If yes to both of these, you should be able to prove that they made a mistake by using your receipt / payment details.
I thought with any speed related offence when you’re a P plater = license suspension?
Question, my license suspension is supposed to terminate td, this is the 90th day of my 3 month suspension, will i be able to just drive at 12:01 am
Edit: all fines and suspension termination fees have been paid
Do the smart thing and become a bicyclist. vbg.
That really helps thank you
Yes I paid the fine within the Time period so it should be a mistake
Not on p2 licence
FYI if you contest in court, you don't get suspended if successful but you also don't lose the points balance. Next offence triggers a suspension instead.
Thank you I think the game plan is to take it to court

If you're in NSW would you prefer to keep DST or get rid of it. I head debate and I'm curious to see what the more common view is.

Daylight savings should be in winter if anything. Like, why the flip do we want it to get dark at 9pm during summer yet we're happy to accept it getting dark at 4:30 during winter. Seems very backwards to me.
I hate the changeover. I’d prefer to just keep standard time all year round, but I think it’s more important to just pick one time and stick to it.
I didn’t even realise DST was starting this weekend. I only realised when I noticed the clock in my car differed by an hour from my watch and phone, and that explained why I seemed to have slept in an extra hour.

yeh
Can we go the China route, they have one time zone for the whole country.
As someone who has lived in Qld and NSW, 0430 blazing sun on a Sunday after a few raspberry cordials on Saturday isn't fun. I am an advocate for later sunrises.
which ever way it goes I wish they would keep one time all year as I find the time change difficult to adapt to.
Not only would I like to keep it, I would like it to be that time zone all year round.
Lived in Perth for a bit. Having the sun come up at 4am in the middle of summer sucks arse.
The only real argument against DS is having to get kids ready for school in the dark, and that only applies when you are quite far north in autumn.
I love daylight savings in the summer. It means I can get up a sensible time and still go for a run/ride before it gets too hot in the summer, and then after work its still light enough to go for a swim at the beach. Just gravy.
DLS absolutely ruins my sleep. Sun goes down at close to 9 at the height of it.
im going to queensland tomorrow, making it even harder, plus I forgot today, so my watch (that syncs automatically) went off at 5am (non dst), I turned it off thinking it was wrong, and didn't wake up till 7am (dst).
Get rid of it, but have the sunset at 7:30-ish.
Love DST. It would be easier if the earth had a circular orbit, but at least we have a way to take advantage of the elliptical orbit
The problem with that question is if you asked me which phase it should be stuck in I'd say I don't actually know.
It makes sense but the way we handle it sucks, I wish there was a universal standard that worked seamlessly.
I agree although it would majorly suck when most of the workforce would need to get up in the dark in winter. Am I getting that right? If I'm wrong then I'm definitely all for it.
[The EU were planning to change to have DST all year round](https://www.timeanddate.com/time/europe/eu-dst.html), but you know, war, Covid, & Brexit have stalled those plans.
I'd happily have it all year round. And you don't get extra sunlight you get the same amount regardless of what your clock says. Daylight savings just means you can enjoy it after work.
Hahaha, yeah that would be brilliant for those in Perth if we adopted EST, people that start work at 5:30am would love us 🤣🤣
I'm sure the kids will love getting to school in dark
Yeah, pretty much. An hour more daylight at the end of the day means the sun comes up an hour later in the morning.
My bet is that the majority of th wokforce gets up in the dark in winter as it is.
How can AAMI, an insurance company, complete repairs? They can authorize a builder to commence repairs but unless the builder is available, the insurer can't do anything other than offer a cash settlement. I wonder if OP has sourced any contractor quotes themselves to effect repairs, and if so, why they aren't demanding settlement on the basis of those quotes to engage their own builders
Currently renting (moved in Aug 5) and turns out water bill goes to LL (no problem). Only thing is, they sent us the water invoice and original water bill for consumption period: 15/05/2022 - 21/08/2022. Water access charge is paid off by LL but the consumption charge is $28.47. We are only two people, it it normal to use 28.47 of water in 16 days in NSW? How do they decide who used and how much, I know for a fact we moved in a week after previous tenants left.
Thank you!
I ran the numbers on my most recent water bill and we’re at $21.69 for 16 days (urban area in a rural/regional LGA). So depending on where you are and therefore your cost per kl, I’d say it’s on the high side but not completely out of the ballpark.
Im not sure how much water everyone uses or the charges for water usage in their area, but I live in a rural town by myself and my total water bill for the last quarter was $36...
Anybody ever thought of FLOATING HOUSES?
I ain’t no engineer but seems to me these floodings we know are inevitable could be mitigated if things went with the waterline 🤷‍
Just #floating an idea
How do you test the floatation of a house just before the floods?
You don’t. But trial and error will find solutions
Besides it would be the same way you imagine any concept then engineer a solution for that problem.
Industrialisation accounts for many astonishing resolutions… some things we’ve built would only have been imagined if that only 10yrs ago 🤔
