At most a parking fine is $75 and they give you 30 days to pay, they give you plenty time to pay up.
He wasn't winging or bitching - but you are.
It shits me, my kids friends mum parked right in front of a no parking at anytime sign the other day, I wanted to say something but it was at someone else's house... it's like they think it doesn't apply to them, self entitlement gone nuts.
Nah, doesn't work like that. SPER aren't gonna roll them for it. Hell, half the time you don't even get points for interstate offences because it doesn't flow across properly after a fine is paid.
I mean I agree pay the fine, but one state body cannot cancel your rego of your car in another state.
Sorta but no. Still enforced and recouped by RevenueNSW.
The first notice is. The reminder notice is issued by Revenue NSW.
OP lives in Queensland. Doesn't necessarily make him a Queenslander.
Garnishee is the word you are looking for.
Garnish is something they put on your food to pretty it up.. like those bean sprout things.
And all we know about you is you are bad at parking and like to ignore the consequences of your actions.
Sounds like a win for Sydney too.
That's a mighty cheap parking fine.
Dunno what planet you are living on,but on a BCC yellow line is way way more than that last time when I got two over a weekend.
I suppose it depends on where you are, I’m in a more rural area so it wasn’t a huge break on my wallet. I was fined for overstaying in a 3 hour park, it was a stupid gamble on my part.
Yep could be right.I parked my work car outside my complex on a rainy Friday night and couldn’t see all of the line and fined me on Sat AM and Sunday PM.So I accept one fine but two is double dipping when car didn’t move until Monday morning.
Can anyone explain how this should work? Or why it's the way it is?
Here in Hawks Nest we've got all the same channels on digital TV as in Sydney but our TCL TV shows us two different TV guide EPGs depending on which channel you're on.
If you're on an SBS or ABC and press the TV Guide, you get Freeview which only shows those channels.
This is despite all the commercial channels being available.
So it means that to browse what's on tv in its entirety you have to manually navigate using P+/P- to get to the nearest commercial channel and then hit TV Guide again to get the basic guide which shows everything. There appears to be no way to turn off the freeview guide.
I've been convinced that it was a weird error I'd made in the setting up on the TV but I looked at the freeview website and noticed when you ask for the TV guide online and tell them you're in Newcastle, it also only shows SBS and ABC. Change the location to Sydney and it shows everything.
I just don't get it!
https://www.freeview.com.au/tv-guide
I use the website. I don't need to put in where I am.
How old is your TCL? My 7 year old LG does the same, but the new Samsung has it all displayed. And I am in Port Stephens
Reset your TV to factory settings and set it to Newcastle. Sydney channels are set to 1x (ten), 7x, and 9x. Newcastle channels are 5x (WIN / 10), 6x (Prime7), and 8x (NBN / 9). None of the regional stations use their regional name anymore, NBN still has their own News at 6pm.
Are you receiving both Sydney and Newcastle stations?
In regional areas, Freeview is only available for SBS/ABC.
Just wondering if anyone knows of any places you can do to dance/night club type vibe anywhere around Hunter Valley?
You wont find anywhere in the hunter valley region with this kind of vibe. The closest thing would be the Irish pub that maybe gets a little rowdy (rowdy for a pub) on weekend nights. Can’t remember what it’s called but google Irish pub hunter valley it’s big and very popular
Ideally as close to Pokolbin as possible!
In newcastle itself? Pokolbin area?
Go crashing weddings?
Otherwise it's Newcastle
Harrigans at Pokolbin or the Huntlee Tavern.
Have you checked out festivals Bulga beats is on soon
Your thinking of harrigans
Thanks for the advice!!!! Was hoping to find somewhere to bust out the moves hahaha
Hehehe where would you suggest in Newcastle?
Thank you!!!
Ooohhh thank you!!!
>Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
G'day all!
Have a mate who with his lovely missus are expecting their first bub in August.
His lovely wife has taken to being pregnant like an old campaigner.
My mate however is just eating himself alive and has developed (as described by his wife) a fear he's built up that he for some some reason needs to know everything there is to know about babies (like, WELL beyond what a layman would need to know to keep bubs safe, healthy and happy).
Now, to the actual point after the required back story.
When my wife and I welcomed our second bub in 2009, we were given, I suppose what you'd call an obstetrics and delivery info pack during the pregnancy checkups as the approximate due date approached (John Hunter Women's and Children's Hospital, Newcastle, NSW).
In the pack was this particular long pamphlet / booklet sort of deal (it may have been directly by NSW Health, but my wife reckons it was done by some mob on behalf of NSW Health) that was clearly written to alleviate expectant fathers' fears with a bit of humour and explained to first time dads what they could expect in the first few days, weeks and months of taking baby home, by way of talking about bubs care needs, from the perspective of working on a car.
So, for example, explaining how bubs getting colostrum from mum was like putting a turbo into bub's immune system, how to be careful washing bub's Noggin around the soft spot as in, you wouldn't rough up the cars fuse box, bub's first poo was a new engine blowing out the cobwebs etc.
Unfortunately, we didn't keep a copy of this pamphlet / booklet, but, we really wish we did.
So, main questions (congrats on making it this far):
1. Anyone remember this pamphlet / booklet as well from around the same time?
2. Who produced it / wrote it?
3. Did anyone keep a copy, and would it be possible for us to get even a scanned pdf of each page so we can pass it along?
Thanks all.
