I found your comments very enlightening, and I am now looking at this issue from a different perspective. Thankyou for putting forward a logical alternative view.

Makes perfect sense. Why don't we go a little further and ban garden forks, shovels, rakes, picks, pieces of timber, weed killer, fertiliser, screw drivers, hammers axes, hatchets, pliers, post hole diggers as they could all be used to kill someone. While we are at it, no more bread knives...

Another storm in a teacup. You can retire when you like, if you have the money to do so. It depends on how you have saved for retirement. Keep in mind, that Australia is already at the higher end of the age bracket to be elligable for a pension, compared to many overseas countries. I think a...

Sorry, but we are talking $3m plus here. How many ordinary, everyday Australians have that much in their super account. How many people need $3m plus to live a comfortable retirement? Only those that were living an extravagent life before retirement, and those that are using the Super system to...

Yes indeed. Here in South Australia we lead Australia in many innovative ideas. I would not want to live anywhere else. I have, but South Australia has so much to offer.

I own and drive a 2007 Ford Ranger Diesel with a bull bar and it is well maintained. I am not a tradie and this is not a work vehicle. As I travel to the country regularly I consider this vehicle necessary to transport goods tow a trailer, and protect us from kangaroos. When we are in town we...

It is my understanding that not all banks have agreements or contracts with Australia Post. Therefore not everyone can use Australia Post for their banking. I am pretty sure that ANZ is one such bank.

Yep. A few months ago a bunnings employee told me the same thing. I found that as long as you can count, it works a treat.

I totally agree with your suspicions. I also smell a rat here.

In a nutshell they don't care because these changes are saving them money. Banking was once a service industry. The only ones they want to serve now are their shareholders.

I am afraid that Nuno looks like a slimy used car salesman. The type you shake hands with and then check that you still have all your fingers.

My best mate will not do anything online such as pay bills, do his banking, be on social media etc., because he says he does not want the government and ATO to know his business. I tried to explain to him that they know when you had your last shit and what was in it. This is just further...

Without doctors like Charlie Teo, medical science will not continue to advance. His patients know and accept the risk factor, with the knowledge that his methods may lead to life saving changes down the track.

This article is spot on, and I have been trying to point this out to my friends for years. Ryobi is a classic example. No one else but Bunnings stocks it. There is no real competition because Mitre 10 runs on a franchise system. Officeworks, who is also owned by Wesfarmers operates in a similar...

Covid helped the banks to accelerate their agenda to get rid of cash. If the Federal government legislate to abolish surcharges on the use of cards, then this will also assist the banks to destroy the cash economy.
