    Customer fights for his rights after experiencing $12K fraud: 'It was shocking'

    How do you know "he didn't give anyone his sensitive information etc . . . ". Everybody who has engaged in internet transactions has given away sensitive information. It's a question of knowing exactly to whom we are giving that information and making absolutely sure that it's a legitimate entity.

    Passenger bites fellow traveller mid-flight in shocking airborne brawl

    One remarked: ‘You know it’s the UK when people are head-butting.’!!! It's ridiculous nationalistic or partisan comments like that that might start an altercation.

    Trump signs controversial executive orders on his first day, sparking outrage!

    His 'team' are nearly all vehement supporters of his, so it's no surprise that the majority will agree with him. Any opponents are sidelined and ignored. In a viable democratic system, there is a due process of debate by elected representatives in Parliament, including political opponents...

    Trump signs controversial executive orders on his first day, sparking outrage!

    When a swag of unilateral executive orders can become law without consultation with the elected Government, then dictatorship prevails and Democracy has come to an end. There are definitely lessons to be learned before any republican regime is established in our country.

    'That's criminal!': Customers clamour about bank's outrageous fees

    We all need to realise that banks have costs; rent or purchase of their properties, utilities, insurance, staff costs, etc, etc. We should not expect them to look after our money for free. Their costs are covered by a combination of fees and return on investment of our money on deposit. They...

    Report calls on overhaul of current superannuation system with simpler tax rules

    "Firstly, the report proposes a uniform tax rate of 10 per cent on all superannuation." Surely this should read ". . . on all superannuation contributions." As written, it is a broad brush and ambiguous statement and there is lots of other ambiguity in this report. I just wish reporters would...

    Venues across Australia spark debate by opting out of Australia Day celebrations

    I'm not sure that's correct. Aboriginees were not granted citizenship until 27th May 1967. I'm sure Australia Day had been celebrated long before that - 1938 I believe which was 50 years after the landing of the First Fleet.

    Australia Post hints at price jumps for several services

    Me too. I don't think people have stopped sending Christmas cards because of the cost of postage. They send e-cards because it's easy, quick, cheap and saves a lot of hand writing. For the country to complain about the cost of postage, then spend millions on gifts, food, decorations, travel etc...

    Australia Post hints at price jumps for several services

    I don't think people will return to sending letters even if it were free. If anybody has a better business plan for Auspost, please let us know what it is instead of incessantly complaining. We still need a postal service and we shouldn't have to subsidise huge losses year on year, so increased...

    Flights to this famous holiday destination cancelled after dangerous volcanic activity

    . . . . so why should the airline get to keep the money that was paid for all those tickets and not take any responsibility for getting their passengers home? They'll be laughing all the way to the bank again; getting to keep the money and not pay for the flight, crew, fuel, landing fees etc.

    Local expresses outrage over council's 'eco-friendly' billing approach: 'The public was not consulted'

    There is a case for home office expenses, especially internet subscription, to be tax deductable; especially as all levels of Government and businesses require us to have a computer with internet access for a multitude of purposes. A printer, paper and ink are unnecessary. My printer seized up...

    You won't believe this obscure road rule that could get you pulled over by the cops! Discover it now before you're the next one stopped!

    Thankyou for bringing this to our attention; however, the full set of rules 300 are more complicated so the law enforcers can always make a case in their favour. I understand from the rules that the phone must be in a secure holder while in use if the engine is running.
