You’re in the perfect relationship, you love each other, you get along, you share interests, there is trust and you never fight… well almost never, when it comes to money there is often rather large and ‘intense’ discussions. Don't be ashamed most couples will have argued about love at one point in time, everyone has.
The Westpac Women’s Markets Women & Money Survey confirmed that couples normally quarrel over money. 47% of Australia’s women have experienced a disagreement with their partner over money matters.
A recent survey stated that “92% of Australian women believe that they do not enjoy equal rights.” The survey was conducted “by leading cosmetic company the Heat Group and UNIFEM Australia, the United Nations Development Fund for women”.
Women still feel the need to conform to traditional female roles at home which makes it harder to balance a work and home life. The study showed that close to half of the women surveyed believed domestic commitments and the lack of support in the household meant they couldn’t work longer hours in the office which ultimately lead to a female barrier in being promoted in the professional world.

Every year Australians state that they will never smoke again, especially as a New Year resolution, unfortunately most continue to smoke throughout the year.
Mark Stephens suggests that one of the main reasons many people continue to smoke is due to lack of preparation; which is why he has decided to run a free stop smoking seminar for those who seriously want to quit their smoking habit. Mark is on the look out for 100 smokers who wish to kick their smoking habit live on television!

Recently Jennifer Hawkins, model and Miss Universe 2004, posed nude and un-airbrushed for the cover and a photo spread in Australian Marie Claire. This cover was meant to produce a positive body-image for all Australian women; however, it has done the opposite with many claiming that Hawkins doesn’t represent a ‘real’ woman.
Jackie Frank, editor of Australian Marie Claire, explained that a survey of 5,500 readers showed that only 12% of women were truly happy with their body. The idea of putting a naked and un-changed Jen Hawkins on the cover was to create a positive statement about body image.
