25.01.2022 Popped up five mins in to the Peta Credlin documentary "Deadly Decisions" on Sky News Australia last night. I learned a few things watching it. You can view it in full here: skynews.com.au/details/_6206163602001
25.01.2022 I suspect that for many people, the coming months will get even harder. Some may ask 'How are we going to pay the home loan?' If you decide to search the web for second mortgage providers, be careful. Not only are the interest rates high, there are scammers pretending to be brokers, promising miracle solutions too good to be true (as I reveal here). Please share as you see fit. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au//00baab37ba37cdf0c27a05f
22.01.2022 Thanks to PwC Australia chief economist Jeremy Thorpe for all the hard work and expertise that’s allowed us to reveal how the #Budget2020 actually affects households. Via Dailytelegraph.com.au
21.01.2022 A Daily Telegraph investigation finds Australian shareholders have lost hundreds of millions of dollars to Chinese companies punted from the stock market. SEE THE LIST OF ASX FAILURES: http://bitly.ws/9FaZ
20.01.2022 I’ve taken a look at CFDs. A growing number of ordinary people are losing extraordinary amounts of money on this form of speculation. Big rise in complaints. I’m keen to hear first-hand experiences. And please share as you see fit.
20.01.2022 Finally an outcome from the (very) long Fair Trading investigation. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au//18defa2bd3d2ae9f1990505 Please share as you see fit.
19.01.2022 Full list of 125 creditors here. Plus the story reveals a one-off deal for the tens of thousands of members of The Wine Society.
18.01.2022 There’s a story here. But I don’t know what it is. It’s a real mystery. That’s how one former insider characterises the saga of Dongfang Modern Agriculture.
15.01.2022 Big figure, but that's what Property Club founder Kevin Young told me. Surely its mantra, "we alone protect buyers", will be an issue here. Via Daily Telegraph. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au//6ce29980082e94527fdbbc7
11.01.2022 Eight years before mechanic Goce Velovski died because of a faulty Takata airbag, another person in Australia was killed by exactly the same type of airbag. But nothing was done. There wasn't even a voluntary recall in place on Takata NADI airbags at the time of Mr Velovski's death. I don't this this is good enough. What do you think?
09.01.2022 #Exclusive: The Federal Court has found national motor dealership Rent 2 Own Cars slugged customers up to twice the legally allowable interest rate on loans. The judge was particularly scathing of this man, who designed the calculator that led to the massive overcharging. Via Daily Telegraph.
09.01.2022 Shopped at Decathlon Australia? Then you should read this new story I’ve done for the Daily Telegraph.
05.01.2022 Businessman Adon Tse appeared to have an enviable life. But the truth is, he has hefty debts to lenders who are tired of waiting for their money.
05.01.2022 When I first raised this with the think tank that commissioned it I was told there was no such poll. Then I played the audio of the robocall.
02.01.2022 People such as this woman thought they were doing a smart thing and lessening their burden on the taxpayer in retirement when they bought into Great Southern agribusiness schemes on supposedly expert financial advice. But it proved a disaster. Now a class action against the lender seeks to recoup as much as $300 million for up to 5500 investors.
01.01.2022 Worth keeping this warning in mind. Your posts have the potential to create danger on multiple fronts.
