It’s usually sales calls regarding solar panels and batteries and energy companies and health insurance. Not restricted to that, but that’s where I’m pigeon holed currently.

It’s also multiple daily calls that just hang up after I pick up.

Every time I’ve asked how they got my number they say from “Australian data services”. I ask the person calling to delete my number, and they may well do, and I will block their number, but it doesn’t seem to stop the number being handed out from the source. And new calls every day after.

Googling this entity seems to be a black hole.

I have to be able to answer calls from unknown numbers, and I do not want to change my number—so the ‘don’t answer unknown callers’ won’t work for me.

Who is “Australian data services” and how can I get them to stop handing out my mobile number?

Also, has anyone else been told this is where their phone number was provided from?

TIA

These employers are allowed to make deductions from the wages of PALM workers, which means they are sometimes left with just $100-$200 per week.

PALM workers in Bundaberg, QLD, were unable to meet basic living standards, leading them to sleep rough and line up at soup kitchens.

A Westpac-Melbourne Institute survey showed on Tuesday its main index of consumer sentiment edged up 0.5% in June, following a 2.2% rise in May.

The index was 10.8% higher than a year earlier at 92.6, though being below 100, that meant pessimists still outnumbered optimists.