Tl;dr:
- 2008/09 pregnancy / delivery education packs had funny booklet for first time dads.
- Used comparisons to working on cars and humour to try and help give new dads an idea on what to expect and an understanding of looking after bubs in the first days, weeks, months.
- Hoping someone may have kept a copy, maybe could send us scanned pages.
- Needed to hopefully help VERY nervous first time upcoming Dad mate.
I worked in maternity and I remember it doing the rounds, but I can’t remember where it came from. Let me ask some people and get back to you.
EDIT: this is not the exact same one, but it’s along the same lines.

Parents gave me and mrs an OLD 70's, 80's Australian booklet on pregnancy, delivery etc. Most interesting part was stretching the perinium with your fingers/hand whatever which is no longer in the current booklets. My wife never tore down there after three births and all her friends did. Anyway congrats to your mate, I'm sure he'll take to fatherhood like a duck to water.
Great video Tom. You've got a +1 sub
Thank you! This is a beautiful reminder of how good we have it here in NSW.
This is fucking amazing. Nice work.
Where did you shoot this ?
Really glad you enjoyed, thanks mate!
I scrolled for far too long to find these photos. That, in itself, is not okay.
——————————————————
Steven Tougher, you were a paramedic, a Registered Nurse, an Enrolled Nurse, a NSWNMA member and local branch executive, and a St. John Ambulance NSW volunteer/cadet. More recently, a husband and soon-to-be father. And all along an amazing, intelligent, fun-loving, and kind-hearted friend.
You dedicated every moment of your existence to helping others. You are exactly what this world needs, and you were torn from this world when your life had only just begun. None of this is fair, or right, or okay.
You’re the man I always hoped I would be some day. Yes, I’m The Man, deal with it. I’ll get there some day, but I’m so much closer now than I was when I met you. It’s been so, so hard.
You dragged me, kicking and screaming, through the end of my nursing degree and all but one week of my new-grad year. You taught me all about the bullshit politics in nursing that were never okay, are still not okay, and will never be okay. You celebrated with me when I married the love of my life. We had nights out, and nights in; drinking, talking, laughing.
I was so mad at you when I would invite you out, or in, and you would say yes only to bail at the last minute. You said yes to everything. You bailed because you finally realised you could only physically be in one place at a time. You weren’t flaking, you were trying so hard not to miss a moment of the action. You wanted to be everything, everywhere, all at once.
To Steve’s wife, Madison Tougher, I’m so sorry. I’m sorry I let my own problems overcome me the past few years. I’m sorry I wasn’t a good enough friend to Steve, and we drifted, and I couldn’t be there to celebrate the day he married the love of his life. I’m sorry you’re being bombarded right now with grief and well-meaning supporters. I’m so so sorry for your babies who will never experience life and growth with this amazing man. You all deserve the world full of happiness and joy, not this.
To Steve’s parents Jeff Tougher and Jill Tougher, sister and family, I’m so sorry. You’ve all been through so much already. Steve did everything he could, every single day, to make sure nobody else in the world would feel the sadness and grief your family has felt. No one could imagine your pain at this time, and nothing will make it go away. I’m just so sorry.
First responders, frontline workers, paramedics, nurses, volunteers, we are here to help. How can we help anyone if this is the way the world is going to treat us? If we can’t even feel safe in our workplaces, how can we be expected to keep other people safe?
I’m going to continue on my journey to become The Man I was always meant to be. I’m going to keep working, studying, planning, growing. I’m going to change the fucking world, Steve. I’m going to do it for you, and for me, and everyone that’s been hurt like we’ve been hurt.
We will never forgive this disgusting, cowardly act. And we will never forget you.
It’s your time to rest, Steve. You did everything you possibly could. Please allow yourself to rest peacefully and look after yourself, wherever you are. We will all hurt for a long while here but we will be okay one day. I’ll keep looking after everyone I can as long as I’m here. It’s always been my job, too.
I’m so sorry, Steve.
We love you forever. We will never forget.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I wrote some comments about my own single encounter with him, which in a small way mirrors your experience of him being a mentor to you, in another thread but I couldn’t say enough good things about him. In fact, my mum told me this happened by referencing the one time I met him and immediately knew who he was. He was studying to be an ambo at the time I met him and to hear he was only on the job for a year is devastating.
It wasn’t his time to rest at all, but some fuck wit decided it was. He had nothing but great things ahead of him including a fucking baby on the way.
The more I think about it, the more I dread the disgustingly short sentence this scum will probably get because our courts are garbage. I feel so awful for his family.
Farewell good Sir.
Went to school with him, did a few school musicals with him and my sister studied with him. Genuinely nice lad, privileged to have known him
##PutOutYourTogas
Heaps of the nurses at Shellharbour hospital and local paramedics are gutted.
So sorry for your loss. He seemed like someone that loved life to the fullest and would do anything for anyone. He didn’t deserve what happened fly high brother wherever you are RIP
im so sorry mate, stay strong.
Absolutely devastating loss. I am so sorry for you and all who loved him. One day his child will read these stories you’ve all shared and hopefully get a sense of the wonderful man
Was it a random attack or some smack head trying to steal drugs?
I cant begin to imagine what that must be like to go through. A blokes life just doesnt deserve to be taken like that. A few weeks of marriage in, and a second kid on the way.
I hope the vultures in the media arent making your lives too much of a struggle, and that you all get through the grief, anger, pain, and suffering without too much difficulty.
