I am greatly in support of keeping cash for several reasons (charity collection, homeless on the street, children learning about money, garage and car boot sales, buskers, etc) even though I haven't had any cash in my pocket since the height of Covid. Tapping that bit of plastic on a machine is...

Disgraceful by Qantas. The customer should have been put first, especially this one. The staff member should have been given an economy seat. It was only Brisbane to Cairns after all.

'How did your kids get to the shopping trolley safely?' another commenter asked Dobson. 'Did you leave them in the car alone and get the trolley? Or were they portable enough to make it without a trolley?' Good questions. Just do the reverse of picking up the trolley. Supermarket carparks are...

Any time that I have large sums of money to transfer to a new payee, I always send a test run with a small amount of money, then check that it arrived correctly before sending the rest.

It's really scary when the number called (133 464) is the correct number according to the contact number on the ING website but went to the scammers. Any of us could have fallen for that. ING needs to investigate how that happened and check the integrity of their website. Any time that I have...

It's primarily the Govt and banks that are pushing to go cashless. Children need cash to learn about money; homeless people on the street and buskers need cash; charity tin collectors need cash; a lot of older people prefer cash; car boot and garage sales prefer to deal in cash.

The family could/should have obtained internet access to the mothers' account and checked it frequently. Perhaps they could also have stipulated that withdrawals were limited to a much more reasonable amount per day or per transaction.

Possibly not the daughter. It's not clear from this report whether the bank verified her identity. It's possibly somebody who had earned the trust of the mother and is scamming her. The bank should have CCTV so that an enquiry can investigate such things.

My niece underwent what was meant to be routine abdominal surgery a couple of years ago. In the process it turned out to be advanced cancer and she died within a few months. We just don't know how this is panning out for Catherine. She needs time, and peace away from the media spotlight and...

We have a choice: Participate responsibly in recycling and rubbish disposal programmes, or increase Council rates to pay somebody else to do it for us, or live on a rubbish tip of a planet.

I find this amusing and I'm somewhat in support. There doesn't seem to be any penalty involved. Rubbish disposal is arguably the biggest issue affecting the health of this planet. Incorrect recycling is a waste of money. Either the Council has to spend extra time and resources to separate the...

I am confident our rewards programme(s) save us money on a monthly or annual basis. I'm not inclined to spend my time doing the rounds of 3 or 4 supermarkets checking prices in case I might be able to save a few more dollars by that means. Also, I'm sure a whole of swag of entities and Companies...

The operative words here are "in most cases". In most cases, pilots do warn people to make sure their seat belt is on, but sometimes the forces of nature are quite unpredictable. In any case, all seated people should have had their seat belt on.

I would expect a lawyer to conduct himself with a bit more respectability. I wouldn't hire him. I am surprised that Woolworths accepted the application in such a name. It was clearly somebody aiming to ridicule the system. I have been a Rewards member for several years and it pays for my...

It's interesting that all these comments are in support of the airline and for keeping the seat belt on at all times when seated. That simple piece of advice may have saved many injuries and I hope it will be taken into account for anybody that chooses to take action against the airline. My...

Quite right; the answer given is the consequence of millions of people watching that episode, not the reason why they watched it.

Surely the only way to associate these offences with this man would be to sight the driving licence. So it seems the law enforcement officer didn't check that the offending driver was the legitimate owner of the licence. Based on this report, there doesn't seem to be any connection between this...

I can well understand that Katoomba-Leura is not big enough to support 4 major banks profitably any longer but, hopefully it can support at least one bank if most people moved to it.

I don't understand the expression: "What's more, the two heads are rotated 180 degrees from each other, a contrast to the standard alignment on regular coins." The coin is not meant to have two heads which is why it is so valuable, so how can the misalignment of 180 degrees be in contrast to the...

Kids will be kids, albeit sometimes excitable and noisy but the rest of us need to have a bit of understanding and patience. It sounds like Lauren handled her girls pretty well explaining about the support dog and I can't believe anybody has perfectly behaved children as the older woman claims.
