    Brain tumour survivor slams Centrelink after support payments cut off mid-recovery

    And driving around in their 4WD bmws, etc. when my $800 car sits dead on my lawn while I’m scrimping and saving the $1500 to get it fixed. I know it would be easier to replace it but because I’m only on DSP, I can’t get a loan. They won’t even approve me for a NILs loan.

    Brain tumour survivor slams Centrelink after support payments cut off mid-recovery

    Thanks for the tip however I have seen staff in the office direct clients to online services, using the computers in the offices. It’s been suggested to me a few times as well and when I’ve brought up that I had uploaded them they tell me to do it again. It’s frustrating for me, let alone people...

    Brain tumour survivor slams Centrelink after support payments cut off mid-recovery

    I still have a request for rental documents that I provided from 4 years ago! I've moved 6 times since then and each address has been updated. The staff in Centrelink only refer you to uploading your documents to your online account, which don't get processed in the necessary time. They system...

    Princess’s absence fuels speculation: ‘Everything that’s been happening is weird’

    the silence may be her way of stepping out of the limelight so King Charles’ condition is the main focus. Princess Kate has always been respectful of her in-laws, despite her and Prince William having their own ‘normal’ life. It has been noted she won’t be back until after Easter, so why the...

    myGov shuts down thousands of accounts linked to ‘scam-in-a-box’ fraud kits from the dark web!

    I'm the same. It's frustrating because of the language barriers. I also hang up if it's my issue, however, if it's for my parents or their friends, I will stay as long as it takes to get their issue resolved. It's completely unfair to our older generation. It makes me so very angry to see you...

    myGov shuts down thousands of accounts linked to ‘scam-in-a-box’ fraud kits from the dark web!

    I'm a younger member of this group. At 46 I consider myself pretty tech savvy, however, the insistence for everything to be digital, from Centrelink to banking and everything in between, makes me angry. I was lucky enough to have computers become mainstream enough that my knowledge began in high...

    This supermarket self-checkout ‘trick’ could land you in trouble!

    Outright theft. She may be paying for the cheaper item but it doesn't help the farmers who grew the more expensive item.

    Kmart shopper shares shocking 'body-shaming' encounter over viral dress

    She looks amazing! It might have been the only size 8 left and the nasty woman wanted it for herself! Unfortunately, most likely not the case. I've grown up with bullying due to my larger size. It's caused me to now live with constant mental health problems. You can take words back, yes, but you...

    Struggling Aussies are left waiting by Centrelink amid the cost-of-living surge

    I'm on DSP and have been battling mental health most of my life. I finally thought I'm well enough to work so I started applying but I'm rejected either by my age or the long time I haven't been able to work. I tried going through a disability employment service but they need approval from...

    Your Android phone could be at risk: This malware can unlock your device and wipe out your bank account overnight!

    If you do find something you need to download an app for, don't click the linked button to download it. Instead, go into either the Google Play Store app on your phone or the Apple one, whatever you do use, and search for it and download it from there. It's also why the companies continually...

    Your Android phone could be at risk: This malware can unlock your device and wipe out your bank account overnight!

    I hear you on this! It still fits though, because the way I get so annoyed when my phone won't stop some days, let's just say that the emotions are similar!

    Your Android phone could be at risk: This malware can unlock your device and wipe out your bank account overnight!

    100% I use mine for business purposes mainly as I previously mentioned and it can be extremely frustrating even for me with all the social media or Google popups and ads, etc. I do use these personally to keep in touch with family and friends, we are all over the country, but I do also use them...

    Your Android phone could be at risk: This malware can unlock your device and wipe out your bank account overnight!

    Exactly. And you usually have to install I understand many people use them as such, however I do use my phone for business. Calendar, design and email to keep in contact with my clients on the go. The long waiting times in doctor's surgeries, and other appointments that I'm waiting to attend...

    Royal Australian Mint unveils commemorative coin celebrating the country's rich cultural heritage

    It did mention it would be legal tender, but not in general circulation, so I'm clueless!
