only allows you to look for the specific fuel you need, but notes the last...

Is anyone else fed up with constantly being forced to rely on computers more and more while we see more and more data breeches? I have a phone for phone calls, not so I have a computer in my pocket, and I am not alone in this. I understand that this is the 21st century and the computer, when...
