    Measles on the move: Health department rings alarm at popular hotspots in this Aussie state!

    And it seems they are too selfish to care about the effects these diseases have on others too.

    How one Coles customer's $72 fiasco reveals disturbing truth you need to know!

    They actually don't. Their Blackstone snacks are made by Red Rock, their Belmont biscuits are Arnotts, one of their ranges of frozen pies are Herbert Adams and the list goes on.

    How one Coles customer's $72 fiasco reveals disturbing truth you need to know!

    Lies, lies and more unmitigated lies. It is well-known that ALDI stocks more Aussie products than the other two, and they treat the farmers better too. You have obviously never checked the origins of the food they sell ... yes some are from overseas (like the two majors), but more are Australian.

    How one Coles customer's $72 fiasco reveals disturbing truth you need to know!

    No it would not. Coles Simply is a home brand, whereas ALDI does not have home brand. Just because the brand name may not be familiar does not mean they are poorer-quality items.

    Shocking hidden charge found on restaurant receipt: Could you be overpaying?

    This is NOT a bank charge ... have another look. It is a surcharge for weekends ... nothing to do with the method of payment. The credit surcharge was 30-odd cents. When they post articles like this they rely on people not bothering to look at the receipt themselves and just believing what they...

    Shocking hidden charge found on restaurant receipt: Could you be overpaying?

    I totally agree ... this disinformation suits the agenda of their cash campaign. Plus you can tell from most of the replies to this article that people have just believed that it is a credit card surcharge and have not looked any further to see that it was a weekend staffing surcharge. This is...

    Prepare your wallets: Here are several changes in the new financial year

    Incorrect ... EVERY Australian household is receiving the $300 energy bonus - NOT just those on concession cards. There are many sources verifying this ... this excerpt is from CHOICE. "1. Every household in Australia is eligible for the rebate, but not every Australian. In other words, the...

    Customer slams Domino's over delivery orders: ‘Won't be getting anytime soon’

    Lazy?? OMG you are the one who needs to get a darn life! Some people don't drive and have mobility disorders that make them pretty much housebound. So now the great and wise Lisa has the cheek to call us "lazy"!!! I think the queue for compassion and kindness is to your right. Plus if you had...

    Breaking news: Laybuy's crisis—important updates for your wallet

    Huge assumptions there. It is no different to lay-by except you get the goods immediately. I needed a new mask for my CPAP machine and did not have the funds, but I could easily do it over four interest-free payments. If the company had had lay-by I would have utilised that, but they didn't so I...

    Breaking news: Laybuy's crisis—important updates for your wallet

    There is NOTHING wrong with lay-by at all. Our parents did it, but then in those days stores actually offered the service and so many don't now. It is way more responsible to lay-by than to put the purchase on a interest-charging credit card.

    'No cash accepted': Customers furious over unannounced changes in fast food chain

    It didn't start with COVID. Businesses have never had to accept cash as long as clear signage was displayed stating that. This has been the case for decades.

    'No cash accepted': Customers furious over unannounced changes in fast food chain

    What an ignorant suggestion! So you are fine with food wastage as you know any frozen or refrigerated food CANNOT be returned to the freezer or fridge but MUST be thrown out? You are OK with our prices increasing to cover the cost of the food you are fine with wasting? You really have not...

    'No cash accepted': Customers furious over unannounced changes in fast food chain

    Ummm the franchisee IS Australian, the staff they employ ARE Australian, their chickens ARE Australian-sourced and their suppliers ARE Australian ... do you really want to put people out of work and see businesses fail?

    'No cash accepted': Customers furious over unannounced changes in fast food chain

    No they didn't. You have part of the facts but not all. Andrew Gee is behind a Private Member's Bill that would force individuals and businesses to accept cash payment or face heavy penalties, but it has not gone before Parliament and nor has it been passed yet.

    'No cash accepted': Customers furious over unannounced changes in fast food chain

    Yes, it is legal tender BUT no business is under any obligation to accept it as long as they have clear signage in the store stating that they do not accept cash. That is the law, so they cannot be fined for it.

    'Trapped in poverty'? New statistics reveal grim picture for Centrelink users

    Were you born such a rude and nasty piece of work? Or is it a skill you developed as you got older?

    'Trapped in poverty'? New statistics reveal grim picture for Centrelink users

    Your comment is cruel and childish and probably tells us more about you than we want to know. You are talking out of the same place you plucked that opinion from.

    'Trapped in poverty'? New statistics reveal grim picture for Centrelink users

    What a cruel, nasty and totally uneducated outlook. I worked in welfare for a couple of decades and I am sick to death of people like you who are silly enough to believe the media spin about the unemployed. The majority, the VAST majority, of those unemployed want to work and you choose to use...
