Bullshit….. if you want “rage” teaches and nurses need more than the I go forward and back army. Bus drivers are more deserving ….. rail is union bullshit. Now labour is in government the unions cash grab is in …. Not withstanding the federal and state handouts to all during covid to keep Netflix alive. Those handouts kept “the real workers alive” but you are a paid shrill which won’t accept that.

The strikes are because the NSW gov will not put the verbal agreement in writing. The union doesn't trust them to hold their end up.

/u/Initial_Average592, I have found an error in your comment:

> “want … but ~~your~~ [**you're**] a paid”

In this case, it is possible for Initial_Average592 to type “want … but ~~your~~ [**you're**] a paid” instead. ‘Your’ is possessive; ‘you're’ means ‘you are’.

I suggest that you, Initial_Average592, post “want … but ~~your~~ [**you're**] a paid” instead. ‘Your’ is possessive; ‘you're’ means ‘you are’.

Does anyone know about the support money on myGov I got told there was $1000 version and $6000 version is this true? If so where is the $6000 version as I can only find the $1000 one.

AFAIK, $1,000/ adult, $600(?)/child.

Is $6,000 a business thing?

Thanks for the help!

$6000 was for rental support for the floods earlier in the year. https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/apply-flood-recovery-rental-support-payment

Current support is $1000 for adults and $400 for children. https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/floods/financial-assistance

Good luck if you need this,

Any idea why there's an apparent egg shortage "due to customer demand" [BS obviously]?

Just came home from my weekly shop, Aldi had heaps of stock

Also because eggs are a pretty healthy food that is relatively cheap people are probably eating more eggs.

Costco has plenty

Im sure theyre just not paying farmers fairly for eggs the greedy cunts

I think my son ate them all.

Whenever he isn't in the gym he's smashing eggs.

[deleted]

Probably just usual staff shortages due to COVID and flu reducing the number of workers on farms to pack egg cartons, transport them, etc.

The shortage for the most part is bs: it’s trade negotiations between large producers and Coles/Woolies breaking down over pricing.

If there was a real shortage, you’d be getting lower quality and smaller portions before they’ll be actual shortages at production. These farmers and businesses aren’t stupid and have disaster and continuity planning in place when there is a shortage.

*I should clarify, there is technically a shortage in NSW due to floods, while NSW has the most for any state, it’s only 31% of the Australian egg market and less than half of those producers were effected

Coles and Woolies from my own work experience have too much bargaining power, they know they can make or break a business by working with them and the margins down to the cent can equal millions

A few years back Woolies ordered millions of units from Coke, only to cancel the order and then try to bargain with Coke to drop the price

Coles picked up the slack and that’s why for a few years Coke ran a lot of promotions only through Coles or new flavours exclusively to Coles.

Duopolies are bad, it sucks that the only alternatives aren’t Australian in my area

I have found that over the last few weeks, my local Coles has been light on eggs (meaning, they have some eggs, but the shelves are pretty bare, sometimes, empty). We have two dozen on the go in our fridge. Once one carton is finished, I will go and buy a second. That way, it gives me some leer way if there's no eggs.

If you have a yard just go buy a couple of hens.

Of course it's a load of bullshit.

How do we run out of eggs? It's not like people are panic-buying and hoarding them like it's toilet paper.

I find it hard to believe that we've gone through a pandemic, bushfires, floods, and fuck knows what else over the past few years, and at no point did we ever run out of eggs or even come close to having supply shortages.

And yet here we are, all of a sudden.

Maybe the hens are on strike as well.

Ah, OK. Must be something with the Woolies & Coles suppliers. Thanks, for the tip.

I went to Costco Marsden Park on Wednesday and they had plenty. Apparently, they had even more there yesterday.

So I needn't look in the whey protein section either.

Yeah, my 16yo son is eating eggs like they're going out of fashion. Along with the tins of tuna. I only buy them when they're half price in order to keep him fed.

My local Coles has now got the 2 per customer limit on tissues again.

In winter laying slows down dramatically. I have 12 hens and get 1 egg a week if I'm lucky.

I had hens once, but now no yard. Australorps lay the best eggs.

They’re going to try make this illegal soon, blaming a magical new strain of “bird flu” (as well as swine flu for pigs)

But if you go to Aldi they have f all beef cuts available. Sucks now that you need to go to all three to get what you want when trying to shop in one go.

If you are short, I'm sure he will do a deal. He'll swap you for smoked flavour tuna and some avocados.

I don't understand teenagers anymore.

Same. Probably around 8-10 tins of tuna per week, and soooo much chicken. He might be responsible for a rice shortage soon.

