Bureaucracies are brainless. Sometimes you need to fake it to make it.

Hope you got it sorted.

A physical signature is an outdated policy limitation set by TfNSW and it is entirely stupid.

did you get this sorted?

I'm going through this same thing at the moment, how did you end up getting this resolved?

Yes but had to get the hand signed copy sent by mail. RMS wouldn't accept any other form.

Slimey scumbag.

He should be in jail.

He’s an absolute disgrace.

Like most current and former politicians, his nothing more than a grub.

Disgusting

Gronk.

Honestly a little underwhelming when I saw the subject.

Sounds like he was discussing how their tax dollars would be used, and, yes, he did use "pork-barilo" sarcastically.

It hurts to look🤬

Preferably a solitary cell with conditions just barely better than those of Guantánamo Bay.

Are you by chance a judge of the NSW justice system?

That money he’s talking about is allocated bush fire funds.

I judge it occasionally. Seriously, I'm from the US, and we are experts on political sarcasm.

I have never once considered the US to be an expert in sarasm, particularly compared to any other culture inside the anglosphere.

Went for a paddle and decided to add a hike

About an hour drive and an hour paddle

Lovely.

Nice!! How far from the CBD is this place?

This development is a travesty.

A flyer was sent out to all Koalas giving them the right to view the planning submission and raise any objections. The deadline expire 7 days ago and we have not had a single submission therefore planning approval has been granted.

Perhaps they should not have waited until there was only one left.

Election is on the 25th and haven’t received anything for it yet. Should I be applying again? I’m sure I registered as a general postal voter last year.

I haven’t received anything, but did get an email that they would be posted this week (ie w/c 13/3/23)

I got an email to confirm it was coming after the 13yh

If Australia Post is true to form, they'll arrive on the Friday before polling day XXXXX(fingers crossed)..

Put the liberals last!

Got mine today.

They weren't being sent out until today.

Thanks for the reminder. It completely slipped my mind this time around.

Thank you! That's good to hear, was worried I wasn't registered and missed the deadline to get postal vote lol

ok thanks. i’ll be on the lookout

Shouldn’t I be putting the fringe alt-right freaks like PHON last? Not that liberals won’t be as far down as I can put them but does putting them last significantly lower their chances of being re-elected? I’m not too fussed on labor either but they’re the “safe” bet. I’ll probably put Reason, AJP, and Socialist Alliance as my top three.

yeah i didn’t realise. always feel like it’s cutting it close since there’s only a week and a half until election.

No worries!

Oh damn you still have one nation? None of my 6 choices are lol.

Top 3 sounds good what are your other choices?

Yeah if its last it sends the strongest message

Reason isn't running in this election, sadly. Apparently the Public Education Party is composed from ex-Reason members, but it's a single-issue party.

The voter has to be post marked by a certain date(Monday after?) for it to be accepted and counted.

If you want your vote to be counted for the early figures(maybe), then you need to pre-poll. Some pre-polls are actually counted after the vote counting on election day as the figures they collect on election day are actually by the election booth workers doing a count at polling close. All others tend to be counted in the weeks after.

Yeah it says there’s a few candidates from PHON on the upper house ballot. I’m not sure how I’m gonna do the rest yet. I was going to put Legalise Cannabis 4th but I remember last election reading that they believe in “freedom to choose” to vaccinate…. during the height of COVID. One MP from WA was suspended from parliament last February because she still wasn’t vaxxed. I very much agree with all their other policies though… Doesn’t look like Fusion is running in this election otherwise they’d be my top four. There’s a AJP candidate near me so I’ll vote for them in regards to the lower house. Then I’ll probably do greens/cannabis/labour/weird fringe parties/liberal. I didn’t know that about voting parties last meant that. Or I did and forgot lol. I’ve learned quite a bit from this thread!

Damn, that sucks :( Guess I’ll have to figure it out when I get it in the mail.

That makes sense! I didn’t realise early voting is why we have pre election day numbers lol I’m dumb. Thanks for the info!

You can see the upper hosue candidates [here](https://elections.nsw.gov.au/elections/state-government-elections/2023-state-general-election/candidates/nsw), and your lower house candidates [here](https://elections.nsw.gov.au/elections/state-government-elections/2023-state-general-election/candidates)

No, they do not count votes before election day.

At the close of voting, some of the poll workers and others start counting the votes completed at that polling place. They will then phone in the #1 vote for each candidate to the electorate returning officer who will add all the voters for each candidate.

