A far more effective use of the available space would be high density housing, open green spaces.
We just have to figure out a way to get some "local pride" happening, so the green spaces remain green and not rubbish dumps covered in tags.
Haven't read the article, but is there a distinction of public transport? Like is a suburban bus stop 2km away from a train station "public transport", or are they intending it to be train stations/pt hubs
What's wrong with 30 storey apartments on top of train stations? They are efficient and effective, the people living there are more likely to not own cars.
I really don't understand why Australians so scared of heights. One tower means 6 less low rises spread out around it with parking, garbage bins and associated traffic issues.
High rises over-provision their own parking, low rises rarely have enough.
What is the exact problem again? And please don't say "it's ugly" because that's a ridiculous excuse.
The exact wording from the minister was "within 800m of a transport hub or a town centre." So I think that suburban bus stops won't count based on that, but perhaps a major interchange with very frequent service would, like a stop along core busways.
Everything in context. Most suburbs are much better off will European style medium density, such as 5-6 storey apartments which don't tower over the rest of the suburb. Highrise buildings have their place but not everywhere and it's not ridiculous to be selective with zoning.
> which don't tower over the rest of the suburb
What does this mean? I get that shadowing is an issue for buildings 30m away, but when we have 47 degree heatwaves in the western suburbs covered with black roofs, you definitely will want a bit of shadowing.
You say words like "towering over" as though it affects an entire suburb when it affects basically no one in that suburb. This is point I'm trying to make, Australians are terrified of heights and use emotive language like this rather than logic to explain why they are opposed to high rises. The real question here is why does it scare you so much?
"Towering over a suburb" is not a reason, it's an appeal to emotion lacking any substance.
fuck sovcits hey
But... wouldn't this make more money in court fees than removing speed trap warning signs?
tbh I actually get the ex-magistrates point (although the article should be balanced).
I dont mind a blog sharing their opinion, but it crosses another line when you charge for giving bad legal advice.
They don’t want to contribute but they use the roads.so called sovereign citizens are deluded, self centred, fuckwits subscribing to amerikkkn bullshit.
What your thoughts on the Aboriginal Sovereignty Movement?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Indigenous_sovereignty
Court fees are usually $100-150 from memory, which is nothing compared to the other charges - unlicenced driving [never licensed] start at $899.
If the government REALLY wanted to make money, they'd remove the speed trap warning signs, and set up automatic cameras at the stop sign near my house. (rather than using a bright orange hwp car). They would wipe out the states debt in a day.
That has absolutely zero connection to the Soverign Citizen nonsense which at the end of the day just wastes court time and possibly harms any case that the person might have originally had.

Hi all,
My partner and I just received news that our landlord wants to end our 12month fixed term tenancy agreement 5 months early so they can start a renovation. I think they received development approval today, and the process was faster than they anticipated. So they signed a 12 month lease with just under 3 months ago, then gave us 3 months notice today.
In the standard residential tenancy agreement that we signed, it looks like they can’t force us to leave/end the agreement just to start a renovation (not related to urgent repairs, the house is completely habitable). We would like to help them however we are going away for a couple of months and have organised subletters (which the landlord approved) who are moving in to our place this Sunday. So we can’t even come back early to start looking for a new place. This leaves us with just 1 month to find somewhere after we get back in early Feb, + on top of that I am starting a new job mid-Feb that will involve a lot of long hours.
The rental market has also become a lot more expensive since we signed the agreement, so we would need to pay a lot more than we are paying now to get anything anywhere near as good. Plus we have a dog and my partner works from home full time, so having a pet friendly place that is conducive to WFH full time is an important requirement for us. All of these factors mean finding a new place that is suitable in the timeframe the landlord wants will be very difficult for us (possibly impossible!).
Can someone please help by telling us what our rights are in this instance?
They are shit outta luck and will have to wait until the end of the fixed lease. The two reasons they can terminate it early are breach from your side or if the property is unlivable and only via a tribunal.
check out https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/housing-and-property/renting/ending-a-tenancy, fair trading will give you the best answers to this sort of thing and they are really helpful if you speak to them
This.
Unfortunately, from a practical point of view, your lease is not going to be renewed at the end of the 12 months. I would try to make an agreement with the landlord that you will be able to move out when you have found something comparable and start looking for something else as soon as you get back.
Plus they should really also pay you compensation for the extra expenses, like moving and the difference in rent.
Of course, you have every right to stay until the end of the lease, if that is your choice.
tough luck to them
Who are these people? You can point them to a little annoying thing called the Tenancy Act if they push any points.
Thanks a lot everyone, this has given us a lot of peace of mind. I’ve emailed the PM to highlight the termination notice is invalid since it falls before the end of our fixed term + that leaving on such short notice is infeasible for us… still waiting to hear back! Will keep you updated with news on how this unfolds
Where might one rent a swag and bags for a week long trip?

