    Small business accuses Commbank of making cash ‘actively difficult’ to use

    What a joke. Money is their business and they don't want you in the bank for personal service, we provide you with a machine to count your money. Just disgusted with the lack of personal service, that's why I'm leaving. It doesn't matter to them I suppose but it doesn't matter what they do from...

    Senior Aussies urged to follow 'rentirerment' scheme to free up 137,000 homes

    That won't work if you're on the pension and you're out of the country for a certain amount of time they won't pay you the pension. This is my understanding. All good if you're self-funded but not too many doing that and then it's reporting to the taxation department because you're earning...

    'Rampant issue': Author exposes ‘mediocre customer service’ as technology advances

    I don't do self-serve and pay cash always. I think the loss of interaction is the reason the world has so many mental issues. Young people are not learning how to interpret voices or facial expressions or how to interact with diverse groups of people. To the point where some children have never...

    Greens propose potential solution to affordability crisis amidst rising living costs

    How about doing the same thing to the Banks, just look at their profit. Wont happen in a million years. To be seen as doing something is what political parties are good at, grandstanding while making sure they keep their pay rises coming.

    Caught on camera: Frustrated customer exposes Australia Post's 'locked gate' excuse

    Most of the time my delivery guys are great but about 3 months ago I had a parcel never arrive and I didn't pick it up for about 3-4 weeks and when I checked (track from order) it said it had been delivered with a signature, but no luck and I guess someone got some diamond dot paintings for free.

    Social media crackdown looms in one Aussie state—here's what you need to know

    Why are parents not doing their job. As a country we are overregulated, we need to take responsibility for our own decision making. It shouldn't be up to the government, it's up to the parents to teach their children about life choices.

    Bring home the wagyu: Man allegedly steals $12,000 worth of meat more than 27 times

    Stealing is still stealing. If it's to feed your family that's different, still wrong but I could understand that.

    ‘Cheapest fuel in a decade’: Find out where motorists are racing for 99-cent petrol sale!

    I understand people need to save money but I think to fill your tank should be the limit, I don't live there but I still think it would be better for each person to fill their tank and move on, not take a 600ltr storage tank to fill. It's greedy and selfish.

    3 months is not long enough for what she has done and put them through, Our court system is week and people don't care about what they do to others, seriously 3 months for 100,000 dollars is ridicules.

    Online buyers be aware

    Unfortunately people dont read things, even for sale adds. I sell a bit on Market Place and the number of times people will ask , WHATS THE PRICE, it's there in the add. We need to take responsibility for reading the fine print instead of just pressing buttons and then saying that the platform /...

    Ask Joy: Negotiating Your Rights And Wishes

    We lost a daughter in 2009, Sara wasn't 19. Life was very hard for so many reasons not just losing her, people don't understand the Super Rules which are way different from what people think. Super beneficiaries need to be updated regularly, even if it's the same person, just so it can't be...

    Driving shift: Millions of state’s motorists gear up for major licence change

    I don't want one. It's just another way for hackers to get all your information and the government to know where you've been and what your doing. I will fight not to have mine digital all the way and I bet it will be more expensive to boot. The government isn't working for us at all, when will...

    When I buy Pepsi Max and go through the Manned Checkout they scan the Pepsi first. My checkout operator said they have been told that's the way it is going to be now. Been that way for a while now.
