Article in the Australian says that there has been widespread fraud by mortgage brokers misstating income of borrowers. When those borrowers then default, judges are extinguishing the mortgages leaving the borrowers with the house. This has serious implications for the stability of the...

Treasury is currently modeling a 10 percent rise in electricity prices as a result of the carbon tax coming into effect on 1 July. The feedback I am getting from participants in the electricity industry is that the Treasury modeling is wrong and that they will be putting up their prices by...

Hi My mum says there was a power cut and ever since the hot water cylinder has been delivering hot water - but at low pressure. Im not sure the two events are related. I had a look in the dark which was not very illuminating... Are there any obvious things I should check out first?
