I think it easy for year twelve. Supposed to be tough. Only a couple of tough questions but they just take a bit of maths.
Thanks.
Hm… it’s fairly straightforward for most of the questions…i would use algebra to work out the coefficient for the last question but i am less confident with this approach.
This article comes out every single year.
Damn. I got suckered into responding.
I applied for a NSW government job of which the job ad said "Multiple Full-Time - Ongoing role opportunities", however today got a call saying I got an 12-month contract and it's for covering someone's maternity leave.
This role was kind of my dream job and if it were "ongoing" I'd say yes in a heartbeat. But now that it's only a 12-month contract, it makes the decision much harder, since I currently have a permanent role at a big corporation which is very secure (the job content is boring and not much career progerssion though, hence me applying for other jobs...).
Just wondering if anyone with relevant experience could shed some light on why on earth would they give me a 12-month contract while the ad was for ongoing roles?? (If the ad said 12 month I probaly wouldn't have applied and gone through their very lengthy process!)
Also now I'm really torn on whether I should take the 12 month, so any advice on my next steps would be great. Thanks.
my experiences many years ago is the FT jobs are filled by contractors and other roles (ie maternity backfill), and everyone moves up.
>(If the ad said 12 month I probaly wouldn't have applied and gone through their very lengthy process!)
This is why many people dont bother with government jobs. You're lucky there is even a legitimate job for the general public.
hey guys, I know this is a long shot, but I want to recreate this photo for my parents but I want it to be a surprise so I’m not going to ask them where it was taken. I was wondering if anyone recognises this beach? I know it’s a long shot, but I’m doing everything at this point. Photo was taken about 15/20 years ago. I have a slight feeling is on the south coast.
Think this is Gerringong Beach near the Rockpool (south end looking north). The hill in the background looks like the hill Dovecote is now on.
If you click on the ‘Werri Beach’ icon (not suburb) in google maps one of the first photos looks very similar
I think it looks like Shelley beach in Gerroa. Look at the image on Google maps[https://maps.app.goo.gl/4CaGSdBc67U3Nb3TA](https://maps.app.goo.gl/4CaGSdBc67U3Nb3TA)
I do agree it looks like the Illawarra coastline.
Looks like gerringong to me.
thanks for your help guys really appreciate it! now on the hunt to find good old y2k swimwear
I agree with an earlier poster, it looks like the rock shelf at the southern end of Werri Beach. Just near the rock pool. I grew up there.
It's behind the girl
I would say even if you ask them where this is, you could still surprise them...
Looks a little like Austinmer? Or maybe one of the surrounding suburbs.
You could probably get the effect you want on r/photoshop if you can’t find the exact spot. Someone there will be able to sort it
Could be anywhere man. There’s over 2,000km of coastline in NSW, it looks like a very generic rock platform. Has south coast vibes to me.
Do you have any other photos from the same holiday that might help narrow down where you were?
Mollymook?
Definitely looks like South Werri
this could possibly be it, thank you so much!
Plenty look like th8s but the hill in the background is the standout feature.
🤯
unfortunately not, this one photo has been hanging up in the living room for the past 15 or so years :(
If this is the biggest battle in your life i think we are doing pretty well as a society.
It's autumn, other trees drop leaves too.
The paper mill built around those deciduous trees employs almost a quarter of the population of the town. So I'd say they are pretty relevant.
No, because they’re here now and autumn leaves are a great reason to visit.
But some deciduous trees are natives, so there’s no point in changing
Festival of the topless busty women with a amazing sense of humour fest???
It’s a festival that celebrates Tumut, which has a shit load of deciduous trees. It’s known for it, and people visit just to see the changing colours.
The Falling Lead Festival isn’t “pro non-native species”, it’s pro Tumut.
I live in Tumut and Autumn is bloody beautiful.
Also, deciduous trees are great. They provide shade during summer and let the sun in during winter. This saves on heating and cooling. Plus they aren’t actively trying to contribute to burning your house down like half of the native species.
It’s not autumn, weirdo. Look outside - unless you’re in the wrong hemisphere to be commenting.
Bruh what it's spring get back to the northern hemisphere my man

