I use mine on a dashboard mount, as navigation. A cop can claim I touched it, then I lose the phone. This dis-proportionally affects the self-employed working class.
We already have massive fines, start enforcing them properly.
Ow! It happened again! Stop it! Geez! Just stop talking!
Believe me, confiscating phones wont do a damn thing to prevent road deaths.
Moron.
Yeah sorry I should have specified. As long as you have an international licence, it doesn’t matter what visa you are on.
You're automatically claiming bad faith from the cops and that they're looking for any excuse to hassle people.
But simultaneously we don't have enough cops on the road and they're understaffed/never there when you need them.
If a cop really wanted to fuck with you they don't need these laws.

Probably true
I've never had a problem with the cops, but I'm an unattractive white man.
With the abundance of cameras and social media presence these days, cops have to be very careful what they do and say. Needlessly giving them more power isn't the way to go.
"Don't agree with" implies your stupidity has weight. A comparison to climate change would be appropriate, except the climate change deniers have political influence that lends them momentum, which is almost like same thing. That's a physics joke, you wouldn't get it.
I guess a comparison to the flat earthers works though. No facts, no substance, no political power... just stubborn, foolish belief in the face of all evidence.
We can "disagree" about lots of things, but we don't "disagree" about COVID vaccinations or the effectiveness of Western Australia's response to the pandemic.
I have no idea what your first point had to do with the conversation. Good to know, I guess.
As for your second point, we utilise something called checks and balances.
Give the cops the power to confiscate mobile devices for people who are ID'd as driving while using their phone. The cops then have the power to charge someone and temporarily take the phone away.
But then they have to have irrefutable proof that the person they've charged was using their phone in a manner which fits the crime.
The most common way that people get stung for using their phones while driving currently is motorcycle police passing them in heavy traffic or at traffic lights. It's amazingly easy to see someone holding their phone from the perspective of a bike rider.
They have helmet cams and the camera can also easily capture the evidence.
If a cop abuses this and confiscates a phone without adequate proof then the cop should be punished. Just like any other situation where they abuse their power.
If your argument to this is 'well they won't get punished because the police and courts are all correct ACAB' or some shit then there's not much point discussing this

If you had to do your fav thing in Perth today what would you choose?
I’ve been to waterfalls and the zoo, so what’s the funnest, coolest or best thing you guys like to do here?
If you're in the CBD, go visit Kings Park. It's free and from what I can see from my window... it's also not raining :D
Watch the Prestige movie again
We have waterfalls???
Get a conti roll and chinotto at the leederville re-store
I'd spend a couple hours soaking in the spa at Steamworks. End my trip on a relaxing note.
I would hire a bike at Riverside Dr (not sure if it's still there) and do a river loop.
Perth Mint tour.
It's better to stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
You will be lucky to get a few drip from Serpentine falls.
Yes we do. They're not Niagara falls but they're still pretty enough.
Monster size one in the little jungle just north of The Narrows. Monster.
You can even swim in the pool below.
Heard OP was in the passenger side of their best friends ride.
Looking to take my teenager to a VR centre in the coming weeks & being totally clueless, I am wondering which centre would be best for a solo player? A lot seem geared towards groups but I am clueless on this area
optimus gaming in osbourne park. You basically just buy an hour to use the VR gear and you play by yourself, you can choose from a wide range of games.
[https://www.optimusgaming.com.au/](https://www.optimusgaming.com.au/)
I've done it a few times solo
VR Arrival in Vic Park is pretty good with a decent size library of games to choose from. I've done a bunch of hour long solo sessions, and the staff are incredibly helpful
Thank you! One of them said they had gone to a place before but didn't know where however Osborne Park would definitely be convenient when they went with the other parent
Thank you! I had them on my shortlist as was close to where we will be staying & no parking hassles to worry about
Looking for advice regarding best ticket options, types of seating and the general process of attending the cricket at Australia vs India, coming at the end of the year at Optus. I want to buy tickets for my partner but I don't know what I'm doing. Would kindly appreciate any advice please.
Don't bother pre-buying tickets, at test matches at Optus on most days you can sit anywhere in the stadium, other than private boxes, members area etc, nobody checks where you choose to sit, if they do, plead stupidity and move elsewhere.
Just turn up on the day, buy the cheapest ticket, find the best available seats and enjoy.
Best seats are on the river side, otherwise you’ll be facing the sun in the afternoon session. If you get tickets with a seat number, roll in whatever time you choose. Members seats are a first-in, best dressed scenario.
You can bring in a small cooler bag (not a hard eski). You can bring in sealed soft drink/gatorade etc, water bottles need to be empty (there’s water fountains inside). If you drink alcohol, expect premium prices and double park when ordering as queues can get long.
Make sure you slip slop slap. You can bring in sunscreen, but not aerosol.
Food wise, the concessions will most likely accommodate for the majority Indian crowd. Expect to pay for the nose though. I generally BYO lunch/snacks and occasionally get an ice cream later in the day.
I usually bring a towel too, to cover my seat from the heat.