The electoral officer, will then advise each polling place, which candidate has the lowest #1 and advise them to distribute votes for that candidate based on the #2 vote on those papers.

The process basically repeats. This is usually all so fast, that they have an idea who has or is likely to win a seat. These are the early results they announce with various caveats.

Mostly, prepolls do not get counted until days after. There is also the postal votes to be finally counted.

Th sad fact is that most people tend to vote the same way each election, so with varying degrees of confidence, the pundits assume similar outcomes each time.

Thank you!!

I have a tafe assignment that involves research on community groups, preferably in the central coast region. This could be any group or topic

If you do know of a website or a way to find community groups, that would also be greatly appreciated

r/centralcoastnsw

Have you had a look at the sporting organisations? Something like Central Coast Football Association should have a lot of detail on their website, or the cricket, rugby league associations

Find out what the local shire council is called and look up their website. They often have info and links to community groups

try your public library...

I second the library suggestion. I had a uni assignment that required me to research a local group/building/organisation that didn't have a well known history. They were great in pointing me in the right direction. Erina and Tuggerah libraries are great resources (haven't used Gosford so I can't give an opinion there).

Don’t forget your local volunteer rural fire fighters and SES teams

There’s tons of landcare groups around who are volunteers that look after small or large bushland and vegetation sites.

CWA is huge, a branch in every town and village. and they are nice, willing to talk, lots of history.

Someone's probably accidentally written your phone number on a package.

Had this a year ago, told by post the other person must have accidentally put down wrong number. Five different parcels later I was emailing the sixth company and saying wrong address, wrong number, wrong person. Stopped after that.

Yes, when people think my email is their email... it ends up in my app.

[deleted]

This is most likely the reason. I worked at AusPost about three years ago as a counterperson, so this might have changed since then. Often people would lodge 20 or more handwritten addresses and we'd have to manually enter the phone numbers for tracking.

When it's busy, it's easy to imagine a mistake happening.

Thanks, makes sense I guess.

He's talking about the AusPost app.

This happened on my parent's mountain, they have some bushland next to a national park.

South Coast located

Clearings that were once 100+ year old trees popping up out of nno where, they leave chainsaw chains, batteries, oil and even broken machinery.

The clearing also has another eco disaster, the top soil looks like orange flour now, so the dust kicked up by the logging trucks coats and kills everything they didn't cut down. It just coats everything in the dirty choking layer of dust.

My folks refuse to touch a tree on their property unless it's gonna fall on the house, even then they really REALLY don't like taking them down. So their property of only 5 ACRES hold some of the largest and oldest bluegums on the mountain. Twice the size of the one Jordie was standing on.

Oh, and the cherry on top, Property developers keep trying to move in and buy land, pressuring residents to subdivide the land.

A family moved across the road from my parents a few years ago, new and naive and they agreed to the subdivision. That land used to be a breeding ground for bearded dragons, now it's nothing but stumps and grey gravel, the creek there is choked and dead from the run off, so there's additional flash flooding too.

They cleared EVERYTHING and we haven't seen a bearded dragon since.

We would try to clean up the clearings when we found them, my dad would gather all the chains, oil and batteries, us kids would try to brush the dirt off the bushes. Dad would also go up and clean up the debris piles they left and re-use the abandoned wood for firewood (We never felled a tree for wood, only reused dead wood left by the loggers... we never ran low...)

We had hundreds of king parrots and Rosellas every year, dad would need to remind us kids not to feed them sunflower seeds every day cause their wild and have enough food, we shouldn't train them to rely on us.

every year, black cockatoos would migrate through, haven't seen them in years either

Now, dad puts seed out every day for the less than 2 dozen that still live in the area, cause the bush is so wrecked, the pained look on his face when summer hits and it's . . . quiet, is soul crushing.

This shit legit makes me cry, because it's so fucking pointless, it benefit no one

Yeah that fuckwit that shanks is talking to is a known drug addict, wife beater and has AVOs against him from multiple people. He's a vile piece of work that can't be trusted. The reason he sounds emotional is most likely because he's off his head on meth.

Is that you, Bruz?

But did he say anything about the forests that was incorrect?

This is like having a giant tumor on your face and ignoring the doctor telling you it's cancer cause you don't like his bedside manner

Sure thing champ

Didn't watch the any further than seeing mark in it. Can just about guarantee anything he said is bullshit.

Cite evidence rather than slander there, bruz.

So you're wilfully mis/uninformed and proud of it?

I know the bloke, he lives down the street from me

Mate I live and work in the bush on the mid North coast, I know what I'm talking about gfy
