    Credit crunch: Seniors struggle to swipe plastic in age of banking reforms

    I had a problem after my Husband had Passed away. I kept on meaning to take him to the bank and change it over to my name. As I paid any bills online, bought and paid for Air tickets etc. The list goes on. We had a joint account, and when I drew money out, he would get a portion...

    Tell them that rather than presents, you would much rather be taken out to dinner. Or vouchers so can buy what you want or need. Your `Children` sound a bit insensitive.

    Can Centrelink payment hikes boost music festival participation?

    It is a problem if you can`t get a job in your area. And now it`s harder for young people to even get part time work in Supermarkets, since a lot have gone to self serve, and only have a couple of Staffed checkouts. But, unfortunately there is so many young ones on the dole, who smoke...

    Australians’ impatient road manners drive this expat crazy!

    Definitely. And don`t get confused in Australia on a roundabout, or whether one is in the right lane. Not many people will give way to you. When we were driving in England, we often thought, oh, in the wrong lane, blinker on, people would stop and let us through. Not...

    Foliage fiasco: Retiree roots for justice against council's hefty fine!

    Maybe locals can counter fine Councils for lack of care of Council Nature strips, that are not mown often enough, if the Resident declines to mow such Nature strips. I have seen so many Council areas that have long grass, grass growing over the pavement, weeds growing along cracks in...

    Homeowners stung with a six-figure bill as pests make a costly meal out of their property!

    Definitely, The Pest control Company should come to the party. Also, it really annoys me that all States have different rules and regulations. Not only about buying and selling houses, but cars, etc You name it, its all different. Why can`t every State get on the same page...

    Is your wallet about to become obsolete? Discover when Australia plans to go completely cashless

    Today, it was just as well I could use CASH. As the Internet was down at a certain store where I was buying an item of $180 If they didn`t accept cash I would have just left it and probably would not have bothered at all. Would not have gone to another store. Would have gone without...

    What is wrong with people. Sometimes, trying to find parking if going to an appointment, if you are visiting someone, or like me who volunteers at the Hospital. I have to park in a suburban street, Staff, and so do many people who have appointments. As long as one is not blocking...

    Patients move to this country for better dementia care: ‘This is what they deserve’
