    Vandals behead and cover historic monument in red paint on King’s Birthday

    Kids wagging school? It was done at night by adults. Yes may not be racist, plenty of anti royals around, though it's rather extreme and yet pointless protest.

    Commonwealth Bank urges Aussies to net phishing fraudsters before tax time tangles

    While I would say I could never be scammed, I certainly would not fall for any of the three shown. Too many $$ for a legitimate refund from any govt agency. And yeah, don't click on any links. There was a link for something in an SDC story that I didn't even click on. Scammer can embed fake...

    There must be people still going otherwise the ski operators would be whinging to the Govt wanting a handout.

    Grab exclusive deals and wallet-friendly bargains at this Savers mega-shop!

    Doubt you get any great bargains as mentioned. Prices in Vinnie's etc have gone up a fair bit lately. My local sells Kmart brand for the same price of new.

    No gear? ALDI shoppers share grim Special Buys situation

    I pondered this the other day. And honestly I don't think the coalition would be able to manage the situation any better. They were the ones who did all the rate rises. Now the current government has to try and put a saddle on that runaway train. Not saying they're doing a great job but...

    A cunning bank scam wipes out couple's $240,000 life savings—are your funds at risk, too?

    How else would you find a phone number besides googling it? And the number is correct 133464. The customer rang it not the bank employee. Not Suncorp at fault.

    A cunning bank scam wipes out couple's $240,000 life savings—are your funds at risk, too?

    I think the biggest fault lies with Ing and Telcos. Banks should be searching for illegitimate websites bearing their brand. And the Telcos should have measures in place to stop routing of phone numbers. Suncorp are not at fault. The teller suggested they call the ING, which by the story the...

    Warning to all members - Remote access scams costing victims tens of thousands...

    This is not a new scam. I had a call some 20 years ago while on my computer. He wanted me to do this and that, and because I was not very up with stuff at that time, I said I'd have to ask hubby. He kept pushing and I kept saying no. Eventually one of us hung up. So anyone by now should know not...

    A breakfast staple is declining in the market—should you be worried?

    In one part of the story it said that Australia makes up the shortfall in its market. Good. But then suggested that with increased production etc, we would need to source overseas markets. Why? If we could increase our own production then we would have plenty for our own supply needs. Weird...

    Pensioners to get cash boost in upcoming July indexation

    Paid Parental Leave is set to increase, aligning with the government's commitment to pay superannuation on Paid Parental Leave from 2025 and to expand leave to 26 weeks by 2026. Luv the governments commitment to make businesses big and small bear the brunt of paying this. It just runs small...
