@checkouttv still remember that story

[Dawnstar Australis @dawnstarau]

This was the sort of treachery that @checkouttv was so very, very excellent at explaining to the average consumer and good gods we desperately need it back again

The most disturbing news I’ve learnt regarding the #coronavirus is that Baz Luhrmann is making ANOTHER movie?!!

Here’s a question for #WorldConsumerRightsDay2020: bring back #thecheckout ?

Apparently these changes to the Telstra Disaster Assistance Package are not on the Telstra website yet. We’d call this a *Checkout Exclusive* if the word “exclusive” hadn't become so utterly meaningless in the media these days ...

Here’s a handy list from @choiceaustralia - 40 pseudonyms for *Added Sugar*.

Anyone for Added Sugar bingo?

First one to spot “Turbinado” or “Rapadura” in their pantry wins … some sugar.

Wishing everyone a Sweeeeeet 2020!

Rewatching @checkouttv and I could definitely watch an hour long ACCCCCCC with @zoenl and @bencjenkins #bringbackthecheckout

@checkouttv The exact same situation with my fitbit and Officeworks. LOVED whipping out the ACCC app on my phone and pinpointing my rights. Thank you @checkouttv

Miss you.
