@shannon_wells But, Sharon, how will you receive 2 day old recycled “breaking” stories now?

@AskPayPal it seems you’ve just about made it impossible to talk to you about being locked out of my account. How do I find a person?

Two announcements this week (opening up of blood donors and international contractor bidding to build Tasmanian stadium) have proven two things;
There are still lots of racist bigots getting about.

@AdamShurey @CalibreFn @minnamyself @AlboMP @AustralianLabor Not sure why you’d want to promulgate this, Adam - but that is simply not the case. Banks can - and will - continue to charge fees. The changes from the RBA is that businesses will no longer be able to separately surcharge. They will have to include it in pricing - so all go up.
English
@CalibreFn @agregson4 @minnamyself @AlboMP @AustralianLabor That’s not what is happening at all. Andrew is wrong. The legislation stops the banks from charging a surcharge in the first place. There’s now no fee for the seller to have to try and recover. It’s particularly good for small businesses.
English
@polley_helen “Will no longer pay.”
Why? Did you ban the surcharges - or simply shift them on to small businesses owners who will have to recoup by raising prices across the board
Sounds like you’ve done the banks work for them.
English
@CalibreFn @minnamyself @AlboMP @AustralianLabor Because, with respect, the merchant was recovering a fee (from the card user) charged by the bank. With this change, the merchant will have to pay the fee without being able to recover it from the user.
English
@minnamyself @AlboMP @AustralianLabor merchants aren’t typically the ones profiteering off these surcharges, so why would they care if they were removed or not

If Australia held 30 days of fuel supply, then every single litre sold in the last month was bought by the supplier at pre-Iran price. Yet it’s a cut in government revenue that we’re all fussed about, not the super profits of the oil companies?
English
@senbmckenzie With excise being a fixed component, there’s been no “extra” from a price rise (other than GST). What are your referring to as “extra”?
English
It has taken Labor 3 days to accept the Liberal/National Coalition's call to halve the fuel excise and the heavy vehicle road user charge. In that time, the Government has collected an extra $50 Million in fuel tax revenue.

@AdamCleave Staying out of the politics, but entirely here for “wankpuffin”!

Don’t think I’ve ever encountered such a pathetic, lying weasel of a man in any walk of life as this wankpuffin.
Not a political statement. Just a fact.

The antisemitic arson attack in Golders Green is horrifying. I’ve been in touch with Jewish community leaders this morning and will continue to do so throughout the day. An attack on our Jewish community is an attack on us all. We will fight the poison that is antisemitism.

Searoad, the primary freight provider to/from Tasmania, just announced a fuel surcharge of 37.94%.
Sometimes it’s nice to at the other end of the world, but Tasmanian business is going to need your support, Australia. Perhaps swap imported products for Tasmanian made for a bit?

From this site, it seems the only new AI startups are businesses telling you how to get rich from AI.
Their advice: automate an AI marketing company that sells AI marketing about AI marketing.

@IanHanke With the standard disclaimers on one of these “reports”, they’re virtually useless in any event.

Silly policy that will not reduce costs simply hide it.
The cost of the building report will simoly be built into the cost of the house.

If you're selling a home, you should have to provide a building inspection report - instead of every interested buyer paying for their own. We're changing the rules to require exactly that.

Tassie Devils played their first game today. A practice match, but still pretty weird that the team didn’t seem to have anybody in their comms team working to provide updates to the potential fans. Hope they know they’re going to have to work on the weekend…

As much as I appreciate the debut of ski mountaineering at the Olympics, I feel like adding a 30-second fistfight at the top of the mountain would make it even better

Trying to get answers from @qantas on baggage allowance when they flick you to Jetstar is already hard enough. When the customer “service” centre is offshore (Fiji) and the staff are simply rude, how does “spirit of Australia” even get past the ACCC any more?

Pleased at the impact weather will have on cricket. This is what it must feel like to be English.

@IanHanke Indeed. A story that hardly warrants a mention tortured for four days. Better headline would have been “people did normal - if slightly crass - thing.”
