    Your requests might have been ignored: How thousands of Aussies were let down by ANZ’s silence

    Customers should definitely get compensation and it's about time that was brought in and that's where the fines should be going first and foremost and the customers are the ones wronged, stressed and put through the wringer through no fault of their own.

    ‘Unpopular and unfair’: Aussies hit with massive 40 per cent rate hike

    I can understand councils in flood affected areas having bigger problems than others with repeated repairs and new roads after storm damage etc. Federal state and storm grants don't cover all the devastation and sometimes you've barely recovered from one and the next one has hit. It's heart...

    Your requests might have been ignored: How thousands of Aussies were let down by ANZ’s silence

    I don't understand why anyone who banks with ANZ is still with them after all their dreadful mistakes if one can call it that. they have repeatedly abused their customers to make huge profits with no regrets to turn around and do it again and again. Customers need to walk away and find a better...

    Aussie dad slugged nearly $1400 for 13-minute plumbing 'fix' - and it's not an isolated case

    Well I hope consumer protection or whoever it is finds this jerk and makes him pay all the money back to his ripped off customers and cancels his licence to work and that he and his photo is advertised far and wide and to avoid him like the plague.

    Three homes gutted in early morning blazes spark vacant property security concerns

    With such a housing shortage everywhere why are so many houses vacant in Melbourne. It does not make sense at all and if the owners don't want to live in them or rent them, then sell them so someone else has the opportunity to be housed. Are they homeswest homes I wonder waiting to be fixed? If...

    When getting your mail costs more than a holiday: One man's $1540 Australia Post nightmare

    That's disgraceful. Her bill is being paid promptly and telstra should be thankful for that. Yet another reason not to go with telstra. Just who do they think they are!

    Reused signature among string of issues as home owner left with unfinished build

    This is a disgrace and rogue practices in Tasmania sound as bad as many here in WA and jts the prospective home owners who are out of pocket and dealing with years and years of stress. That should never have been allowed to happen, the work is extremely shoddy at best and unprofessional to...

    When getting your mail costs more than a holiday: One man's $1540 Australia Post nightmare

    And it shouldn't be free until next year, it should be free until the post office is open or an alternative is available that is close. Australia Post will take a big hit from this total lack of customer service. Not good enough. It just defies all logic and you have to wonder about the brains...

    Why cash is making a surprising comeback in Australia—and your bank's chairman agrees

    I am with NAB and they have never locked my card. I know NAB together with all banks have all done things they shouldn't and are only after profits but they have never been anything other than helpful to me so I have no complaints at all. I have been with them since I came to WA in 1987 when...

    Confusion grows over what can safely be brought on public transport

    The trouble is policing it. They can't keep on top of what they need to know across the board so this would only take police away from somewhere else. Too many problems, not enough man power and not enough dollars to pay them.

    TV veteran's drastic move sparks vital conversation for older Australians: 'I am just disgusted'

    Until the politicians or their families are affected themselves unfortunately they have zero understanding and it has always been that way.

    $8.50 for a single bottle of water—should students really be paying this?

    Absolutely beyond disgraceful and needs to be stopped. It's usually an independent individual who owns the vending machines but the university should be keeping an eye on pricing on their property for their students and should have had it removed if prices weren't lowered considerably.

    Confusion grows over what can safely be brought on public transport

    I know common sense is lacking these days but it is surely only meant to be bikes and scooters powered by yourself going on public transport. Anything else should be banned. They need to draw a line in the sand and be done with it and make it Australia wide.

    Copper Coast Council threatens ratepayer with legal action over 'offensive' comment

    He probably should have been more careful with his wording however it certainly gets the message across as to his anger. I think home owners should have parking privileges outside their homes before shoppers. I would not be impressed if I had to park away from my own home and then walk risking...

    TV veteran's drastic move sparks vital conversation for older Australians: 'I am just disgusted'

    It doesn't say much about Victoria. There is so much about it on the news it must be a nightmare to live there. You would not even want to visit these days and the deterrents by judges don't help so I don't see the problem improving anytime soon unfortunately.
