There would have been absolute anarchy if they tried to force students to run with this sort of topic.
> That was demonstrated with the political fallout from the carbon tax
You mean because the media told the public the carbon tax was bad?
Please Google what hypothetical means. It's very clearly not real
The public disliked the carbon tax, just as the public would dislike being told they can't eat red meat... You have to stop blaming others for the simple fact that your ideological agenda and associated policies are just plain unpopular.
It's clearly very real in the mind of some academic at Curtin... I'd rather see these ideas sunk early than letting them grow into future problems.
> The public disliked the carbon tax
Again why did the public dislike the carbon tax? Last time I checked it went after corporations and had no meaningful impact on the quality of life of your everyday Australian.
So why did the public dislike something that wasn't affecting them? Because they were bombarded with messaging from a media empire and an opposition party who have always had major financial ties to the companies who were gonna be impacted by the carbon tax
Edit: Lmao RS044065 couldn't actually rebut my arguments and just blocked me instead
No it literally isn't real... they explain that in the third paragraph
any pedigree kittens available in perth atm? can travel + discuss prices etc. i have 2 other cats
* my partner and i are in contact with cat haven and perth rescue angels, all our previous cats have been rescues!!
Adopt through Perth rescue angels
There are so many older cats needing homes. Please do not support breeders when there is an abundance of animals in need of a home. If you really want a kitten then wait until a shelter has some available. You already have 2 cats so I don't see why you either can't wait until shelters have kittens or give other cats the home they need.
Stop caring about insta pics and get a slightly older cat. Don't be a dickhead and buy from a breeder.
Cat haven. Get 2. They help entertain each other and act as companions to each other.