Yeah it’s not autumn now, which is the most obvious interpretation of your sentence, particularly on a global platform.
Heartbreaking, but thank you for sharing.
Not really necessary to focus on the tissues twice. They could have been from food or mess or cleaning his pipes or who knows.
Why didn’t they focus on any other useless info.
A low point on an otherwise lovely read into a man who I loved to read about. Needlessly humiliated by implication he was a wacking it. like everyone fucking does
Another reminder that when I feel like going I should throw everything I own away and then do it out in the bush where no one will ever find me.
I thought the tissues were implying he had covid.
Thats my plan...
Road was 70km/hr , my car speedometre was clocking around 78-84. I hit this long strecth of road and I see the cop on side of the road holding the radar/lidar but didn't flag me down. A car that was tailgating me for a good 3-4km got flagged down (I can see via my rear mirrow window).
Am i safe as I didn't get flag/pull over or should i expect a fine through the mail/service nsw app?
Should be safe, didn’t get pulled over or flagged down.
Nope. If it's highway patrol with the hair dryer, they need to pull you over to issue a fine - which was the case for the car behind you.
Speed/mobile cameras are a different story however.
You just have to wait a month or so. They might. Or the cop might cancel it on the spot because they saw you were being harassed on the road.
I think highway will usually give a 10% leniency, but you probably we’re actually only doing low 70’s. Download a speedometer app or waze and compare the speed to your what your car says, in my experience cars usually are about 10% slower then what the speedo says.
You're safe, and lucky the cop pulled over the other guy!
very very lucky
Also have to give a 2km/h leeway on top of most car speedos are out by 6-10%.
So I just had to renew my greenslip, they now require you to give them permission to check demerit points with Service NSW
Normally I get a greenslip through QBE, if you have 0 demerit points my price was $730, with 1 demerit point its $1150
So if you get 1 point on your license, depending on dates etc you are looking at an extra $400 bucks per year for 2 - 4 renewals of rego
So basically 1 point is going to cost you an extra $1200 over the coming years.
Seems a bit harsh, as someone who has driven 1 million kms over the past 5 years, and recieved only 3 points in fines I thought that was pretty good. But nope, pay the money
The thing about greenslips that really shits me the most is the way that your address affects your premiums. I can understand it with comprehensive insurance because if you live in a dodgy area or park on the street your car would have a higher chance of being stolen or damaged. But why does the fact that I live somewhere where other people may be shit drivers affect the chances of me crashing and injuring another person? I have a spotless driving record (licence for 38 years, never had a single ticket or demerits or any insurance claim in that time) but when I changed address my greenslip suddenly cost more. What is the correlation between your address and the chance of you injuring a third party?
> as someone who has driven 1 million kms over the past 5 years, and recieved only 3 points in fines
I know you're pissed off, but if you were an insurer, you'd consider yourself higher risk than someone who does 5k/year and has no points.
tbh the fact insurers can ask your age/gender should be illegal.
Get a quote with another insurance company?
There's no reason you have to be loyal.

I got a parking fine for parking in a disabled spot with an expired permit. Was dropping off a disabled relative at the time.
Long story short, they wouldn't waive the fine even though I had a new form in the application process, and I got stung with $600 plus 1 point.
My licence renewal discount is gone, my car insurance renewal is now higher, and my greenslip has gone up by about 35% such bullshit from an honest oversight
Have considered merely not committing crimes at all?
Far out, didn’t know this existed. If you want to look at it as a win, because who doesn’t like a win, with the KMs you are doing, you are probably getting a much cheaper per a Km rate than everyone else. Win win? 🤷‍
Not to be the bad guy but unfortunately this has been a thing for awhile they just relied on you putting in the information instead of finding out for you. I'd say if you didn't have your demerit points listed before and had an accident they could use that to get out of paying. I had my greenslip finally go back down last year from having 3 demerits the years prior.
Ah yes, I remember the days before greenslips, when the cost was built into your registration.....I clearly remember the promise of cheaper rego when the greenslip system was brought in.....who'd thought those pricks were lying!?
CTP should only be required if you don't have comprehensive insurance.
The whole scheme is a joke.
Lots of people in bkacktown throeing themselves in front of cars for compo....
But seriously, yeah I agree 100%, its a compulsory insurance, so we should all just pay the same amount.
> But why does the fact that I live somewhere where other people may be shit drivers affect the chances of me crashing and injuring another person?
If theres an area known for shit drivers, if you live in that area, isnt there a good chance you could also be a shit driver? Not being smart, just looking at this statistically.

>What is the correlation between your address and the chance of you injuring a third party?
Probably quite high tbh. Lets say hypothetically 5% of all car accidents have a personal injury claim. If your suburb had twice the number of accidents (per capita), your premium would be higher.
To be fair 1 point is one instance of doing 83km/h in an 80 zone.
Not really, I do less than 1000km in my ute a year, the 200k I do is in my truck so a different insurer.
And this has nothing to do with how much I drive, if you have 1 point on your license your greenslip goes up by near 50%
They all do it, its a new thing, not sure if its been brought in by the NSW government or not.
