This is a VERY transparent attempt by the Australian banks and their lackey, Mr Chalmer

EXACTLY that. This is not about what is in the best interests of the consumer but what is in the best interest of the banks. Period. It stinks!

Jim Chalmers doing secret deals with the big Australian banks no doubt. This stinks of yet more Government control of this nanny State.

Australian Government needs to concentrate on issues that matter not adding yet more legislation that stifles competition - again. Shine on.  This Government has no interest in protecting the consumer, its more interested in feeding the unions and helping the banks.

Surely the consumer should be allowed to decide not the EU. I don't want this opened up to anyone. I am happy locked behind Apple's gates. Shine on. EU Policing. Someone is doing deals in the backrooms to make this sort of rubbish a policy.

Can I just say, I want the choice for Apple to be my gate keeper be that iMessage or App Store or otherwise. Me, as the consumer, should have that choice. I don't need the EU to tell me otherwise. Choice, it should be decision.

The luxury employees have these days is choice. Choice to work where you want work and for who, or you have the choice to find another job. There is no law stopping you from leaving. You may love your work and the job but feel under valued or underpaid or both, and that is a true shame but you may find that balance elsewhere.

What I have learned as an employer, is that pay rises are quickly spent and the satisfaction is short lived. The dissatisfaction quickly returns and those passing around the toxicity soon start to bring it back again. A job is more than just pay but pay of course is important but it is not the overriding factor.
