    Keep your homes poison-free: Experts urge Aussie government to ban 'toxic' home product

    He caught a $14,204 overcharge—this one habit could save you from the same mess

    I have no doubt that we will be cashless sooner than later. The penalty for such theft from peoples accounts should be sufficiently high enough to deter companies from such system failures ensuring checks and balances are in place on all transactions.

    Keep your accounts safe! Content creator unravels scam targeting social media users

    Nah not jealous … just can’t stand the inane conversation to the extent I rarely watch that channel. Your idea of entertainment is different to mine as is your sense of humour(probably). Life’s choices and scars make us all different. I’ve just got no time for him.

    Is this phone etiquette disappearing over the years? Here's what Aussies think!

    2 sec rule: the person has an Indian accent… gone, doesn’t introduce themself…gone, recorded message… gone Also: ‘no caller id’ and the silent calls.

    ‘It’s not cause for alarm’: Financial expert leaves advice ahead of superannuation changes

    Can’t say the Labor Govt hasn’t got foresight… as wages go up $3M in a couple of generations time will be the norm. So better they introduce it at a time when less people are affected = less whingers.

    ‘We’ve been blown away’: The supermarket moment that had Aussies lining up

    I agree it’s time to put up names of towns in other languages for non- English speaking ‘Australians’… where is Outer Pradesh? Or is it Upper Pradesh? Which dialect are you using?
