Awwww, whinge, whinge, whinge, whinge! I KNOW there are cameras in every store and not just supermarkets. I am not bothered by it because, unfortunately, with so many thieving shoppers around, they are a necessity. I exclusively use the self service checkouts because I am sick of having a...

After fracturing two vertebrae last year, I was unable to walk distances and stand in line and was using a wheelchair to board a flight to Perth. I found Qantas staff extremely helpful. I simply don't believe anything what that woman was saying!

Years ago I lived in a unit and in the unit above mine was a retired widower in his late sixties. Well, he found a lady of about the same age and on many summer weekend afternoons, they would be having a wonderful time with the bedroom window open. They were married within a year and I sure...

Why would someone with a dairy intolerance buy a milk baking chocolate?

Considering that Levi Strauss designed denim jeans as hard-wearing pants for miners, the concept of buying "designer jeans" is more than a bit ridiculous! As long as they fit and are long wearing, it does not matter how much or how little one spends on them.

I guess you do not own a mobile phone? Unless it is a weekend, I can check the transaction and the alance of my account by logging into my bank account on my mobile within seconds of using a card. Weekends will show the transaction but the payment won't be processed until the following Monday...

When the power goes out then none of the cash registers will work, regardless of whether they accept cash or not!

Don't like them? Don't use them then. It only means that those of us who prefer self check-outs won't have to wait for you.

The government put it into the hands of each state and authorised energy companies to deduct the discount from accounts held by people in receipt of discounts. Eligibility for this differs in each state, for example, in WA I would receive an energy discount for having a Senior Health Care Card...

It has been in the news since the budget was handed down in May.

By the way, MY CHILDREN and I are paying for YOUR PENSION!!! Keep that in mind as well when you abuse single mothers!

littleboy8 was quite correct with her comment! It is YOUR attitude towards women that is not only disgusting, but unacceptable!!! Your tirade is against women, but what about the MEN that are creating single mothers? I was 19 when I gave birth to my oldest son back in 1966. And I was single...

It is one thing buying new appliances because the existing ones break down or no longer meet requirements and a total waste of resources to upgrade because there are newer and shinier ones available. Yes, new appliances may use less power, but how long will it take to recoup $500 in electricity...

Something similar happened to me some years ago at one of my rental properties. After the tenant moved out, I had the electricity connected in my name to do some cleaning and maintenance at the property. When I received the bill, the commencement meter reading was considerably less than what...

It's actually $28,514, plus you get discounts on your electricity and gas as well as other concessions. Also keep in mind that you had some 40 to 50 years of employment during which time you could - or rather should have saved towards your retirement.

EVERY superannuation fund comes with insurance! If a member does not wish to have that insurance, they must OPT OUT!!! Your friend would have seen on his annual statement that insurance premiums were deducted IF he had actually READ the statement! He has no one to blame but himsel!!!!

Why is it up to the super funds to identify multiple member accounts? Surely, if someone has super it is THEIR responsibility to satisfy themselves that the money is not in multiple accounts! Members receive annual statements and if they receive more than one statement from one or several...

Thanks, but no thanks

Yeah, nah! I very rarely do online shopping and then only to order something I cannot get in local stores. I am also no interested in click and collect.

Having lived in Australia for 54 years, I have never heard of a dog's Christmas celebration! Apart from that, every country has its own Christmas traditions and regardless of where one lives, kids always find it hard waiting for the next Christmas to come around. I grew up in Austria and...
