>Nickel is the only winner as we start to see cheaper battery technology I'm just working on a closure plan for a Nickel Mine today, very…

As a single data point, I made a claim for a written off car (parking brake not applied properly) and it made no difference to my premiums.…

Switched from a 4 to a 5 as a DJI drone display recently and all the random flight control app bugs seemed to just go away.

Probably best to buy from sites that provide actual measurements of the shoes. I did that recently but unfortunately didn't pay attention.…

I cancelled mine when they dropped the free overseas ATM cash withdrawals. Switched to Bankwest for fee free foreign transactions and free…

But if handing it out to Real Estate agents, it may be an advantage to be able to run out of credit.

Amaysim are pretty good. $10 per year for their as you go plan. May not be great if planning to make a lot of long calls.

I did something similar. For me the NL seemed to be about a 10% benefit compared to buying outright including not paying the GST. Could be…

The price doesn't seem too bad if you only subscribe one month per year. I guess that doesn't work so well if you somehow manage to find…

I had the opposite problem, they were prioritising members financial returns over environmental benefits. Probably legally obliged to so I…

I think one of the advantages of an SMSF over a pooled fund is the tax advantage in not paying CGT as you go. I think you would miss out on…

And if you are already retired with no dependents and a healthy super balance, your needs are likely nothing.

I think I'm in a similar situation to you. Stake SMSF didn't seem to have a good cash option. I went with Grow SMSF, which are a little…

In my case $3500 fees from Aust Super vs $1,400 with grow SMSF with a similar amount. Probably not worth bothering just for the fee saving,…

Of course. Otherwise I'd be deliberately over paying my tax for the sweet tax free interest returns.

I was surprised last year, I paid my tax bill early and the ATO credited me interest for the period from then until it was due.

Are you speaking from experience with Ioniqs? From the people I know with them, they seem to get much closer to the claimed range than most…

I've done it myself for kid's passports where getting them along to the post office was too much of a pain. Actually getting the lighting…

It actually sounds pretty good to me, I go rarely enough that I should get the enticement deals all the time. In practice I actually went…

Same here, I have a similar one. Can't understand why they are so hard to find compared to huge thick ones. Built in cables are great too.

Lucky mobile seem to reliably have the discounted sims. Sometimes there is a better one on ebay, haven't seen any posted on ozbargain…

They've just added Singapore among 95 new destinations. I suspect it covers the others above too. Announced via a notification from the…

Yes, how did you guess? (Only in a VM to keep my 2007 perpetual licence of AutoCAD C3D going). I have got Android 14, just don't understand…

Whats so special about android 15? I haven't noticed any meaningful improvements since about 4 or 5.

ANyone else not get the email? It is pretty clear on the webpage https://www.bankwest.com.au/help/cards/credit-card-changes, but I didn't…

Bugger, that was the only reason I have the card. Already booked next January's flights on it, so may have now missed out on the chance to…

Don't you read the public notices in "The Australian" every day? That's where they published the notification, in accordance with the T&Cs.…

Yep, the battery went flat in my ancient one recently and they sent out a new one.
