    This Aussie state’s drivers unlock massive convenience with game-changing digital update!

    Tried that and was told my digital licence was “not available”. Maybe cos it’s about to expire. Shall wait and see. BTW the first trial in Ballarat failed as email addresses were mixed up. They must have changed a few connections around now.

    Debit dismay: Australians tapped out by hidden fees face cashless conundrum

    A few weeks ago we did a medium (to us) sized shop at Aldi. I paid using my phone. After checking out I noticed on the receipt that we were charged an extra $1.40 in card fees. The next time we shopped there I got out of my wallet my actual eftpos card and inserted it. Guess what. NO FEES!! We...

    Now there’s a thought!! We have all been brought up with the warning that foodstuffs such as meat and fish should not be refrozen once defrosted. The reason being that any bacteria introduced during the initial defrosting could be frozen within the product and not killed by the refreezing...

    Thousands experience skyrocketing insurance bills to 300 per cent: ‘I was fuming’

    It is important to remember that insurance companies do not honour or respect loyalty. Even though you may have had good service for years another company could give as good a service for a cheaper price, given the chance. Ask around and then shop around.
