    Shoppers spot sneaky change at Coles prior to upcoming price gouging inquiry

    It is illogical that a whole column of product carries markdown tickets. It is evident the margin is hyper on the production price. Trick with grocery is the number of times the item is picked up and put down between manufacture or harvest, then "selected" by the end buyer (consumer) !! Like...

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

    Foreign owned and directed companies have always "managed' Australia as a Cash Cow economy. For example, when the Pensions are incresaed the Energy compnay boards sit up and stake out a price increase across the population. Just one example. Energy should be locally owned and priced.

    Our greengrocer came around with a horse drawn wagon with tarpaulin roof and an icebox at the rear end which was our big moment while Mum did not spend more than one pound for the week's vegatbles. It was 1944 and the war was ending so the soldiers were thinning out. But the river did flood...

    Millions of Aussies to get more cost-of-living relief

    The capitalists have reached a Zenith by costing the People 4% for using cash after they pay bigtime to track around to get it. Like $2.50 a litre for fuel and wide margins on food purchasing ? Meantime the road carnage is partly due to the road surfaces being poor plus winding roads are beyond...

    Unsettling revelations from whistleblower Frances Haugen: Is Artificial Intelligence becoming a dangerous threat?

    I was told 15 years ago by a young woman from USA that AI was "coming and it will be terrifying" she said. Sadly I never foloowed the development of this pernicious science.

    Two minors charged over Woolworths store blaze

    The personal upset to shop personnel at Woolworths and nearby premises affected by the monstrous blaze should be allayed by the Government paying their wages from the State Emergency Fund (Fines Collected) until business as usual resumes in the Stirling main Street.

    Will King Charles III’s rumoured 2024 visit to Australia bring the 'end of the monarchy'?

    Read "The Secrets of Emu Field" by Elizabeth Tynan and consider the dilemma with the Referendum. I think you will be of the mind to have King stay at home. It is understood The Crown is the End Owner of all land of Australia including magic places like the Abroholos and Cocos Islands, however...

    Public sentiment boils over as Woolworths denies cash-out request

    The Banks with cashless branches is the ultimate oligarch penalty. The savings to the banking giants is incredible. No security costs, no strongroom building, less expensive solid steel safes.