Hi All, me (38M) and wife (40F) are going through separation after 9years of marriage. I bought 3 bedroom apartment 1 year before marriage and moved out from the apartment for about 4 months now. I have told her about my decision to go our own way but she still couldn't accept the reality and would like to work on it together.
While sorting out the different goals that we have, I would like her to move out of the apartment so I can sell/rent out the apartment as I'm currently paying both the mortgage as well as rent for my own place. I've told her about my financial burden and would like for the apartment to be emptied before Xmas (more than 2 months away) but she doesn't agree. Can anyone share what options do I have and how I can communicate nicely to her before going into legal path? Thanks in advance
Im pretty sure that you cant just kick her out, Yes you bought the apartment before you got married and legally speaking it belongs to you but it is also her home and has been for 9 years.
According to what I've read online ownership isn’t relevant. No matter who owns the home it will still form part of the property pool as an initial contribution to the marriage, and your ex could be entitled to a percentage of it in the event of separation.
You will need to speak to a lawyer I think to get proper advice.
[deleted]
it's her house too
Yeah, if you've been married for that long (or even co-habiting) then all of your assets are joint assets. She is entitled to half the house, or half the value if you sell it. That's one of the joys of marriage.
You're in for a wild and expensive lawyer ride. You've co-habitated for over a year (apart from being married) so unless you have pre nup then the baseline is 50:50 asset split. Then you need to work out who contributed what to the relationship. You say she paid rent- do you have that on a tenancy agreement or was it just domestic cost splitting- I pay mortgage, you pay bills and dinners out?
If it's any small help, your rental costs now also come out of your joint assets so make sure you're paying them from joint funds/credit cards.
And FFS- get a lawyer.
Get a lawyer real quick cause you could lose everything
Thankfully you can't. Lawyer up.
Just say leave my apartment , I am Covid positive .
Even ignoring ownership, she'd be a tenant that would require notice, etc. before eviction.
Also, we manage our own financial so never have any shared accounts and she has been paying rent (albeit below market rate). Does it matter?
If she has been paying rent, she paid off the mortgage. It's hers.
you make your wife pay rent?
Ozbargain is leaking.
Bahaha.havent heard this one before.
Well, we are very financially independent couple and she's happy to pay rent without having to commit to any long term loans so I'm taking all the risk for loan. Also I pay mostly for all expenses and when we dine out. So she only pays for reduced rent.
As 9 year marriages go, there appears to be something amiss.
Yup it's been an issue that we are trying to solve for some time. But at the end, I'm feeling too tired
6 ayes, 29 noes
I hope this costs them at the election, fanatically ignorant religious whackos won the day...
FFS
Well… yeah. Of course.
Honestly was a very hard video to watch, these things are happening right under our noses. Ignoring the legal implications, the absolute blatant disregard for the environment by the individuals carrying out this work, is fucking unfathomable.
It seems so obvious to the average person with eyes and a few brain cells rattling around upstairs, not to go out and tear through pristine, biodiverse rainforest for the sake of it. What kind of fucking brain dead Neanderthals are operating their machinery? 🤦‍
Probably same street that partially floods every time it rains now, Bourke Road.
A very different australia back then.awesome pic.
see, nothing changes....cool old pic
All for Silas……hehehehe…..all for Silas!
Came here for this. Nothing seems to have changed on Bourke or O’Riordan streets
Forestry NSW are the loosest c#nts out. Im glad Mark and his team are getting amongst it. CONVERT THE LIBERALS! KOALA SANCTUARY 4 NSW.
Amazing video, I respect Mr Friendly for finding all of this information
You guys need to hire muscled up security dudes. I doubt they'd fuck with you if you had guys that can put people to sleep with their arms.
NSW is basically a third world country clinging on- with many slowly losing their wealth and meansto well being.
$362 ($481 in a school zone) plus 5 demerit points each time (worse for double demerit weekends)
You get 13 demerit points and 3 years to get back the points you lose. 10 points in one day only leaves you with 3 points for 3 years. One mistake and no licence. I'd say he's right to be concerned.
Lucky it’s not Qld. Over $1000 per offence here…
its deadly dangerous using a phone while driving..many people die using mobile phones
You're permitted 13 demerit points. This twit is one speeding ticket away from getting their licence suspended for 3 months.
I think phone use while driving should be a fine and immediate suspension. No excuse for it
The fines are fucked in australia for anything to do with driving. And unless you live in a major city thre public transport is fucking abysmal and full of bogans n tweakers
Well when everyone starts following the rules, they need to come up with new ways to criminalise regular people easier. It's a business and we are the cattle.
[deleted]
The fines are high but there are still people who kill others and themselves because they are on the phone in their hand or texting. If the fines save one innocent life they are worth it
Solution is very simple. Don't drive with your phone in your hand or on your lap. Pull over to make or take calls or text.