Hey there,
I recently completed a software engineering internship at a start up and learnt during my time there that sales might be the most important skillset a person can possess. Because of this, I am now actively trying to get a sales position as an SDR or BDR at a tech company. I know that the jobs for tech is horrendous at the moment, however, for the past 2 weeks, I've been applying on Seek, Indeed and LinkedIn.
I've reached out to both recruiters/hiring managers and people currently in a sales role on LinkedIn to express my interest in job positions and ask for resume reviews. I've even gone as far as to call up some companies and ask to speak to hiring managers for open roles. So far, I haven't had much luck
I am sure that there people already in tech sales on this subreddit, and I would really appreciate some insight into the current climate of tech/tech sales at the moment and may share some tips about getting into the industry.
Thanks
Bit of a long shot but I was wondering if anyone had any local knowledge or more info on this crime [https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/crime/utterly-devastating-heartbroken-mother-makes-desperate-plea-after-learning-10yo-daughters-killer-set-to-enjoy-day-trip/news-story/e3786e7802808898016ba2ecf323fe33](https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/crime/utterly-devastating-heartbroken-mother-makes-desperate-plea-after-learning-10yo-daughters-killer-set-to-enjoy-day-trip/news-story/e3786e7802808898016ba2ecf323fe33)
10yo was staying with family on their farm for school holidays. 14yo cousin is terribly unwell. 14yo slits throat of 10yo and carves words into her body.
how awful. thank you for responding.
Another article said “However, he has since been located.”
https://7news.com.au/news/young-boy-goes-missing-after-catching-bus-in-tregear-in-sydneys-west-c-12814811
I can’t find any more details about where or when he was found.
Yeah I saw that too, unusually vague but good news nonetheless
My cousins and I are talking about having a road trip from QLD to NSW to see snow for the first time irl.
I've googled areas. Personally I don't want to ski because I am the type to break my leg or arm when doing things e.g motorbike crashes, falling off things, being hit by something, chased by animals, etc. I'm like the person that would somehow hit the only tree in a field.
The places I've google strongly empathise on skiing. I'm not sure if the cousins want to ski either. Basically I want to go somewhere for a few days, see the snow, then peace out back to QLD.
I think Jindabyne is the best, as there is alot of accomodation options and you can get into the vibe of the snow without needing to actually ski, like go to the bars with the lodge vibes and the big fires. Even the caravan park has an elaborate hot baths/saunas setup.
Hike Mount Kosciuszko in late October, you will see hard snow patches along the way. If you want to see fresh snow then maybe check weather forecasts and stay in the town that snows for a day or two.
Depending on how much notice/planning you need, you can watch the forecasts for places like Orange and Oberon and head there when they're expecting snow. They're much cheaper and less crowded than the Snowy Mountains in winter.
Stay at Jindabyne. You probably won’t get snow there but it is close and gives options. Maybe take the ski tube to Blue cow so you don’t need chains
Wrong time of year.. there might be a few patches on the walk to kozi still though.
If you wait till late autumn or winter then somewhere like Guthega is really pretty.
Corin Forest is a good alternative if you just want to do snow play. It's close to Canberra and you can have a Canberra holiday which has a lot of things to do and see + 40 min drive to Corin Forest for "snow play".
It won't be natural snow, but it's still the real snow, albeit created by snow cannons.
Have a look on their website. Driving to the Snowy Mountain \just\ to see the snow, IMHO, is a waste of time and money.
Allow yourself enough time to drive safely. Road trips are awesome. Also, Canberra is a hot spot at that time of year for cops to book anyone and everyone travelling to the snow.
It really depends on the weather and winter is generally the easiest time to go looking. Plenty of places in SE Qld have had snow in the past. Stanthorpe seems to score it regularly.
Then it is a matter of going south along the Great Dividing Range and looking.
On my first bushwalk on Barrington Tops, we ended up walking in snow in January.
If all else fails, the known ski resorts can sometimes have snow patches.
Right now, Japan.
Consider Hotham. From QLD NSW fields are a trek but NZ is much closer and more affordable overall
Nice, when is the right team to see snow there?
Thank you, I would prefer a less bustling area.
We are aiming for winter in the new year.
Thank you though.
As its right near the snowfields (a little lower in elevation though), you are quite safe aligning it with when there is snow coverage at thredbo.
Depends what you want to do also.
Do you want to hike through snow covered areas or just see snow for half a day and then have a holiday at a share house for a few days?
If you stay in Jindabyne, ~~Berry~~ Berridale, or Cooma then you’ll have a small town vibe holiday. It’ll snow in all three of these places. You could even stay in Canberra and do a half-day trip to a random paddock or bushland area and experience the snow. Then go back to Canberra for the rest of the trip.
If it doesn’t snow then you’re only a short drive from the actual snowfields where you can just spend half a day (not skiing or anything).
If it snows at the place you’re staying then you can literally go in the backyard and play in the snow.
Oh, that makes more sense :)
Thredbo has a great village atmosphere and has bands and night life. You can get a cheap lift pass to the top to have a look around if you aren’t skiing/boarding. You could also do a snow hike out to kozi if that’s your thing.
Perisher doesn’t have a whole lot down the bottom to do although there are large areas to do snow play stuff, toboggan etc.
Guthega is really pretty and looks toward some wild back country although it’s pretty much just a couple of buildings aside from that.
If you have any interest I’d say hire some skis or snowboards and get a lesson, it’s a lot of fun.. but actually it might be better not to as if it hooks you it’s not a cheap hobby.
In late Autumn to early spring the road between Adaminaby to Kiandara in the Snowy Mtns is usually good for sightseeing but in recent years the snow can be very patchy or non existent, check before you travel
Berry?
I meant Berridale! Brain fart.
Can I get into a pub to eat dinner under 18, and if not do I have to be accompanied by my parent or can my mate (who is 18) walk in with me?
You need to be accompanied by a Responsible Adult. This means a parent or guardian. It doesn't have to be a legal guardian, but like an Aunty or your Girlfriends dad. Your 18-year-old mate is certainly not it.

I thought it was you could go to the bistro areas unsupervised, but couldn't go near the bars, smoking or gambling areas.
Spot on. A co-worker could count, a mate who graduated HS last year won't cut it.
Furthermore, you may not approach the bar or gaming areas, and no-one may procure alcohol on your behalf.
Thanks
