    Commonwealth Bank replaces dozens of call centre jobs with AI chatbot

    I hope their system is considerably better than most companies are. If you don't use exactly the same words as the system does you will continuously be asked the same question. I hope they are going to respond to emails or I will be finding a bank that does.

    Does it mean a long weekend? I went to school with some indigenous girls (it was a girl's technical high school). One of them often said that a few would give others a bad reputation. Surprisingly I was the one that was regularly bullied, not them

    You could be making this mistake on the road—Why did a horse rider confront a driver?

    Some vehicles will not move as low as 10 kph without stalling. That road looks so narrow it should be one way. I don't think 2 reasonable width vehicles could safely pass. It appears the car may have just come down a slope and may not have seen the horse quick enough. From a cyclist's point of...

    Are Your Kids Safe on Flights? Mum Shocked by Stranger's Disturbing Request to Her 3-Year-Old

    Exactly. Don't touch the child though. Young children do get bored though. We took a 2 y.o. on a plane. He talked a bit like little ones do but he willingly stayed on his seat. The only time he cried was as we getting ready to land. The staff gave him a kids' welcome pack and that amused him...

    Guess which legendary fashion brand just dropped at TVSN (and how you can shop it first)!

    If they are charging an "arm and leg " for they should donate a portion to a worthwhile charity. There are hundreds - including medical ones - that get no Govt. funding at all. Most voluntary emergency services don't either. I know SA SES have / had trucks that are / were 25 years old.

    One wrong step near this tram line—and you may not get a second chance

    When my brother and I were kids we used to watch the trains going through a crossing across the road on the corner of a road where relatives lived until we saw some near misses.
