He already does. But I guess it has its own "bragging rights" in class.
Good thinking
good on you. the teacher might not want to have the pen because it undermines the pen licencensing system. but eh.
Thanks in advance!
I have before. Making sure it was fully covering anything that could accidentally scan on the old label.
Yes. Just make sure you cover, remove, or use a permanent marker to ‘void’ any other barcodes on the box/package.
Yes, that is totally fine. No need to create more waste by buying a new box/bag every time. Just make sure you cover or black out any old shipping info.
I've even been known to turn aus post satchels inside out and re-use. They just look like black plastic that way.
Yes, a lot of companies are now shipping in bags that can be opened and resealed if you need to return the product. Just print the return label and slap it over the old one, or they may send you a barcode that lets the post office print a label for you when you drop it off.
if you are worried, get an artline and put a line through the barcode.
Not horizontal
Yes, I have. Considering the cost of packaging is getting really expensive.
The only things you can't reuse would be the prepaid red satchels and Express Post stuff.
Boxes, yes, you can. Just as long as everything, including barcodes is covered. And I use a black marker to try and cover all this before putting on a new label.
Created a little video at Gundagai, hope it’s of interest!
I can't seem to find an answer and hope that someone has had experience.
I have the usual black on yellow rego plates (3 alpha with 3 numerals) on my car which are damaged. I'd like to replace them with the same rego but new plates (again with black on yellow - no changes such as special colours, etc).
When I had them done, I paid a one-off fee to have them made but no yearly fees as they were considered standard plates. I realise I will have to pay a one fee now to replace them, but will Service NSW now charge me a yearly fee for them because it is a special request (and they now tend to charge whenever possible)?
Many thanks.

Fantastic, thanks so much for your help. Our power has just gone off, so I will have a read tomorrow.
Fantastic thanks so much. I've had mine for over 35 years and are personalised too. Mine have gone through one car write off and a couple of nose to tail bingles and Dad has even panel beaten one straight again.
Thanks for the colour change info. I've been thinking of changing the colour but the MyPlates said it was a yearly charge. That maybe for new plates.
Appreciate your time.
What’s the best places to go too or online for old/used vinyls? Thanks in advance
Try your local tip, mine has a recycling centre and you can pay for old stuff
Head down to newtown, plenty of thrift stores and record shops around
Where abouts are you?
Beat Disc is a solid choice if you're anywhere near Parramatta.
Red Eye in the city has a huge range but can be on the pricey side.
I’m in the Illawarra region but anywhere in the NSW is great. Gives me a reason to road trip haha.
Thanks legend
Shellharbour or Wollongong tip, both you can buy old stuff at their recycling centres
Hi. I need help. I'm looking for a memoir writer in Sydney. Ideally a female writer who can speak Hindi. Can you recommend someone? Thank you.
The best day to ban mobile phones from all schools was twenty years ago. The second best day is today.
We had this ban since the start of the school year.
20 years ago "detention if we see it in school hours".
Worked very well
My child had to repeat 4th class playing too much Snake in 2003.
My HS banned it 20 years ago, it made perfect sense when all they had was SMS and Snake, now it's like... obvious?
That being said they've got laptops these days, is there really any difference? (How locked down are they?)
Is this actually true? Genuinely curious.
Yeah nah.. laughing at OP thinking they should've been banned 20 years ago when barely anyone had a mobile and they did fuck all compared to now.
Came across a video about the guy that took RMS to court about his Sydney tolls and the case and fines were dismissed. Is this legit? And where does it say this in the constitution?
If you had the name of the party you could look up the court outcome. As for it being unconstitutional, it sounds like another cooker who claims they beat the system and that it's against the constitution but it would've been some technicality that forced the judges hand. If it was unconstitutional the constitutional lawyers would be having a field day and tolls would be a thing of the past.
This is another crock of shit post that basic knowledge would have shown is false.
Road tolls are a state thing and the Australian constitution says bugger all about them.
The only thing the Australian constitution says is that no state can charge a tariff on interstate goods.
Also, tolls roads have been a thing in NSW since the invasion/settlement. A lot of early ferries were funded that way.
Not true
https://www.aap.com.au/factcheck/bell-tolls-for-nonsense-coins-of-the-realm-claim/
Yeah it's just the vibe
Tolls have been operating in the UK since 1663. given they wrote the constitution, I can confidently say they wouldn't explicitly ban it.
