    CBA 'platinum' debit mastercard

    Found this info. A lot of fine print. But the card is shiny. https://www.commbank.com.au/content/dam/commbank/personal/apply-online/download-printed-forms/CBA3371-011113-Platinum%20Debit-Complimentary-Insurances.pdf

    CBA 'platinum' debit mastercard

    Contacted CBA about my platinum debit card offer. I've never received such vague answers relating to their own product. Helpful, but vague. None of it made much sense to me, but I can rest easy now that if I'm too lazy to book a restaurant, I can call them to do it for me. I couldn't get any...

    Meeting Aboriginal people

    I agree. Aurukun will open your eyes. KingChevy, I'm temporarily in Weipa. Getting into the barra? Perhaps I can send a photo down of the undersized fish kept, and the litter left by the traditional owners. It's not that romantic, but this is 2015.

    Federal Leadership challenge called

    A politician's job is to get re elected. Abbott is in their way of being re elected. They'll get rid of him for their own benefit. It reminds me of watching 'survivor' on TV.

    Studying Spanish in Guatemala

    Geoffw, you would have been like Frank Costanza at the nail shop. Were they saying good things?

    Bali Nine

    I have pretty much the same thoughts. But to commit a crime like this in another country is a death wish.

    How do you combine finances with your significant other?

    What's mine is hers, but I spend more on fishing gear. I used to tell her about every little hobby purchase before I bought it, but now I tell her afterwards.

    Child killed in Police Pursuit - do we stop pursuits - or increase penalties?

    As previously posted thatbum. Once again, a few cowboys in every occupation ruin it for the rest.

    Child killed in Police Pursuit - do we stop pursuits - or increase penalties?

    At times, an outside perspective can be valued. Clearly a $300 fine does not satisfy a balanced community's expectations.

    Child killed in Police Pursuit - do we stop pursuits - or increase penalties?

    I'm making up a few stats here but here goes. Until a few years, in QLD, the average fine by a magistrate was about $300 for failing to stop for a Police vehicle trying to stop you (evading Police). In comparison, the ticketable fine for advertising a vehicle for sale without a safety...

    Teenagers, Piercing and Tattoos

    I find tattoos pretty boring ever since they started giving them out with each new driver licence. It's only the neck tattoos that make me question the decision making of the recipient. There are consequences for our decisions. My mate had a tattoo gun. We still laugh at his VB tattoo and...

    Legal action against Coles, need advice

    The one who is running away is normally the guilty one. It is no wonder that the customer running away caused a heightened level of concern. However, I don't know the full story. Nor am I saying that she did anything wrong. However, if you were a mate discussing it with me, I would be saying...

    Cairns stabbing

    Any which way it turns out, in her head, it was the worst day of her life. This tragedy will take its toll on emergency services personnel as well. I wish them a speedy recovery. I couldn't imagine being a doctor or nurse having to provide medical aid to the killer after she did this to the...

    Cairns stabbing

    The term, a female is 'assisting Police with their inquiries' normally means one thing. It is often a transitional term. Poor children. It will be a sad story. And yes, Murray Street is not the place to live. It puts the 'M' in the Cairns 'M' suburbs.

    Random Act of Kindness

    Bring some coffees into the night work staff at the local hospital. As deserving as any.

    Cairns market maybe slightly improving is some areas?

    I agree Kesse. I had also been wondering whether Fung was playing games. Just like on Django where he pretends to be negotiating a big price on a Mandingo fighter, when he really wanted the maid.

    Our Night Of Terror

    I'd rather be at trial than dead. Saying that, I don't support firearms in our communities.

    Our Night Of Terror

    Mate, you got to do what you got to do. Sounds like you handled yourself pretty well. Some do-gooders can be naive to world. Sounds like you've got a good grasp and the family is lucky to have you.

    Infringement Notice - should it be reissued if owner was not driving?

    Wylie, $113 for a parking ticket in QLD doesn't sound right. Some are more. Some are less. Might be a little more to that one. The fine doesn't seem to match the crime. Call your insurer for answers and then reallocate.

    Cairns is heating up fast

    I'm with Jen Jen. It's just the vibe. No research from me. Lots more sold signs on the way to work. They're not lasting long. Few mates and neighbours selling quickly or above intended sale price. This wasn't happening 2 years ago.
