I totally agree especially as not only are they going cashless but they are refusing to let people bank cheques, including bank cheques from other branches. This means that their customers are unable to accept cheques as payment (or gifts) so in effect, Macquarie Bank is also forcing it's...

Me neither.

I am so sorry to hear this, Gaena. I am at a loss for words.

I'm in NSW and just had $125.00 Aus Govt Bill Relief on my latest electricity bill. I don't understand why it's a different amount in every state though. Aren't we supposed to be one country?

We can but hope!!

I have never used a pressure cooking for that self same reason. They are way too dangerous.

Not only in Victoria. It seems to be the norm Australia wide. The police catch them and the courts let them go. There is no justice for law abiding citizens anymore. I am glad that policewoman killed that guy in Bondi as he probably would have wound up in a psychiatric hospital for a few...

That poor woman. To fight cancer for two years and be on the mend finally, only to have this happen. It's disgraceful and those responsible need the harshest of punishment.

Too cold to go swimming now, at least it is for me but for those who still do, they need to be mindful of their surrounds.

Actually, they don't given how much the banks charge them for every single transaction that goes through the machine.

I am confused by this article as Aldi have always charged a surcharge for paying by credit card. The fee may have gone up, and this is what the article is referencing, but the fee has always been there.

I got one of those on my phone the other day. I live in rural nsw and we don't even have any toll roads.

Trouble is, Labor didn't cause this problem. If the Libs/Nat party get back in with their intolerance and disrespect for the elderly/less fortunate, nothing will change and will probably get worse.

You are so right there. Dutton is a millionaire (investment properties, shopping centre) so he will never reverse negative gearing or anything else which would make housing more affordable and/or cause rents to come down.

You are lucky to have family that can help you in this situation. Not everyone has that. Having said this though, I do sincerely hope that things get better for you. Unfortunately, while our politicians are allowed to have investment properties, the rental crisis will never end as heaven...

This is why I don't have private health cover now. I had it when my children were living at home then stopped when I had health cover at work. Way too expensive now that I am retired.

I always use service checkouts too but not because I don't want to do their job for them. It's because I hope by doing so I am keeping someone in a job.

It's a nuisance yes, but necessary given the amount of shoplifting that occurs. It never worries me and I always have my receipt in hand.

This is all about profit and shareholder dividends. The powers that be could care less about their customers. Commonwealth Bank has been closing branches hand over fist in rural areas for years. This is just the next step. I hope BankWest customers take their business elsewhere. I also feel...

I gave up too and ended up physically going into the Centrelink office. Not an easy feat when you are on 24/7 oxygen.