Pay the extra and get tickets for the sports lounge. The only way to watch cricket at the stadium.
I’m going with a group of people on the 1st day of the test, we are sitting in the sports lounge section, costs a bit extra but well worth it
Just ask him where he prefers to sit and go on ticketek and buy those ones, its all preference
When I went to watch the cricket against NZ and it was +37c from memory I was in block 128 which was close to being able to watch over the bowlers arm.
The last 5 or so rows got shade all day.

Try not to get too angry at the complete inefficiency and general ineptiude of how the bars are run.
Might be pretty full on Saturday against India, especially if the weather is nice.
Thank you
Excellent, thank you, as I am not a fan of the heat.
The only thing I would add to this is the Optus Stadium app is useful for finding the various concessions and nearby toilets.
Thanks for that.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
Good idea - thank you.
Thank you. As I'm not a fan of sitting in the heat.
Nah crowd will be big for Australia vs India. Big indian crowds always show up.
Oh, ok. Thank you.
Good tip.
Yes, you are right. But "pretty full" for a test match in Perth still only means a bit over half full. There will be plenty of seats to move to!
Yeah I imagine it’s going to be hectic over the weekend. Day 1 is a Friday this time too.
Against India or England on a Saturday it would be wise to probably purchase a seat that you want to be guaranteed to be yours, all other days you would be fine to get the cheapest ticket and sit where you want.
Mandurah Christmas lights won’t be looking very bright this year. Sounds to me the council has already made their decision.
I'm torn on this - on one hand yes its a christmas tradition, and it's certainly spectacular. I enjoyed it myself for the first time last year, and they put on a hell of a show.
That being said - these residents make a considerable effort at their own cost and time which provides considerable benefit to the city economically.
So if they feel they aren't being heard and have some real concerns, then it's absolutely their right to say we'll stop participating in it.
The Mandurah canal Christmas lights bring a lot of tourists ,about 30,000 I think, which brings plenty of trade to local businesses as well as lots of Christmas charity donations. The tour boat operators make a sqillion. The canal residents spend a considerable amount of time and effort and money on the Christmas lights.They do it because they love it .It is a local community cooperation and friendly competition thing and pretty much everyone has family visit over Christmas .A high percentage of canal residents are wealthy successful retired or semi retired folk.
And that's gone because the council are wankers.
King Carnival is an eyesore and needs to be bulldozed
Aren't these the many, the little guys, not "the privileged few"?
Surely the brewery developer is "the privileged few"?
Tradition is just peer pressure from the other side
Am I missing something? Is the issue here that people are angry with the people are refusing to put up lights on their own properties? Like can't they decide for themselves whether they want to put thousands of dollars into buying lights and lots of effort into putting those lights up, isn't it reasonable for them to decide they don't want to as a protest against the development?
Nothing to see here, NIMBYs doing their thing.
Huh?
A brewery and xmas lights?
I don't get the connection and the article seems... unable to explain what the issue is.
Or am I missing a LOT?
I'll reread the article to see if I can make more sense of it...
No, it talks about 'the lights display' but never explains what lights display, or where. It does show some photos of lights on houses that are on the canal, but blathers on about the magic in the heart of Mandurah - which is NOT anywhere near the canals.
And traffic? A nightmare of traffic in Halls Head? Not Mandurah? What?
I'm confused and do not care anymore, channel 9, you need better AI to write your articles.
Not considering the time it takes to put the lights up, the residents pay for their displays themselves, which can cost them thousands upon thousands of dollars, plus paying for the electricity, just so that tourists and residents can view them, and so they donate to the Rotary wishing well as they go past, which exclusively goes to local charities and NFP groups. Even during the "off" season (I.e not christmas) there are still mandurah cruises that go through the canals, people hire houseboats to go through themselves etc, to gawk at the residents and their houses. I think these people are allowed to have a bit of a say in what gets developed on a park near their residences, and since they're not being listened to, they're well within their rights to not spend dozens of hours and lots of money setting up lights so that they have a chance at having a say.
We need to keep the place that teaches kids how to gamble... Ex. has spent so much money there because our son wanted a cheap $2 toy from the claw machine, or spend $6 to win a 20c thing with the clowns as the balls didn't add up to a specific number...
