Time to revisit the past with the establishment of a Federal Government Bank across Australia. IOW, Com Bank re-established. You know, a bank that looks after ALL Australians, not just service areas where they make the biggest profits. Wonder if Labor have the courage to tackle the job since...

I`ve found some of the top anti-malware programs pull the same trick. They tell you that you will get the option to renew, but never notify you. They deduct another year`s premium without notice and you have to claw back your subscription. Which can take a while.

Couple of points I forgot. Don`t fall for the limited time for the quote to be accepted or you lose out. Honest tradies will keep prices for a while so there is no panic to accept the quote. Also the discount for cash might sound good, but the tradie shows his character by not declaring the...

These scams were on the go twenty years ago when I was in the roof repair trade. I never advertised but relied on friends of the owner giving referrals. Even so, I always insisted that the homeowner (usually a widow) get at least three quotes to see if I was ripping her off. Don`t ask tradies...

I wonder if, when AI gets into full stride, whether any account will be safe? One thing I do know, cash might be stolen but------------IT CAN!T BE HACKED.

And, of course, none of the perpetrators of the Robodebt rip-off have ever been brought to account. Corruption at the top and looks like it is encouraged down the staff.

Contacted Medicare on MyGov to open an account after years of good health. Quoted my bank details from a bank invoice. Medicare said it was incorrect. Where do I go from here?

If the self-serve computer software can remember all the items in a supermarket, surely CEOs and managers can be replaced by same. No need to pay top dollar salaries or bonuses. Think I might have hit upon a way for companies to reduce costs. :)

Haven`t bought a Scratchie for a while, but they used to state on the card that ALL prizes may have been won. So, why did they continue to sell cards if there weren`t any prizes left?

My chief annoyance was having Woolies shift all the items on sale to new locations. Eggs wandered around till they found a new home. Regular stock shifted to the other side of the aisle, and a different shelf. A wide range of unknown brands hogged eye-level shelves and regular stuff was...

I extended the life of most of my fruit and vegies by drying them, wrapping in paper towels before popping them back in the fridge. Change to new towels every couple of days. Works on lettuce, tomatoes, celery, strawberries, carrots, grapes and possibly otheries. If lettuce comes out of bag/bowl...
