My problem with this is where do we draw the line. I have no problem with trained dogs. Cats, maybe. But what if someone wants an assistance Rat, Snake, frog, etc., etc. This may sound stupid, but these days, everyone has RIGHTS!! except the majority. All I am saying is, we should tread...

If people are not already doing these things and more, then they are financially illiterate.

I am a former bank employee having served 25 years, with 10 of those years in management. As the CEO of CBA admits in the article, not having cash is a massive saving to Banks. Less Insurance, Less transport costs, less training of staff required, Less OHS needed around cash handling, less...

We were without a mobile service until around 2p.m. this afternoon. As with the Data Breach of last year, any information was minimal at best and still no explanation. Did Optus learn nothing about communication from the last episode? It would appear not!!!! I gave them another chance last time...

As far as I am aware cash is still legal tender in this country. Until that situation changes, a legal challenge to their refusal to take cash would be interesting. This is all about cost cutting as banks are heading down the same path. It is my understanding, that some ANZ branches (if you can...

Services Australia, in particular Centrelink, are currently in one hell of a mess. I updated my finances as required, via MyGov almost four months ago, and those figures have still not been assessed. These updated figures are likely going to reduce my pension. I am concerned that if that is the...
