    The question assumes he's a passenger: "If you were travelling on a bus ... " You wouldn't say the driver was "travelling," even though it's technically the case.

    SURVEY - GIVE UP YOUR SEAT

    As I ended my post ... bus drivers can also be passengers. Or does this bus driver only ever board a bus to drive it?

    SURVEY - GIVE UP YOUR SEAT

    Which therefore destroys the punchline. Bus drivers can also be passengers. Or does he pretend he's driving the bus even when he's a passenger? When he plays Bus Driver does he also do the sound fx - vroom vroom, ding!, screeeeech ... ?

    SURVEY - GIVE UP YOUR SEAT

    Fail. Would have been better if he'd said, "I'm  the bus driver." OTOH, I'm sure bus drivers travel in passenger seats when not on duty. So why wouldn't he give up his seat ... ?

    'I simply clicked the link': Man shares how one email put his Centrelink payments at risk

    Haven't been caught that way ... yet But I did receive a "bare bones" text, purportedly from my bank. It looked dodgy. I reported it. Here's the thing: IT WAS ACTUALLY LEGITIMATE! Still, you can't be too careful these days ...

    Services Australia announces major changes to Centrepay system, set to begin in 2025

    As the figures indicate - much better than the Libs. The Liberal Party has been dining out on their self-created myth of being the "better money managers" for decades.

    Services Australia announces major changes to Centrepay system, set to begin in 2025

    Centrepay is useful for some things, such as paying a Centrelink advance, or other loans. Everything else, as you say, is handled via my bank app, coinciding with "pay" day. Easy-as.

    ALDI shoppers shocked by little-known checkout policy that could change your grocery experience

    Good news. I do find it disconcerting when my shop is ready n waiting, drumming its fingers, before I've retrieved my plastic or cash. But what's this about brilliant staff helping people? I've been told by other shoppers that Aldi are "not allowed to help customers," and I can confirm this...
