    Hidden charges alert: Aussies could be owed a fortune after $145 million illegal fees exposed!

    😂 I'll be in that. I think I was charged $1.19 fee, so 20 bucks would be ok with me!

    Hidden charges alert: Aussies could be owed a fortune after $145 million illegal fees exposed!

    Would you trust govt to do that? We do not have the processes in place needed to ensure transparency. They are already building houses - what could stop them claiming the $145 mil was spent in housing, without transparency processes?

    Yes we love to biff them when we are unhappy. But good on you for highlighting this generous activity from Coles. That made my day.

    Are you getting your ‘free’ products from Coles? Find out about this secret ‘loophole’ before it’s gone!

    Our daughter-in-law wanted to help us out, and asked us to trial online orders. She did the ordering and we refunded to her what she spent. I could not believe how good the quality of the fruit and veg was. It was better than what I might have chosen. So we tried the other major supermarket...

    Are you getting your ‘free’ products from Coles? Find out about this secret ‘loophole’ before it’s gone!

    Totally agree. Would you like it if people do this to you if you are in business. It's an abuse. Coles are making an offer to meet people half-way. Why abuse that? End result: Coles will block your substitutions, and it may mean the end of this compromise for all shoppers. Australians are...

    Attention, Aussies: Are YOU at risk of a snowballing $330 fine? Find out now!

    I wonder if I can get to speak to your son. I have some taxation issues that will require some inside compassion. But believe me, I am not expecting any sympathy from the ATO> I know they have a job to do, and they do not make the laws, but I believe they do have some flexibility on how the law...

    Attention, Aussies: Are YOU at risk of a snowballing $330 fine? Find out now!

    If you are a Labor supporter, you could be (and darned well should be) embarrassed that your Party is handling public money so contemptuosly. See attachments. Don't feel too bad though - the LNP will behave exactly the same once Labor is booted - they are the Uniparty that One Nation speaks...

    Attention, Aussies: Are YOU at risk of a snowballing $330 fine? Find out now!

    BruceC You need to look at more contempory usage of the word "Imprimatur." There instances of where it is used as a form of mandate or permission, or approval. You are correct in its original usage. Thanks for highlighting - we can all learn something - even me, though most of what I know is in...

    Major Aussie bank cuts interest rates on savings accounts: New conditions leave savers scrambling

    I am amazed that people are like chooks. Just keep going back to the same feeding pot, until one day they get caught and plucked! I know most of you reading this who have banked with the Big 4 all of your lives, will continue to do that. So I am not talking to you - continue on and keep...

    Attention, Aussies: Are YOU at risk of a snowballing $330 fine? Find out now!

    The ATO was being lenient through the Covid years, but no more. Now they are ruthlessly cracking down and no longer extending payment times w/o penalties. They have a history recently of bankrupting large, well-known corporations who owe them money. All this to appease an ever more wastrel...

These included a staggering * 300 per cent rise in energy costs * the high cost of raw milk * the impact of interest rate increases On reading the editorial for this report, it seems to me that the business model was tipped over...

    From confusion to clarity: myGovID app gets a fresh new identity soon!

    How does name calling, like "paranoid nutter" help people who are already the highest % affected by scams? I find that offensive, but in reading Greg350's other posts, it seems he gets off on elder abuse. Take a coffee break, Greg350. We can look after ourselves, thanks.

    Big pay rise for over 5 million Aussies: What you need to know

    I'm also grateful - who wouldn't be, to be unable to work, and receive help with food and rent and energy. It is NOT ok for our successive governments to allow mining companines to be let off from collective $billions in taxes over the years, while holding back on giving those on welfare what...

    Used to grab a $5 crossword scratchie and play with it over a coffee and muffin. But don't do it now, or bother with Lotto. Everytime I walk past the Newsagency on my way to Coles, I see the Jackpots posters, but have stopped dreaming, and no longer bother with an entry. I get my jollies from...

    The increases are $21/week ... not $42 ... unless you mean prices will double what the rises cover.

    Big pay rise for over 5 million Aussies: What you need to know

    Depends where you live. Some municipalities DO give quite generous pensioner discounts in their rates. Which state or municipality are you from? Caloundra Councils LOCKS IN the rates until after the property is sold at least they used to when I lived on the Sunny Coast.
