A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that an estimated 1.1 million (5.8 per cent of) Australians use only their mobile phone or tablet to conduct banking activities in an average four week period. In three years, the number of Australians doing "mobile-only banking" has tripled. This means they do not use any other banking channel, such as website, branches, adviser/banker or the telephone, to deal with their bank. By June 2015, 33 per cent of Australians conducted internet banking using a mobile phone or tablet (app) in an average four week period. This has resulted in a group of people that only deal with their banks via a mobile or tablet. As assumed, younger generations take up digital channels at higher rates than older ones, with close to one out of ten people under 34 years old doing "mobile-only banking".

The Productivity Commission Workplace Relations Framework draft report released on August 4, 2015 is an important milestone for Australia and has the right ideas – however, there are also several things missing from the report that must be exposed and discussed. The biggest problem with the report is its reliance on the ‘politically convenient’ ABS unemployment figures that consistently under-state the real level of unemployment and under-employment in the Australian workforce and the inadequate data on the cash economy. There are two issues in relation to unemployment: the actual numbers in % terms and ‘000s of people; and the trends.

Market Research Update – Page: Online : 4-Aug-15

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that one-third of the Australian population aged 14+ were asked by friends and/or family for their advice on planning a holiday in the year to March 2015. The survey also shows that the more destinations a person has been to, the more likely they are to be asked for holiday planning advice by friends and family. This is evident from as few as three destinations, and becomes increasingly striking as the destination count rises. Among Australians who have visited more than 10 destinations in the last 12 months, some 65 per cent are "trusted advisers", having had their advice sought.
