    Council parking law change to impact caravan and boat owners

    Would you accept this lease? Aussies react to outrageous landlord condition

    It certainly wouldn't suit most people and you wouldn't want your landlord amongst your belongings on a regular basis even though you would have nothing to hide. That is just not on and not realistic either.

    ANZ Bank's latest decision has Aussies asking: What happened to simple signs?

    Most banks are no longer an actual bank. Even if you don't bank there but want to pay a bill there commonwealth bank for example don't let you deposit more than $500. So if your bill us more you can't even pay it in 2 transactions as it has to be done through the ATM and you need to use your...

    Customers lash out over extra fees–but this café owner has a bold response

    It's absolutely not on if they are saying they are laying staff extra but aren't. That's just greed by the owners and actually illegal as they are meant to be lauing penalty rates to their staff and look at all the class actions going on with companies not doing the right thing. Add in all the...

    Promises, promises in election 2025: What major parties are offering older Australians

    Yes in reality we are not getting much of anything. The electricity credit won't go far though better than a kick in the butt but seriously they are not delivering anything. So frankly it does not matter much who we vote for. Which is a real shame for never has there been such a poor bunch of...

    'Everything is in packs': This CEO blew the lid off a $2,500 'scam' at supermarkets!

    I agree but the supermarkets are starting to make more of their specials buy 2 instead of reducing the price of the single item. That is what we are saying. Wrong in principle.

    Liquor stores in this state announce closure on ANZAC long weekend. Why?

    They just have to shop the day before for their alcohol on Friday. It's called planning ahead. It's not hard or rocket science. Perhaps we need to shut them a day a week for a few weeks so they can practice and get used to it.🤔 or it could be that alcohol free day people are trying to say would...

    Residents demand immediate action as retirement dream turns into nightmare

    I hear you and agree. I have always said I would never go into an aged care home. But seriously what are people meant to do when they can no longer care for themselves and live alone. A caravan is no good then either. This country is a disgrace the way it has allowed aged care to be run by...

    'Everything is in packs': This CEO blew the lid off a $2,500 'scam' at supermarkets!

    I was just going to comment on exactly that point. That is one main way the big 2 get you to buy more and it is very wrong in my opinion and is getting more common. Something the ACCC should be jumping on the single price needs to be the cheap price.

    Aussies warned over 'necessary evil' bill shocks during ANZAC Day long weekend

    Not necessarily so. You allow for what you know it to be especially if you go to a place often. Not for what they add as surcharges which sometimes make it beyond ridiculous.
