    Shocking Hack Story: Aged Care Worker Loses $40K - Here's how you can protect your money

    I Have found that lately I seem to be attracting the scammers who profess undying love for you. The first one went along fine until he tried to make me feel guilty because I refused to send his son an iPhone gift card. He was supposedly in the Ukraine as a surgeon and for security reasons the...

    Centrelink's outrageous wait times exposed as Senators grill bosses

    I can tell you what the problem is with Centrelink. Over the years they (senior management) have been directed by the know-it-all senior senior public servants, that they are over-staffed and have to shed staff. What happened time and time again was that redundancy packages were offered and...

    Struggling Aussies are left waiting by Centrelink amid the cost-of-living surge

    I worked for them for 12 years and will be going to my local member within the next few weeks. I can only applaud the gentleman who wrote this piece. Everyone else needs to supply 3 months' worth of statements etc. I have been told I have to provide 6 months' worth. Plus, a lot of other issues...

    Struggling Aussies are left waiting by Centrelink amid the cost-of-living surge

    They had it right when they split the whole system into 3. First stream - Retirements, Carers and Disabilities, Second stream - Families - and the third stream - unemployment. It meant staff working in those departments had a chance to learn their jobs properly and all matters were handled far...

    Discover ALDI’s new service that will revolutionise your shopping experience

    I have to agree, I would want to know the delivery cost. Woolies charges about $17.00 per delivery which is huge to me, but you can take the option of paying $13.50 per month for unlimited deliveries, providing the min. shop is $75.00, and at today's prices, you sneeze, and you have spent over...

    Is Australia cutting back on aged pensions despite a surge in retirees?

    I have 2 part pensions, one the Aged Pension and the other from my Super. Because of this I have to pay just over $400.00 a month for an Aged Care Package. I have used most of my savings and have applied for financial hardship but have just gotten their reply. I will be handing my package back...

    Daily Newsletter 24.08.2023

    It's me again. Yet another scam to report. I don't know why I seem to get so many, but this one really frightened me! I was on my computer when all of a sudden a pop-up appeared and my computer was frozen. The pop-up stated it was from Microsoft support and that my IP address had been used for...

    Scam alerts: Australians urged to stay cautious as ATO notes surge in phishing and impersonation cases

    Well done you!!! There is nothing lower than someone who knowingly preys on lonely and vulnerable people (I don't know if that is you, but it definitely was me). I let it go on a little too long. The only cost was to my emotions.... what is the old saying? "if something looks too good to be...

    Scam alerts: Australians urged to stay cautious as ATO notes surge in phishing and impersonation cases

    I get between five and fifteen emails a day that are bogus!! Because my hobby is so reliant on the internet, my email address is posted in so many places.... but the latest was the worst. I only use Facebook because of my hobby (journaling) because some of the sites I am subscribed to have...

    Wise words

    Very wise words and sentiments, one I would wholeheartedly live by if I just knew how. Sometimes the past seems to be sewn into your skin and you drag that load wherever you go. All the very best to those who are able to live by this personal rule. I just wish I could...

    Woolworths' BIG change: They’re doing what with their shopping trolleys?!

    Has nobody seen the bags that ALDI has had for years. I think there is four in a set, different shades of blue, attached and detachable for ease of packing into the car and home and they cost me $10.00 at the ALDI store in Gippsland! Way to go Woolies, copying much????

    Targeting Seniors and the Disabled

    I am on that list too and I am driven mad by telemarketers whose companies buy lists of phone numbers and do not even know where to look for the do not call register. And anyway, why should politicians, charities and research organisations be allowed to bother people. We pay for phones as a...