9 lives cat rescue
There is a cat haven that likely has a few to choose from.
I dropped off 2 gorgeous kittens to the cat haven 17 days ago, unsure if they found homes They are Russian Blue X. I hope they found good homes. Although they are 6 months old, they had the most beautiful inquisitive nature. I will drop by in the next few days to see if they need any belly rubs. <3
imagine paying for pussy lol
i’ve contacted perth rescues and since its not kitten season, they rarely get kittens. im more looking for breeder suggestions
Missed the part where you have 2 already.
Point still stands though. 1 might feel picked on
Get 2.
i have 2 cats already, and cat haven doesn’t have any kittens right now.
Why a kitten though? An adult cat is much less likely to be adopted and will probably live out their lives in a shelter :(
i cant see them on the website! i think they mightve been adopted
Ew, adopt don't shop. Just wait for kitten season. Way more humane
Not true. Head to their PRA Wangara adoption event this weekend there is heaps of kittens attending and plenty more in foster carers homes.
getting 2 kittens at once can cause littermate syndrome and can do more harm than good!
Well damn, that sucks.
SAFE is an animal shelter that might help.
all of the animals i own are rescues, along with every member of my partner and i’s family. we regularly foster + donate to cat haven and perth angels. not that i owe you any form of explanation but i don’t want to come across as though im inhumane! im looking for a pedigree cat that can be trained + shown, hence why a rescue kitten isn’t what im looking for
can you send me a link? i live an hour away from there and haven’t seen anything about it thanks!
Then your post should say that you're looking for pedigrees.
ill edit the post, i didn’t realise so many people would be offended by this post my bad
Round 7.20pm Saturday in Woodbridge, I was in bed in bed and heard the most massive boom/bang/crash outside I’ve ever heard, I can’t even describe it.
Initially I thought a train had crashed (train-line close by), but then I got a text from someone in Darlington asking if I heard that thunder.
So I thought oh, probs was just thunder.
But thennn I got a text from someone else in Bickley asking if I heard it .. and they then tell me someone told THEM they heard it in fricken York??
Would that be thunder? Very far apart places to hear the same thunder from one cloud .. I don’t know. Someone explain the science of it please. Maybe I should’ve listened in school more I DON’T KNOW!!
Thunder is audible, generally no more than 15-20 km's so Darlington and Bickley would have definitely heard it. York would have been a different incident, probably around the same time. Thunder is caused by lightning and a good indicator to get off the golf course, it's the rapid expansion of the heated air.
When thunder is really loud, can be caused when the sound is trapped by a layer of warmer air above the colder ground air, the sound bounces between the ground and the warm layer making it appear louder than normal.
Thunder can be heard for 10s of kilometers away. I doubt the thunder heard in York is from the same strike, but I don't really know
Not sure which night it was on the weekend. Saw a lightning flash followed by the sky being lit up green. Figured it was a transformer exploding towards the hills somewhere. Didn't hear it because I was driving.
I’m more curious why you were ‘in bed’ at 7.20pm?!?!
Why not? My work day starts early so on good days I do the same.
All good. Thought you might be shift worker or possibly 5?
Hey yall,
I’ve moved back to WA and need to transfer my Qld registration to a WA one. I have a RWC that I got there (was trying to sell my car) that’s still in date (less than two months). Wondering if DoT would accept it or if I need to get a WA inspection done?
Your RWC is worth Jack shit here
[https://www.transport.wa.gov.au/licensing/license-a-vehicle-new-to-wa.asp](https://www.transport.wa.gov.au/licensing/license-a-vehicle-new-to-wa.asp)
Find out how to license/register a vehicle in Western Australia, including new and imported vehicles, interstate and expired vehicle licences.
Step 1: Get the vehicle inspected
Before an application for the grant of a vehicle licence can be made, the vehicle must be inspected for roadworthiness.
Inspections may be performed via an [Authorised Inspection Station](https://www.transport.wa.gov.au/licensing/get-a-vehicle-inspected.asp) (AIS) located throughout the [metropolitan](https://www.transport.wa.gov.au/licensing/get-a-vehicle-inspected.asp#41075) and [regional](https://www.transport.wa.gov.au/licensing/get-a-vehicle-inspected.asp#41074) areas
If your car is currently registered / licensed you don't have to go over the pits.
You do need to prove ownership over a time period 2 years ? I think.
I did this a long time ago so it may have changed
Pretty sure if it’s registered it won’t require an inspection, that’s why you see dangerous time bombs driving around with no lights and loose wheels all the time on the WA streets.
> you don't have to go over the pits.
Rubbish
It has changed. All interstate registrations have to be inspected now. I just did it three months ago.
It's qld registered, to get it done over here there no option but go over the pits, after that there's no yearly inspection like over east and as long as it stays registered no inspection is needed
I detailed my experience with a time disclaimer.
Rather than be a prick, how about you provide the OP with the CURRENT answer
You made a false claim and added a lame disclaimer in the fine print.
I gave the current answer.
My GP has given me a reference for an unspecified audiologist ("Dear Audiologist) so I am wondering if anyone can recommend a good audiologist in the Western Suburbs (near Wembley or Subiaco). I am reluctant to use those that seem like a retail store, like Amplifon, as they are probably interested in selling a product no matter what. I went to a similar (can't remember the name) style shop in Innalloo Shopping Centre a month or so back and they asked me to do a test which I failed. However, it was in their shop which had an open front facing the noisy food court at lunchtime, so that rang alarm bells for me.
Go to any [Lions Hearing Clinic](https://www.earscience.org.au/lions-hearing-clinic/), your nearest is Nedlands on the QEII Campus.
Remember, you’ll need to pay full price for the hearing test (unless you’re eligible for pensioner/DVA discounts), as GP referrals for audiology assessment are not medicare rebatable.
And you’re right about it ringing alarm bells being done in that setting. A good test should always be conducted in a sound proof booth.
Right, I'm very much deaf and deal with audiologists all the time, I highly recommend West Coast Audiology in Webley downs, Dr Phillipa Long there is absolutely brilliant and will work with you to get a great solution, and better yet she will talk you down to a common-sense hearing aid in regards to costs/features.
I can recommend Lions Hearing at Charlie’s.
I can vouch for the Ear Science Institute in Subiaco. They have a Lions within them and have great access to ENTs if you need them as well.
However, I personally see the audiologists at Charlie’s who are great but apparently very rare to get in with them through the public system (I had very crappy circumstances to get there)
My mum went to Lions and didn't have a great experience. She went to Specialist Hearing Services in Mount Hawthorn after and couldn't recommend them more.

I would also recommend Phillipa

I can’t recommend an audiologist but if you need help in the workplace once you have hearing aids contact JobAccess. They can fund the technology that works with your hearing aids in the workplace. They can’t fund the actual hearing aids.

My friend went through Costco for hearing aids and has been very happy with them.
Considering driving to either Murdoch/Bull Creek station and then taking the train to the city for work by 9am. But spots seem to fill up fast.
What’s the latest you reckon I could arrive and still get a carpark?
I’d suggest not parking on the train tracks, your car is either going to be hit by a locomotive or towed.