If he could learn to crack eggs on a flat surface instead of the side of the pan, I would be very grateful.

"Supply-chain issues" -- again.

Yeah, mine has destroyed a pan by cracking the egg on the side of it. I'm refusing to buy a new pan - it's a small one, perfect for two fried eggs. That size is so difficult to come by.

Just FYI, cooked rice is freezable. Just add a tiny amount of water to reheat in microwave.

hello all,

I'm from Ireland and planning to move to Sydney this September.

I currently hold a learners motorbike license (for any cc bike)

in Ireland and is wondering if that will work when I arrive?

if not, what are the steps needed to apply for new NSW learners license.

thank you <3

Hello! Here's a table showing which overseas licences can map to which NSW licences: https://www.nsw.gov.au/driving-boating-and-transport/driver-and-rider-licences/visiting-or-moving-to-nsw/moving-overseas-licence/check-your-licence-eligibility

Based on what you wrote, it seems like you will be able to get a riders learners licence, and you won't have to do the 2-day pre-learner course. You can do that in any Service NSW branch.

It also seems that you should be able to use your existingI Irish licence for 3 months before you need to convert it. That's worth asking in Service NSW as well.

Do the learners course. It WILL save your life.

Goulburn council shooting themselves in the foot.

The track is in the middle of nowhere and 1km aware from the track noise is at conversation level at worst.

The track brings a steady stream of revenue to Goulburn, with people stopping, staying and dining in Gouldburn most weekends.

Of I owned a cafe or hotel in Goulburn I'd be demanding answers.

Lol it's in the boonies. There is obviously a local cocky with some sway in council who doesn't want the track noise to upset his sheep and canola.

Where are advanced/safe driver courses going to be held?

How are you going to stop people being hoons and reducing road deaths without facilities?

The people who bought land around Wakefield and the council have just destroyed motorsport in the southern part of NSW, and signed the death orders of many.

My husband would go to Wakefield once a month to do motorcycle track days... Goulburn is a 2 hour drive, but now there is nothing, nothing except the \*public\* alpine roads.

It was so good until land development surrounding it...

I am pretty convinced it has to do with the land value, now that Goulburn is becoming yet another NSW satellite of Canberra.

Force out the track, buy up the land, and subdivide into McMansions. It is still somewhat isolated, but not isolated enough for the neighbours not to be complete d\*cks.

My mate in Highway Patrol is livid!

Check out Marulan if you havent, its much smaller than wakefield but hey it’s something. Yes it sucks… nsw has no motorsport parks and smsp is outrageous expensive for any teen/ young adult to afford it.

$300k seems like nothing?

I’ve seen sheep still alive, terribly mauled by wild dogs, it’s heartbreaking. Also pretty scary going for a run to see wild dogs up in the bush. In the country, we don’t take feral animals lightly.

Dingos, not wild dogs.

One of the main points of the article is that 3/4 of the wild dogs are actually dingos

Not sure if this is the right place to ask.

As you're supposed to match the speed of traffic when entering a freeway - e.g. 110km/h, what do I do as a NSW Red P Plater who can only drive 90km/h?

It makes merging awkward because I can't match the speed of the lane I'm entering into. What is the proper way of doing things? Help!

I nearly got rear ended merging onto the highway in a 110 zone back when it learner's was 80 on my bike.

A police officer pulled me up and he said "off the record, it's safer for you to get upto highway speeds then slow down over the next km when traffic us back to normal. Then sit in the slow lane"

Honestly, I'd probably follow that.

You’ll have to join the majority of drivers who try to merge at 60kmh. Lol. It’s good to see that you are worried about trying to do it the right way.

Yeah you just kind of have to. Just merge when safe and never let another car behind or in front of you dictate your speed.

Just drive the car normally and don’t interrupt the flow of traffic, that’s a bullshit rule and everyone knows it

Honestly, make the other cars slow down. I suggest never going in the right hand lane, and going up to around 100km/h for the merge IF REQUIRED, and then slow back to 90 as soon as possible. I never said that though

Go at whatever speed is safest to merge depending on the traffic and slow down once you are safely in the left lane

It may not be the best advice but it is good to get in the habit of merging safely instead of prioritising the speed limit

There are cases when the safest thing to do is to go faster than the limit. If it is purely a safety call, and for some reason you do get pulled over, don't admit to anything except doing what you thought was safest.

Absolutely my pet hate is people trying to merge doing 60/70ks.

But yes don't break the law to merge you'll only have to do 90ks for awhile and it's better then being permanently dead.
