Glen Innes is lovely and affordable

Yeah ACT is bad but I thought Queanbeyan wasn’t too bad in comparison?

Worth having a look. I know a lot of people that live there.

Maitland region is close to Newcastle & the beach in summer

So it will offer more things for teens to do

But it does get hot in summer

Bathurst is a uni town so there is youth around

& it is a colder climate

Am not sure about the youth vibe in other towns

Awesome advice! Thank you

Yes I know the expression. What choice did I make? And what am I waiting for?

The expression 'made your bed' is predicated on a choice one has made, a bad decision at that.

What did I do wrong that I now have to live with the consequences?

And what do I wait for? What is the future state that will make some difference?

Yeah I didn't do a damn thing to make myself near homeless, I am trying to make myself at least semi-employable. And it's the economy that is pushing people like me into regional areas.

We need rental housing reform.

If we fight between ourselves, then nothing gets better.

It's just going to get worse. There's no protection for renters, the owners can just keep raising rents, and those of us at the lower end are going to get squeezed pretty bad.

Thanks so much

...and unfortunately, places like Bega have been swamped last few years by tree changers. I think all that's left that is cold, rural and affordable is the very South of WA or remote Tas.

I am thinking about doing mcom extension at USYD and would love some advice on the specific subjects to select in Marketing and Finance double major.

What I am confused is for each major e.g. Finance you do 1 core, 1 foundation subject and then you pick only 3 electives to fulfil the requirement. How can only 5 subjects be enough when I think the undergrad is 9 subjects?

Is this enough to get a decent job in say investment banking or other finance industry?

Any information/ advice would be appreciated as asking the uni directly is biased/ scripted answers.

Background: 31yo with BCOM at another G08 university in International Business. Work as an assistant sales analyst at the moment. Been in the retail industry for 6 years

Motivation to do MCOM: Personal fulfilment and curiosity. Love all aspects of business and hope to own my own as my ultimate goal in life. Will also do a digital marketing bootcamp. Hoping to work in digital marketing possibly for finance sector but also want to keep my options open for potential VC jobs or change of industry as moving up the ladder in the fashion industry is proving to be too slow and difficult. Many colleagues all have a masters (so trying to be more competitive). Highly motivated my money, my income is too low and I am struggling every week just to keep my head above water so I am hoping this extra credential and knowledge learnt will help this aspect.

Marketing

* Creating Persuasive Communications

* Consumer Behaviour

* International and Global Marketing

* Brand Management

Does anyone know what became of the cavernous space under George Street Sydney which was formally the dining space for Maccas?

You could enter either through the McDonalds restaurant which is still in the same place today, or you could descend from the footpath through a small covered stairway outside the cinemas (possibly HOYTS) which was on the opposite side of George Street.

You'll get much better responses in r/sydney

I’m banned from there for posting a video of people dressed up as sheep during the Covid protests

Perhaps you could ask the question there and I’ll check-out the replies?

Lol

Posting this here because the other place (you can guess) got very nasty, and wouldn't even let the post stay up (a particular mod power-tripping, I later established). Then they (or rather "he") proceeded to abuse me repeatedly when I asked why, lol. Fun times. So yeah, figured I would come here instead. Much more sane and wholesome, I hope.

Anyway...

I don't particularly feel like getting into a political discussion about this one, or anything of the sort (not today). You can, if you want, but I'm just... Not up to that, right now.

So that's it, from me. I just thought it was worth putting out there. It's all yours, now.

Look, I appreciate that some things about the article are a bit... Odd, like, the fact that they all happen to look like models (that makes me sound like a Russian conspiracy theorist, doesn't it? But no, what I mean is - this won't be the same experience as most refugees.), and the fact that they're living in fucking Dee Why, *Dee Why*, with a former Ukrainian dancer/circus performer (or maybe she doesn't actually live there, too. I'm not sure.), but... It's wholesome, nonetheless.

Here's two more, somewhat similar, but less Sydney specific (oddly, perhaps, both from the South Coast/Southern Illawarra, so that's good, for the sub!), stories about other Ukrainian refugees, also from the ABC:

*Ukrainian war refugees in Australia face with bureaucratic hurdles to humanitarian visas*

[https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-25/ukraine-refugees-australia-visa-health-costs-anastasiia-kulchak/101091380](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-25/ukraine-refugees-australia-visa-health-costs-anastasiia-kulchak/101091380)

And

*Fleeing Ukraine, Inna has reunited with her sister in Australia. But now what?*

or alternatively: *Ukraine refugee Inna Neklesa grateful for kindness of family, strangers, but wonders what is next* (because the ABC positively **loves** to change the lede, from the headline you actually click on...)

[https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-12/ukraine-refugee-reaches-safety-of-australia-on-visa-what-next/101043802](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-12/ukraine-refugee-reaches-safety-of-australia-on-visa-what-next/101043802)

Doesn't have to be illegal to land someone in deep shit. Police can easily find that stuff on a phone. It's hard evidence, the kind of evidence you need for a custodial sentence. Phone crimes carry heavy penalties, as does stalking.

A very short answer to “is tracking someone without their knowledge legal?” Is no.

A longer answer takes into account a lot of variables. For instant allowing police to use a phone to track etc.

It all falls under the surveillance devices act 2007 No 64 and I believe you’re looking for section 9

[here’s the relevant law](https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/whole/html/inforce/current/act-2007-064)

Not sure, I'd advise not to do it irrispective

Are you talking about the Apple Find My app on iOS? That can’t track anyone without their permission. If you’re talking about another app, please clarify.

The person would have to have access to your phone, then use the app to share your location.

If you find your location is being shared you can just revoke the sharing approval from your phone and change your phone password so they can’t get in to share your location again.

As for the legalities? I’d imagine that if your phone has a passcode and you haven’t given them explicit approval to access your device you could very well have a case as this would be accessing private information without permission.

My understanding is a legal proceeding would have nothing to do with what app was accessed, but everything to do with permission to access the device and expectation of security and or privacy of the device.

They may not even need ur phone to access ur info…I’m not sure if it’s used here but in the US, FBI n police use a device called ‘Stingray’ they drive around n every mobile phone they pass, connects to it, giving them access to all data in your phone… it’s illegal to use, as it violates one of their amendments (4th, I think) I highly doubt they stopped using it after it was exposed n if Aussie cops have access to it, they’d use it

Yeah of course, thanks for your reply! was more wondering if it’s illegal as someone has done it to me and I don’t know if it’s worth reporting or if I don’t really have a leg to stand on

Yes it was the Find My app on my own phone

Note that they said their own phone, meaning one could steal your phone and add their number, then accept it on their end

You should report it.

It might not mean anything to you, you may have not come to any harm from this. You also might not be the first or last person to be targeted in this way and it may well save someones life years down the track just by having this on record.

Could be grounds to get a restraining order.

How did they gain access to your device to do that?

I’m not sure but it had a passcode, so I assume they saw me put it in and when I was out of the room they went on and did it? But my passcode is not something I shared

Change your device PIN, if you haven’t already.

Then you need to make sure they haven’t got access to the rest of your account.

Log into appleid.apple.com and verify there are no other trusted devices associated with your account that you don’t recognise. If you do find any, take a screenshot and get all other information about them that you can (serial number, etc), then remove them and change your password.
