    Services Australia under fire as audit office discovers rampant errors in Centrelink payments

    Contact Family Advocate and Support Services (FASS) to determine your eligibility for legal funding to sort out property settlement. Call your local MP office first thing Monday to tell them the immediacy of your needs, asking could they intervene on your behalf. They will.

    Services Australia under fire as audit office discovers rampant errors in Centrelink payments

    Please send a copy of your ordeal to local MP. If enough of us stand up to be counted, maybe someone in Canberra will listen. Sorry you are having to deal with such behaviour.

    Services Australia under fire as audit office discovers rampant errors in Centrelink payments

    I am not questioning the humanity of those who work at Centrelink. Indeed, a computer is only as good as the humanly programmed information it receives. To then turn around and blame the computer, well that is so Orwellian. We don't expect perfection, just accountability and consistency. That...

    Services Australia under fire as audit office discovers rampant errors in Centrelink payments

    File a police report if you have not already. Contact the Legal Aid group in your state or territory for advice. Then contact your bank telling them you wish to speak with a client representative about making a significant interest bearing investment. When they call you (in five minutes), tell...

    Services Australia under fire as audit office discovers rampant errors in Centrelink payments

    I think they are channeling their accountancy team from the 1400s. The Dark Ages. Their numbers make no sense even with basic numeracy skills. Try calling them up to query. You'll either die before they answer (or wake up the next day still listening to their music). Or better yet, your call is...

    The harsh reality of the rental crisis through the eyes of a 71-year-old evictee

    Capitalism doesn't have to be the antithesis of community mindedness. If someone lived that long in one of my properties I would try to assist in some way. It doesn't cost anything to be kind. "Blessed is she who expects nothing, for she will never be disappointed." The writer Catherine Ponder...

    The harsh reality of the rental crisis through the eyes of a 71-year-old evictee

    This is inhumane. Given her tenure there the owners of the property should at the very least assist her in some way, in finding a new place or giving her extra time to find another property. Gutless wonders.

    Your emoji is appropriate but gross. :)

    Double Recall Alert: Ford and Comsol products have safety concerns

    This is tip of the iceberg from what I hear. Some car models have up eleven computers installed on a single vehicle. Given that a computer is only as good as the information it is given by imperfect humanoids or AI instructed versions of ourselves I say God help us. How was this defect even...

    Emotional Tears and Joy: Terri Irwin Reveals Exciting News

    One would have thought Steve's Dad should be part of their business. But we are not privy to the backstory I guess. Too bad there wasn't something in place to assure him of a role. I am reminded of how Bob Jane was treated by his own family member who usurped the tyre business. Narcissists...

    Fiona Phillips opens up about Alzheimer's diagnosis at 62: ‘It's heartbreaking’

    Disease is big business. There really is no incentive for cures if you've noticed. Some researchers are different: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/551532/the-end-of-alzheimers-by-dale-e-bredesen-md/ There is a protocol for reversing Alzheimer's. It isn't a death sentence. Maybe Kate...

    Strange find at Coles Checkout leaves shopper fuming: ‘You realise six and seven-year-olds can read, yeah?’

    Buy locally made, spray free jams. Cottees is owned by corporate group Kraft Heinz, based in USA. It originated in Aus back in 1927. KH are about profit, not nutritionally valued foods. Not long ago, two of their high ranking executives were caught cooking the books (fraud), so greed is part of...

    Woman calls it quits with her bank after being denied access to her own funds: 'What's the point of a bank?'

    There needs to be a consumer advocacy group funded by the corporations or Consumer and Business Services that helps people with such matters. It isn't fair on a lot of levels as it is now. Maybe I will start one.

    Woman calls it quits with her bank after being denied access to her own funds: 'What's the point of a bank?'

    Are there any social services in your area to assist? If you need help finding, tell me your general location/township and I will find the info for you and send via SDC post. People can help. You just need to ask.

    Woman calls it quits with her bank after being denied access to her own funds: 'What's the point of a bank?'

    Layer by layer, the 1% are slowly taking away our freedoms. The Citizen's Party are at the front line.

    Strange find at Coles Checkout leaves shopper fuming: ‘You realise six and seven-year-olds can read, yeah?’

    I recently started filling out an online questionnaire relating to a weight loss program (6kg) and it asked me what gender I was assigned to at birth! This may seem a harmless question for some people. But fast forward 20 years from now. If we keep bending to these small changes we will be...
