    Telstra rings changes: Mobile plan costs dial up concerns amidst price hikes!

    I'm less than a km from tower At Coles and Woolies they sell Sim cards. You buy the 1 year one. Put it in your phone and set it up. Done for 12 months. Keep an eye on when they have specials.

    State government offers $6,000 payout to Aussie drivers! Are you eligible?

    Until the infrastructure is fully expanded it's not a good option for an EV. Too few stations carrying all the plug ins. Hybrid is still a better choice if you want to get away from a full fuel vehicle. You know when something is a shit idea coz the govt is throwing money at it.

    I don't get your maths. 11,000 cases in 6 months vs 2447 in previous 12 months. Even if there were no more cases, that's still over 4 times as many cases to date. It's a very dangerous disease for babies, so that's the alarm.

    Major retailers face possible breakups following price gouging allegations

    So true. The LNP could have done this when in office. It's not a new situation, just that the media is making mileage out of it now. Controversial, but I think nuclear is not a bad idea. It's just that no one wants it in their backyard.
