    Woolworths' new self-checkout rule triggers customer uproar—here's why!

    I loathe self check outs and refuse to use them . Ever since they were introduced it’s simply meant to give the giant food chains more $ and reduce employment. Don’t care if I only have 2 items in my basket, I still queue in the service lanes!!!

    Important pension changes you need to know about starting July 1

    This is so unbalanced. As a single pensioner I pay the same amount of rates, insurances, etc etc as a couple yet each person within a couple relationship earns $50-$80 more than a single pensioner! We need a significant rise in the age pension. We worked for this all our Lives!!!
