    A similar situation developed in Australia. It was known as Robodebt and the so called debt was handed over to debt collectors.

Pre menopause I also had quite low blood pressure but in my 50s it began to rise. My cholesterol was also on the high side. Family...

    Visit Australia without leaving home

    :ROFLMAO: Ooh, you must be a naughty boy. You might not get past Customs and Immigration if you decided to see the sights in person. You've missed a treat, especially footage of the garbage collection system. :giggle:
