Astonishing petrol station 'overcharge' that every Aussie needs to know about
Furious Aussies have been shocked to discover they have been overcharged thousands of dollars for purchases at a popular petrol station chain. Multiple visitors to Reddy Express (formerly known as Coles Express) noticed their transaction had been repeated, sometimes over more than 100 times, on Saturday. Calling into 2GB radio on Wednesday, a Sydney man named Steve said he was charged 134 times for a payment of around $106. The total of his transactions came to an eye-watering $14,204. Another man, Angelo, said his daughter had spent $6 on a drink and a chocolate at a Reddy Express and was charged for the transaction 104 times. Aussies impacted by the glitch were given a phone number to contact, which was said to lead to an automated voice message. The voice message said Reddy Express was aware of the issue, and that customers would be reimbursed within two to seven days. Angelo said that his daughter would soon be travelling overseas, and was concerned over whether she would be refunded before she left. Reddy Express has since issued an apology about the glitch, revealing it was a widespread issue across their stores over the weekend. 'On Saturday (31/5) a technical issue led to intermittent EFTPOS errors affecting some guests paying by credit or debit card at Reddy Express stores,' a statement said. 'In some cases, this has resulted in guests being charged more than once for their transaction. 'We are working to reverse any duplicate transactions as quickly as possible. 'In most cases, people should have seen the refund appear in their debit or credit card accounts by now. 'If you have not yet received a refund or have not yet contacted us, please contact us now via our customer service office contactus-retail@ or call 1800 656-055. 'Reddy Express sincerely apologises to any impacted guests.' Anyone who made a purchase at a store is urged to check their transaction history. More than 700 Coles Express servos across Australia were rebranded to Reddy after they were sold to petrol and diesel supplier Viva Energy in 2023. In 2024, a similar 'duplicate payments' glitch hit Commonwealth Bank, with furious customers demanding answers after money ' disappeared' from their accounts. Hundreds of customers reported seeing multiple payments on their accounts on Saturday morning, with some experiencing overdrawn accounts, while others were left stranded with no money to travel.

EXCLUSIVE France is on the brink of full-scale civil war. I've lived here for 25 years and the locals have had enough of the violence caused by hordes of destructive youths. The state has lost control - and I fear what's coming next: JONATHAN MILLER
As I stood in the queue at the fishmonger on the town square close to my home in the South of France yesterday, he was cutting the head off a sea bream with deft strokes of his razor-sharp knife. 'You French have always been rather good at decapitation,' I said, gesturing towards a spot outside the post office, where the town guillotine had stood in an earlier era. Nobody laughed. 'They should bring the guillotine back,' said the fishmonger. 'We need it more than ever.' He wasn't joking and other customers nodded vigorously.

My 6 summer high street buys
Summer on the high street used to mean bright, tight or excessively flesh-baring — or a category my mother used to refer to as 'workhouse', which encompassed linen in various shades of sad and sack-like drab florals for those who didn't want to show their arms or knees. For years I thought I just wasn't a warm-weather person because I wanted neither a floral dress nor a pair of shorts that showed my bum cheeks. These days — thanks to a proliferation of Scandi brands and ones run by women rather than rag-trade men in suits — retailers have caught up with the fact that not everybody turns into Margarita Pracatan when the temperature rises. Instead, I will spend this summer channelling a sort of Goop-inspired Copenhagen-meets-the- Hamptons vibe, where billow is fine but blowsiness is off the menu. My budget is more Nando's than Nantucket, admittedly, but I'm struck this year by how much on the high street has been carefully designed to look just like the sort of things rich people buy. There is bank-balance logic in doing summer in this quite minimal way rather than splashing your cash on a hot-pink embroidered kaftan. Most of us now expect our wardrobes to work hard for us — which means the much-vaunted 'holiday capsule' must also contain multitasking items with a bit more fashion longevity. I only buy things I can also wear when I am back home again too. Does this make me a killjoy for not needing several outfit changes so I am photoshoot-ready on my hols? Maybe, but it makes packing easier too. • Read more fashion advice and style inspiration from our experts Here are my high street picks for summer, whether you're at home or somewhere hot. First up, Sezane's Maxine dress (£140, which doesn't look at all like (sorry, awful word) 'destinationwear' but instead is a classic striped shirt in a longer length. That means it works as a bikini cover-up, minidress, lightweight layer and will knot into a top, and I will still feel like myself on the beach, which can — for us pale types — be a nerve-racking sort of place to unveil ourselves. Next, a bag I noticed while surrounded by chic and savvy-shopping influencers on a recent press trip. Each of them had Cos's oversized woven raffia tote bag (£135, which not only looks far more expensive than it is but will multitask as a laptop transporter, weekend luggage and beach bag, depending on your requirements. There's an inside pocket so you won't lose your keys, either. I buy summer clothes according to a fairly strict template of things that have previously proved successful. Exhibit A: the black denim boardshorts I found on Vinted last summer, which have become such a summer staple that I've been scouting for a good true blue version for a while. Gap's are the perfect vintage hue (£35, and I also like Mango's paler, high-waist take (£29.99, I'll wear them with a boxy white T-shirt or black waistcoat, or a tank top layered under an open shirt. They're also perfect with a sweatshirt when the sun goes down (or indeed, if it fails to ever come out again). For a bit of razzmatazz — within reason, of course — I'll add in & Other Stories' strappy block-heeled sandals (£97, & Other Stories, whose 2.5in 'walkable'' height makes them ideal for work, weekend and wine bars in foreign cities. They'll add a touch of retro Nineties minimalism to everyday jeans, skirts or shorts and work as a modern, unfussy choice for weddings or garden parties too. I'm very keen on Seventies style aviators at the moment — such a fashion crowd favourite right now that I'm calling them Creative Director specs for the number of top designers who wear them. Theirs probably aren't from Massimo Dutti, but these ones are (£69.95, and they're definitely easier to pull off as shades than an everyday frame. They'll give every outfit an injection of Nordic architect cool — even when you're wearing them to read Jilly Cooper by the hotel pool. For a bit of levity to an otherwise fairly streamlined list, I'm adding Zara's jolly fruit enamel earrings to my basket too (£17.99, My gut is telling me apple and banana for daytime, chilli pepper and aubergine for evening.
