Just turn your export off until they come to heel. Simple. Time to create a union for pv exporters. Also, wait for an election. Let the…

Is it just the premises they are entering? Maybe not taking anything, just making a deposit.

Using points on things you wouldn't otherwise purchase, to get a perceived better value is not smart. Just because the airline tells you a…

Sure, but people's time is valued differently. An unemployed or retired person might well be willing to spend their time.

Be aware that Nord no longer works in China and hasn't for months now. Techies seem not to have a solution, where other VPN providers do.…

How about paying with an HSBC Everyday Global and splitting into payments of < $100 to get a further 2% off (rebate)? Does that work? If…

I was with you all the way up to 6774 Kris miles is $200 - excluding overvalued upgrades, how? I make it around $67.

Didn't your state budget also just announce power rebates. It's punishment, just like Poor Ass says :)

If it is your first visit, you'll probably only get a 30 day single entry visa, which I don't believe can be extended easily. Many larger…

Definitely consider Xi'an. Apart from the warriors, the city is quite ancient, and you can see the original walls (5000 years old from…

I find trip.com to be really good, and they send updates about your flight (etd changes, gate number/change, boarding commencement). Can't…

I often go to China and have NEVER experienced racism there - unless you count being treated as an honoured visitor as "positive" racism.…

Eh? The banks are stretched thin? Where did you read that? Here's something worthwhile to read - look at any bank's profit and loss…

You certainly can if your account is in credit.

Wasn't quite my point (insurance dwarfing other rising living expenses), but I take yours. Can't imagine anything lucky about owning one of…

Nice! But for only a few dollars more, I'm buying a 3 bedroom house. But if in Sydney, you could get one of these lovely vehicles with your…

5 years is a reasonable period over which any volatility in the share market (which is basically VAS/VGS) should be smoothed out. Over that…

HSBC global rewards

Let's be fair. DCOA isn't getting worse - it's driver behaviour that is getting worse. But yeah, wholeheartedly agree. Tolerance is needed…

Also getting down votes though.

Hmm. $5 sales commission looks an awful lot like a replacement for shipping costs. Sure, it's not much, but I generally don't pay ANY sales…

Eh? 2009 model surely?

So.... It's gonna crash?

Macca's is offering may deals this week a small McChicken meal and double cheeseburger for under $8. Just had 2 deluxe burgers for $16.50…

18yo is about the limit.

What parts of Asia are you referring to? I rarely see bidets or similar anywhere in Asia. Japan yes, but nowhere else. Lucky to get a bowl…

My club Jetstar renewal was $55, and comes with a $50 hotel voucher. Bit hard to say no really.

Anyone remember Compass? Or Compass Mk II? Australia does not have the market to support an additional airline. We SHOULD be trying to get…
