    Have I not read the article properly? It was about waiting times on the phone. So my reply stands as when phoning Centrelink I have never got through in the times stated.

    We have waited more often than not over 2 and a half hours to speak to someone. Doesn’t matter what time of day it is. Never ever have we been answered in the time stated in this article. It is disgustin!

    Hang on a minute. Government staff are not expected to work many years same as Prime Ministers or Premiers. They only work for around 7 years then they get a full pension plus their super and retire. Why can’t it be the same for us? Why should we have to work our entire lives then drop dead just...

    We have manned and self service checkouts at Reynella SA however the self service checkouts with the conveyor belts are never open. This causes huge lines waiting for service. It is beyond a joke!

    Cheap and easy Easter recipes that won't break the bank

    Coles supermarket reveals dramatic store overhaul – effective immediately