That’s why I’m fact checking this video here and elsewhere as it’s revolutionary if true and indeed if so why has no one said anything about this before
Indeed, it sounded too good but it was the first time I saw it, I’m not versed in those laws which is why I wanted to check in case
I think his point was more along the lines of the cost of those roads were already taken via other forms of taxes, fines, license fees, car rego etc.
And that NSW Government cannot collect taxes already collected by the Federal Government
It's not true and if it was whatever loophole he used will be closed very quickly.
Same as the sovereign citizens who claim they don't have to pay taxes, rego etc because it's unconstitutional, yet none of them have ever won anything in court on that defence.
Even if it was true, it would be quickly shut down with new laws.
Looking for these silly loop holes is just a waste of time
You understand "revolutionary" would mean current society being shut down, sounds cool until you realise everything is connected and you're now living in a 3rd world country
Why do you think cookers don't make this stuff up?
Whatever - it does not fly. Tolls are not illegal (sadly)
What about his claim that fines were waived etc. based on what he told them about the cost and that those roads were paid for already therefore tolls should no longer be in effect, any merit to that?
It’s a shame really, was hoping we get a break for a change
I AM TRAVELLING
Unfortunately so, I think the main issue seems to come from the fact that private companies are involved in operating the toll roads which answers the question of why it’s so high and keeps rising
None at all. The contracts the toll companies have with the government will be iron clad. Some cooker on YouTube may have had their fines waived by the court but it wasn't because it was unconstitutional.
You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?
In a boat perchance?
>fact that private companies are involved in operating the toll
Relevance?
>which answers the question of why it’s so high
Actually private companies generally run more efficient than public sector.
That makes sense, wonder what the catch/loophole was
Was hoping there’s some truth to it, but had strong doubts as I’ve never heard this mentioned anywhere before, so hence why I’m checking here and a few places
If it were publicly operated tolls would be lower, and/or not increase in the same rate as a private company would. Private companies do run more efficiently but do this for their own benefit, profits, shareholders etc. a publicly operated entity would be running it for the benefit of the people, public hospitals for example
Mental deficiency.
Yet, the government outsources a huge number of internal jobs and tenders. Both of which it could easily do itself.
Most likely, or like someone said clout
Unfortunately so
I was going through a school zone and I think I was going a few ks over? I'm not actually sure because I wasn't speeding when I realised the car behind me was flashing his red and blue at me.
I didn't pull over immediately because there was nowhere to pull over so I went around the corner where I knew there was a car park. Pulled into car park. He followed me in so it was def me he was pulling over.
Car park was busy so I drove to the end where it's quieter but by the time I got there he was gone.
Would I get fined for not stopping? I did try to. I've never been pulled over before so I was panicking a bit.
How long would it take for a fine to come up on service nsw?
Probably find you'll be right. If they didn't issue one to you on the spot they probably got called away and didn't bother.
You won't get a fine, you just got very lucky. They must have left because they got called over to a much more urgent matter than someone going a few km's over the speed limit.
You won't get fined for not stopping either, you were trying to park somewhere safe and if it came down to it, you would win that case in court.
Drive extremely safe in school zones! Always, always, always under 40km's! Kids are so unpredictable and a lot of them have absolutely no sense of road safety and the true dangers of it. I work around 3 different school zones and I couldn't even tell you how many times I've seen people almost clean some 11 year old up because neither of then were paying attention to the road.
Be safe my friend, all the best.
When I've been fined by speed cameras it comes through on the app within 48 hours. I reckon you'll be okay though
What car was it? Highway patrol (BMW/Ford/Chrysler) or a small Hyundai / Van / Paddy wagon?
Ur fine, unless you got pulled over you have nothing to worry about.
Yep, Police must issue the ticket at the time by pulling you over.
Thankyou, I hope you are right
>Kids are so unpredictable and a lot of them have absolutely no sense of road safety and the true dangers of it.
I've just spent the past 15 or so years doing school drop off and pick ups, it's the parents who you need to be aware of, the parents have no concept of road safety. And the sad thing is, they're dragging their kids behind them, so the kids are learning it's ok to step out in front of moving traffic.
