Show me the money
So, I went to my local cash machine to take some money out and found my bank specific automatic teller had been replaced by a generic one. Only when the transaction was nearly complete I was informed it would cost me nearly three dollars!!! The business that the machine was attached to informed me that there was a planned roll out of this to many of the non bank machines. Tough on crime rhetoric? Try tough on banks. The recent news of paywave rorting coupled with ever diminishing active branches speaks volumes about the coldness of the bottom line.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
