    Cash con: Restaurant takes a bite out of bogus bills, dishing out lessons in hospitality industry

    And many people are the mad bandwagon to keep cash. 😂😂😂 I'm glad I use my debit card all the time. If anything happens to it then I just stop it with the bank and nothing should be lost. 👍 If you get a dodgy $50/100 note you're immediately out of pocket.😁 A place like this should insist...

    Egg shortage alert! This new Coles policy can impact your next grocery run!

    Will this be like the toilet paper shortage? 🙄 If people are told enough times there's a shortage they'll believe it. 🙄 It's only Victoria that has this and they're the third highest egg producers with 19%, behind Queensland, 31%, and New South Wales 34%. 7 billion eggs are produced a year...

    You mean these current bad times. It didn't happen like this many years ago.

    Experts raise concern as surge in contagious virus cases threatens Aussie babies and seniors

    It’s about being immunised about RSV which affects mainly young children and infants under the age of six months and the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems, which can lead to more severe respiratory illnesses like pneumonia and bronchiolitis. If there's allegedly something wrong...

    Experts raise concern as surge in contagious virus cases threatens Aussie babies and seniors

    As you have said "People like to throw stuff around as if they are experts.". Obviously this includes you. Where's any proper information about Ivermectin being used to treat cancer? All that has been said is it could do, but nothing definite. It's an antiparasitic drug mainly used on horses and...

    Upcoming 3G network shutdown raises concerns for elderly reliant on medical alarms

    Best to do some proper research. Every phone company in the world will be shutting down 3G (old technology) between now and 2030. Is it some conspiracy that all round the world the telco's will find it more profitable to sell their subscribers "whatever system they want to sell us"?😂

    Upcoming 3G network shutdown raises concerns for elderly reliant on medical alarms

    Don't bring all seniors into it. There's many that know what to do. My dad was 85. He knew all about his phone and done his online shopping himself. Anything he didn't know, he phoned to ask me. And depending in what state you're in there's government help with digital stuff. In NSW...

    Freewallet continues the deception!

    I got as far as 'cryptocurrency' and stopped reading. If people want to try for a get rich quick scheme that's up to them. If they get conned, that's also up to them.🙄

    Stop this driving habit or risk losing $514 and your driving licence!

    For all the "old fashioned" map people. Obviously a map you've had for years can't be updated quickly to cover any new roads. For a one off payment why not invest in a GPS? Just sticks on to a mount in the corner of your dashboard. You don't need to keep looking at it as you can listen to it's...

    Experts raise concern as surge in contagious virus cases threatens Aussie babies and seniors

    There's always one person trying to be clever and not knowing what they're talking about. 🙄 This alleged poison has kept millions of kids healthier over the years.

    Stop this driving habit or risk losing $514 and your driving licence!

    Why is this a problem? P players are amongst the worst drivers. It's a very good rule to stop them even touching their phone while driving. They couldn't be trusted to not use them while driving. Let them pull into a side road, and park, if they're so desperate to use their phone. Nearly all...

    Travel troubles Down Under: Scammer turns families’ dream holidays into nightmares

    I used to use a travel agent many years ago when it was harder to book holidays yourself. These days you can book everything at the touch of a button on your computer and even your phone. Without even leaving your lounge. 😁👍

    Shining light on solar safety: LG sparks urgent recall for overheating batteries

    If solar is so good, especially in this country with so much sun, why hasn't every house got it when they're built? 🤔 The main complaint I've read in local social media groups is about the lack of money people get paid from their energy companies for the electric. I'll stick to paying my...

    Lots at steak: Aussie farmer's Japan trip sparks pricing rumble with supermarket giants!

    I've said that before. The UK has about 10+ main supermarkets, although I keep reading people have the same arguments there about their prices. I bet it's Coles and Woolies that put pressure on to stop them opening here so they can still have their duopoly?😕

    Rising costs, rising crimes: Shoplifting among average Aussies surges amidst economic strain

    Coles and Woolworths have got enough money to have one or two security guards in every store walking around and checking CCTV. May not stop it but people would be more wary about being a criminal.👍 And if I saw someone stealing something I'd report them.

    Advocacy group sheds light on 'dark secret' looming around supermarkets' seafood section

    If I saw one of those stickers, I'd read it then buy the salmon. Not my problem how they catch it. That's down to the fishermen.

    Experts expose truth behind Woolworths Rewards program

    They always send through Booster points to my Woolworths app. I just boost everything but don't always buy what's been boosted. I just buy what I need. Plus a few extras😁 Not bothered how long it takes to get my$10. Any other itemsi I get fromAldi. The best thing is getting a 4c voucher for...

    How to save on Petrol and take the stress out of petrol cheap day

    I've seen that offer before. It's too much hassle. I prefer my 4c fuel voucher on the Woolworths app and a 4c voucher from Origin Energy on their app. Find the local cheapest EG/Woolworths petrol station and you get 8c off a litre. At the moment the cheapest E10 at my local one is $1.81 a...
