Howard administration introduced a levy (in plain English tax) to create a registry. There is a federal one and there are registry in each state and territory and AFAIK they are fully integrated so data is synchronised in both directions. Why do we have another register and who is going to foot...

Weapons of mass distraction - while we have much more pressing economic challenges!

Did you try to buy a block of cheese and shred it at home?

You could do the same with carton boxes without paying for plastic ones! And they are free! Always use them in Costco, Aldi and grout & veg shops, unfortunately they are NOT available in supermarkets who force you to buy plastic bags!

Speaking of water - there are no free water fountains anywhere, you can not refill water in public bathroom because majority of them do no have a cold tap water - so there is something weird going on to force you to but 5 dollars water bottles. And also there are wise government leaflets - keep...

I gave up Woolworth loyalty program (have no clue how it operates with expired points) still stick with FlyBuys but there is new kid in town Microsoft Rewards point - you do not need to spend a cent to get approx 120 per year by doing 10 min daily routine.

Please do not blame people for taking advantage of convoluted welfare system. They did not do anything illegal (even it morally questionable) and the only solution is to close this legal loophole. Unfortunately nobody understand rules of Centrelink operation and government does not bother to...

The whole story is reincarnation of The Simpsons episode where in shopping Center all food outlets with fancy facades are using the same generic burger meat :)
