    Did ABC make a huge mistake by replacing a fan favorite with Hamish Macdonald? Here’s what really happened

    What happened to "your Abc". It belongs to someone, but not us the viewers and listeners.

    Banking used to be a teller, a cuppa, and a chat…now it’s a chatbot and ‘press 9 to hold’

    I was working for Bendigo Bank in 1997 when they introduced Community bank branches. They carried the Bendigo bank logo, used their systems but were owned and run by the community who invested their money into them. The profits were split between the bank and the community. These were mainly set...

    IF FOUND GUILTY, remove his testicles with a blunt knife and no anesthetic! The law is too soft on this scum.

    Tired of your local bank disappearing? This Big Four player is flipping the script with a $55 million plan

    I think what we are seeing here is just a case of smoke and mirrors. As a former, middle management bank manager, don"t trust them!

    Former worker exposes Centrelink truth: 'It's a joke'

    Firstly, I would like to say that Centrelink is not alone as an organisation that protects and promotes bullies rather than sack them. Secondly, their staff are a mixed bag, with some wanting to help, but having their hands tied by red tape and rules, and others, including supervisors I have...

    A light for the lost: Honouring the tireless advocate for Australia’s most vulnerable youth

    I am not Catholic, and have very little respect for the Catholic Church as a whole. But Father Chris Riley was an exception. I greatly respected this man and his work. RIP.

    Footy legend (77)’s death reignites discussion over hidden career story

    Quite obviously you are neither South Australian or a North Adelaide fan. I also suspect you never saw him play. The South Australian government have offerred his family a state funeral. They don't hand them out like lollies. And no, I am not a North Adelaide supporter but I do recognise true...

    Millions of Aussies face surprise payment rule shake‑up—are you ready?

    Firstly, you are not an old tosser, you are quite right with your suspicions. I spent 25 years working in the banking industry, and they are only concerned with lowering their costs, lowering their risk and increasing their profits., nothing the banks of today do, is to help you or me. We are...

    From congratulations to cruel comments: A personal moment for Billy Brownless targeted by social media trolls

    Many of us have shit happen in our personal lives, often similar to Billy or sometimes worse. The difference is, most of us are not public figures, so people don't give a rats arse about our ups and downs. Rightly or wrongly, the negative shit goes with the territory when you are a public figure.

    Bendigo Bank to close 10 branches, leaving some regional towns without financial services

    I worked for Bendigo Bank in the late 90's as a manager in their Bendigo Head Office. At that time they were all about expanding their network into country towns or creating community banks in those towns. They were one of the largest employers in Bendigo. That was what set them apart from the...

    Big banks spark outrage over changes that could quietly drain Aussie wallets

    I started in the banking industry in 1974 and was in banking for 26 years finishing in middle management. When I started my carrer banking was a SERVICE industry. Now it is all about making maximum returns for shareholders and bonuses for board members and executives. None of what banks do today...

    hMPV is likely one of the viruses making us sick this winter. Here’s what to know about human metapneumovirus

    My wife and I both had our flu shot and Covid booster two months ago. A week ago my wife tested positive to Covid. She has not been as ill since she had chemo for cancer a few years ago. Somehow, I avoided Covid this time around, and it is usually me that comes down with everything. Just shows...

    Still feel like you’re missing out on discounts everyone else seems to know about? This might be why

    Like most things as a retiree, it is up to you to spend your time digging around to find anything that can be of financial assistance in your "GOLDEN" Years. No one else is going to do it for us.

    Scott Morrison receives country's highest honour for leading Australia through COVID crisis

    When I first heard this I thought it was a joke. Then I sadly realised it was not April 1St. I have two questions. 1) which idiots nominated him and 2) which idiots approved it?. This man is a serial liar who could not even decide that rape was a shocking and evil act until he referred it to...
