The legacy of people taken into state care who suffered neglect and abuse is a stain on our country’s history. Over the next three years, the Royal Commission will listen to stories about the experiences of people in state care and examine ways to stop any further abuse.

Before that process can begin, the Terms of Reference to define the scope and purpose of the Inquiry need to be set. Sir Anand would like to hear your views on the draft Terms of Reference so we can work together to make sure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past.

Please find updated details on SeniorNet Classes, Workshops and other activities below. Remember. it's only $20.00 to join for the year and Classes and Workshops are priced to suit those of us on limited budgets.

All Things Android Group: Scheduled for this Saturday 14 April 2pm. This last session for Term 1 is postponed until next term. We will assess which day might be preferable in Term 2 as it appears Saturday is not popular for Android phone and tablet members.

Genealogy Workshops: Held on the 1st Thursday of every month from 10am. Cost $3 at the door. This very popular interactive workshop is gaining great momentum for members looking to enhance their knowledge of family history. This informal group shares ideas, hints and great tips. Gillian and her helpers are anxious to maintain that momentum and continue through the school holidays on the same day and time each month. Next Workshop is May the 3rd.

One to One Sessions: Wednesdays 10 am to 1pm. These very popular sessions will finish for Term 1 after next Wednesday 18th March. They will recommence next term on Wednesday 9th May. Look out for our next newsletter coming to your in box within the next two weeks with further detail. Call our Learning Centre on 877 2157 and leave a message in need. All voice messages are relayed immediately to a Committee Member.

Term 2: Starts Monday and Tuesday with our Drop In and Bring a Friend mornings on Monday and Tuesday 7th and 8th May from 10am to 12pm. Check out term 2 offerings of courses, workshops, special interest groups, Members Social Days, register early, chat to our Volunteer Tutors, their Helpers and Committee Members and share any ideas you have to enhance your learning experience at SeniorNet H.B.

Enjoy the School holidays starting next week. Hopefully many will catch up with family and friends and we look forward to working with you next term.

Pretty Penny Loan Advertisement on Neighbourly

Joe from Bridge Pa - Longlands

There has been a sponsored post on Neighbourly recently advertising a company called Pretty Penny Loans. According to their website, they specialize in short term loans up to $500, and charge 1% per day. In addition to this 365% annual interest rate, they charge a $64 loan origination fee as well… View moreThere has been a sponsored post on Neighbourly recently advertising a company called Pretty Penny Loans. According to their website, they specialize in short term loans up to $500, and charge 1% per day. In addition to this 365% annual interest rate, they charge a $64 loan origination fee as well as a $24 account set up fee. So if you borrowed $100 for a single day, your would owe them $189.

This is predatory behavior, similar to mafia loan sharking. I am saddened that a website that is supposed to promote positive neighbourhoods would stoop to advertising a company that hurts the most vulnerable people.

If Neighbourly continues to be unneighbourly by continuing to promote shady businesses such as this one, I will deactivate my account and strongly recommend to all of my friends to follow suit.

Accepting advertising from companies such as Pretty Penny is against the primary values put forward by Neighbourly (promote strong and vibrant neighbourhoods).

Best regards,
Joe
