Living treasure, the Rev Bill Crews AM joins us in Nostalgia Town. The much-loved Australian, who has spent his entire adult life in the service of others, is a passionate supporter of the homeless and the needy. Have you got a financial plan? In Money Extra Rachel Waterhouse from the Australian Shareholders Association enumerates the reasons why we need a plan and what should be included.In Steppin’ Out today we head to Adelaide to speak to Vicki Couzens from Vision Australia Radio station - 5RPH.
