Consumer Action in Aus?
I was wondering if any of you folks in Aus can help me.
I'm a massive fan of sites like this in the UK consumeractiongroup
moneysavingexpert
for consumer right info on debt, law, benefits etc.
And direct.gov.uk for plain english, one stop shop for government information on life events, rights, laws etc
Are there any similar sites in Aus? We'll prob be going initally to NSW though also thinking about ACT later.

Re: Consumer Action in Aus?
If you asked most Aussies they would probably point you towards TodayTonight or A Current Affair. But I doubt they would be interested in you as you are neither:
a) Australian
b) A Battler
c) Terminally Ill
d) A Bogan
e) All of the above
Otherwise most educated people would go to the ACCC or Choice

Re: Consumer Action in Aus?
Is there a UK equivalent of the "Aussie Battler" ?
