Amazing write up thanks, this really helps.
2 million chickens a week????? Woah.
A great summary. Now I want to go visit Griffith.
When you say months long wait for childcare how long are you talking? More than 6 months?
It’s 12 months+ in our current location although we have a spot that we would be giving up to move.
Yes 4 hours is close when your used to 7 hours to get Adelaide.
Yeah the chicken business is called Baiada chicken (Steggles). I did not realise just how much chicken meat Australians eat per year.
Apparently we eat way more chicken than all the other meats combined. Not a real surprise given its cheap cost , versatility and taste.
The chicken sheds are spread out, for many kilometres (hours), around Griffith to avoid disease spreading (if it occurred).
Baiada can produce 1 to 2 million chickens per week! Amazing.
There are Murray Cod farms in Griffith too and a huge explosion of nut farms (big big money!)
Depends on the centre and time of year. I know people that have put their child on the list in very early pregnancy and we're still waiting for a spot at the 6 month old mark. I know others that have managed to sneak into a spot very quickly when a child has left a centre. It might be worth ringing around to a few and asking their wait times.
Hi,
​
There's the classic beginner cheap year lockins for gyms. And this year I am quite tempted. Looking at getting a membership at either:
George Street Fitness First Platinum
\- Costs $44 weekly
\- Has a pool
\- Has laundry services
\- More gyms across Sydney
\- Tons of classes
\- Tons of machines
​
Mid City Virgin Active
\- Costs $24 weekly
\- Has a pool
\- Tons of classes
\- Tons of machines
​
I was hoping to gain some insight on the best financial decision in terms of the two gyms for those sydney goesr. Any thoughts?
Just save the $20 per week
Are you sure about those prices? Cause I pay $21 pw at FF Bond St and was paying in the $40s at Virgin before I defected…
But Virgin also has a towel service (it $4 pw from memory)
If classes are important, the classes at Virgin are FAR superior to FF.
Virgin active has a 50% discount for January and Fitness First has a 30%.
I was looking at FF black which includes the laundry service. Would be a lot cheaper without it probably $26 which is a more fair comparison.
But I’m more so wanting the pool as well
Then I’d go with Virgin. Cheaper. Pool. And you can still get your towels from them.
Hey there, just wondering what everyone’s experience with fines is, how long do they take to show up on the service NSW app?
Exchanged contract on acreage in NSW
We extended the subject to finance clause 3 times
The current status of our sale is that the purchaser submitted in writing to our conveyancer on the that the purchaser would like to act on a purchase to finance clause in the contract based on the purchaser being unable to obtain finance. As such, terminate the contract.
At present the vendor has rejected this request due to the lack of evidence supplied by the purchaser that the subject to finance clause has been fully complied with.
Our current position is that the contract is on foot and proceeding to settlement
We are requesting proof that finance has been rejected and question the validity of this in best endeavours to get finance as per the details in the clause...
As a vendor can I keep pushing.... It really sounds like they have changed their minds which to our understanding is not allowed on subject to finance.
Do the train guards actually have the authority to fine you? What if you just reject it? Surely they wont call the cops for something as small as that??
The “guards” on the train who control the doors and make the announcements don’t issue fines.
The transit officers who patrol the trains absolutely have the authority to fine you, and they will work with police and other train employees to stop you evading them should they be aware of you attempting it.
What did you do?
Train guards work the trains. Transit officers issue fines. If you give them your ID they are authorised to fine you.
If you don’t give them ID they can try to retain you u til police arrive but if you leave they can’t stop you.
But if you’re still there when the police arrive all bets are off. You’re getting fined and maybe even arrested.
tell us what happened
just run, thats your best bet
They didn’t tap on
Straight to gaol.
Undercook chicken.....gaol.
Beef wellington? Also gaol.
A few weeks ago, I was looking into choosing my own two alpha, two numeral, two alpha standard black on yellow number plate. The Service NSW says I will be charged a yearly fee for this as they reckon it's a personalised plate. Is this correct, or is a standard response?
Has anyone else done this and not paid the yearly fee?
Many thanks.
\- i want my own number plate that i choose
\- i don't want to pay anything
​
.... choose one
Yeah well it's a custom plate, not a generic system generated plate number.
If you choose the number plate you want it is personalised, regardless of which plate or layout.
The one you want is the basic personalisation so is the cheaper option.
>they reckon it's a personalised plate
It is the exact definition of personalised plate as you are personalising the combination.

People who chose to have personalised plates have more money than sense IMO. Why would anyone choose to pay a yearly fee to display you’re a wanker?
Yes that is correct. If you choose the content or a special style then yearly fee is charged.
They are correct. You pick the combo you pay a yearly fee. You can keep your current combo but change the style for a one off fee.
If you walk in and pick a standard, next in sequence b&y or b&w plate there's no yearly fee.
If you restyle a standard plate already on a vehicle but pick a new design or colour etc, there's no yearly fee
If you pick the content of the plate, beyond the design - ANY element of the letters and numbers, then it's personalised. Doesn't matter if it's a word or still something vaguely normal like AA11BB. You personalised the content, you pay yearly.
That fee is even higher for non standard content, like less letters or only letters / numbers.
This is how it is in NSW. Either do it or don't, but it's your choice and that's the cost of entry if you want in.
Glad I have my personalised plates from 26 yrs ago. I don't agree with the change they made to pay yearly. Just a grab for more money by a private firm. Plates used to beade by prisoners.
Yep, you pay for the actual plate fee which is a once off and depends on the style you choose and then an annual fee that is added to your rego. It’s an absolute rort. I’m paying an extra 100 and a bit per year as I couldn’t justify that $454 yearly fee for custom plates.
Victoria have it easy, they just have the one off fee as far as I’m aware.
This (the one I am asking about) used to be considered a standard letter/number combo even tho a special request could be made. My current plates are standard plates, but I got to choose it, I paid a one off fee and no yearly fee.
By the looks of it, this has changed in recent years to pay an annual fee. This is what I am asking.

Thank you. Your answer is the one I was after. Yes, back in the day, there was a one off charge and no yearly fee.
I pay for custom plates, given not the custom layout. I'd like to think I'm not a wanker, just like having a custom plates because I love my car. I have worked retail and low income jobs most my life. Not that I don't agree it's waste of money, but sometimes it's nice to get something you want. There's certainly worse things to waste your money on.

I'm trying to avoid the yearly fee on something that used to be done with a one off fee.
In the NT its $200 one off fee.
