Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out the best way to get from Brisbane to Armidale from what I can see it's to catch a train from Brisbane to Grafton then a couple of busses from Grafton to Armidale.
Just wanted to see if any locals know of any better ways to get there
Fastest way is to fly Link Airways or if you time it right you can catch the train to Coffs Harbour and get the Dorrigo Transit shuttle from Coffs to Armidale, otherwise it’s the train and two coaches.
Fly to Coffs Harbour and drive/bus to Armidale.
Cheers for all the help guys. Managed to sort out a flight with link airways 🤝.
Link flys direct to Armidale $375 flying to Coffs is $231 then is a bus
Thanks mate, much obliged
In other word, don't forget those bigger dams we want, so we can sell more water and created bigger water shortages in the future.
Accurate! I wonder if these infrastructure helps people anyway apart from filling the pockets of a certain section that push them.
Never heard of it.
Solo is the best!
Come down! It’s been great fun.
It's in the calendar for next year.

I have so much mingled pity and contempt for the parents who were stupid enough to drive through flood waters, but who also paid a horrible price for their decision. The siblings must have been scared out of their wits, but that poor little 5yo boy… that’s old enough to somewhat understand what is happening and be so very frightened. What a terrible way to go. That poor family.
parents/carers are fucking idiots.
awww so very sad.. Heartfelt Sympathy to his Parents and loved ones !!
>Police said a Toyota Hilux with five occupants was submerged at about 8pm.
>Police remained at the scene overnight and a search operation commenced on Saturday.
>About 3.20pm, the boy’s body was located in the submerged Hilux by police divers.
I would not want the police/rescue/divers to put themselves nor others at risk, but nearly a whole day to check the vehicle for the boy? Or was it known he was there and deceased, just couldn't officially say it until the body was recovered? Sad either way. Really sad.
Looks like we need an educational video on TV about when to stop driving a car during times of heavy rain
It's entirely possible that, even if they knew the location of the vehicle, they then have to set about stabilising it and securing it before they try to make entry and then put a diver inside the vehicle to locate the body. All of this in a still-flooded, rapidly moving body of water.
If it has been overnight, there's no chance the kid is still alive, so it's pointless to risk a life for a body recovery. It sounds callous, but that's the job some days.
Yeah. That's a very good point.
good to see other places getting some good times :)

Hooray, not as many bushfires! /s
there is no clarification if the new driver’s licence will mean a new driver’s licence number, which does not usually change with the issuance of a new card. Only the card number changes.
https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/replace-nsw-driver-licence-online
This is what is stunning to me. Everyone is so worried about the Optus breach but noone seemed to batter an eye when Transport NSW had the same issue. I was notified that my drivers licence, home address, mobile, birthdate, and more was leaked online when Transport NSW had a data breach. They issued me a new licence (and new number) as a result. Here are the details: [https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/news-and-events/articles/transport-for-nsw-impacted-by-worldwide-accellion-data-breach](https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/news-and-events/articles/transport-for-nsw-impacted-by-worldwide-accellion-data-breach)
I also have Optus, so now my details have been leaked twice. But at least I have a new licence number. Bit harder to change my DOB though.... I am wondering if I can get a new medicare number at this point.
I believe they are issuing digital ones with updated numbers
https://www.9news.com.au/national/optus-data-leak-drivers-license-replacement-process-fees-state-by-state/4f7e8956-75d5-4528-b7b6-c25ea803b4d7
It does NOT.
At least not up to last year. A friend got his identity stolen, and he had to jump through a LOT of hoops to get a new driver licence ID number. ~~It's not something the RMS offers, AFAIK.~~
New card number, but not a new licence number.
I am reading about having your licence card number changed meaning a negative impact on your credit score?
Replacing your licence will mean new card numbers are generated, but not the licence number itself.
Your licence number itself requires special applications to be reviewed if you need it changed.
New card number which is the same as nothing imo.
Just like I see people moving to Vodafone but I hope they are changing their number coz otherwise, it is the same as nothing.
The license number won't change, only the card number, unless you can prove you are the victim of fraud and need to change both.
Transport NSW press release confirmed no new licence number, only card numbers.
If you look at the breached data files you will notice that the data is the licence number not the card number, so the outcome is that your details are still just as compromised after paying the $29 replacement fee.
Hi all, on 1 Sept 2022 new requirements came into play meaning institutions must run the Driver licence and Card Number to complete a DVS check against ID. Tis means simply replacing your licence will protect you from a breach against the old Licence and Card Number.
Search Optus Breach on the SNSW website for details.
Sorry for the outdated advice in my previous comments.
Realise you need licence and card number to do an application but still :( I've received SMS today confirming my licence number was leaked so not impressed with only changing the card number.
Just now the NSW Government sent out an email suggesting that people impacted by the Optus "breach" may not need to replace their licence. They claim that people ONLY need to replace their cards if BOTH the driver licence number AND the card number have been compromised, since 'both are required to verify your identity'.
Is it just me or is this plain stupid?
I don't even remember the last time I had to provide my card number to verify my identity. However, my licence number is often required.
I'm I the exception here?

>I believe they are issuing digital ones with updated numbers
Does it definitely come with an updated number though? It never used to. I've had the same licence number after losing my previous (physical) licence and having it reissued.
The Service NSW Optus FAQ says you can get a new licence but nowhere does it explicitly say this will give you a new licence number (not just card number).
https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/optus-breach-faqs
Can anyone who has already had theirs reissued confirm that it does actually change your licence number?
Transport for NSW does do it. But it takes proof of fraud and special consideration as there are a lot of issues and ramifications to issuing a new licence number to an individual.
Credit scores are mostly irrelevant and licences are not a financial application so no reason for a credit check ping?
You'd be able to check the privacy collection notice if you wanted to know if they share data with this parties.
NSW DVS checks now require licence and card number so old card number after a replace licence will protect the individual compared to the past. Only changed on 1 Sept so a new protection. Timely.
DVS in NSW since 1 Sept needs both. So an old card number won't run and will stall an application. Should provide additional protection compared to other states.
They did take it yes. She said they have to. Wont mail the new one until head office receives the old one. They gave me an interim bit of paper as a licence.
Your mate should open up a new bank account with the old licence and say his identity was stolen
Replacement doesn't, but people can lodge a special application to have their actual licence/customer number changed.
Edit: NSW now requires both DL and Card Number to be run by institutions as part of document verification service checks. This came into force on 1 Sept 2022 and should protect customers without a complete licence number change.
Thanks. Updated.
That's what I gathered, but then why is the minister saying this:
>Customer Services Minister Victor Dominello said people in the state can get a new digital driver's licence issued instantly via the Service NSW app.
In the Service NSW App the link directs you here:
https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/renew-or-upgrade-nsw-driver-licence
Which will only reissue your card and won't change your licence number.
The Optus FAQ on the Service NSW link also directs to the same page and also only talks about getting a new licence, not a new licence number.
Where's the special application?
It's not something you can find online. You'd have to go in, prove fraud has occurred, and request the process.

Cheers mate, you're a legend
