Why am I downvoted for this? I'm from a part of America that has no trains and virtually no public transportation, so I am in love with the NSW lines.

And Kiama

There's a bus....

Sure. But the time and cost of the train and the bus honestly driving us way less effort and probably not much more expensive

Man jailed for pointing loaded pistol at NSW Chinese restaurant chef in row over sweet and sour pork

"The fried rice was all right, but the sweet and sour pork, it's supposed to be in a bowl with veggies and all that with it — it's just nothing like that and it was burnt, I was just peed off because I paid all that money and I got crap."

"I wanted a decent meal, I mean, I asked for sweet and sour pork and I got rocks," Shinner said.

Mr Yam told police that Shinner yelled: "Give me the sweet and sour pork."

At that point, the court heard, Mr Yam turned on Shinner by throwing punches and launching a "flying kick".

"The offender said to Mr Yam, 'give me my order or I will shoot you,'" Judge Anderson said.

GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PISTOL!!!

>The court was told Mr Yam felt scared when Shinner produced the gun, pointed it at his head and asked for another meal.

Mr Yam told police that Shinner yelled: "Give me the sweet and sour pork."

At that point, the court heard, Mr Yam turned on Shinner by throwing punches and launching a "flying kick".

Shinner then fell down and Mr Yam pinned him to the floor, before Shinner managed to flee, leaving the gun.

Epic. just epic

Flying kick? I see that you know your judo well!

THIS is the man that touched my limp pistol!

I see you know your gunkata well

Hey, got pulled over for speeding. In WA plates as we have moved here over 2 months ago.

Cop said I need to swap plates to NSW. Which would require all these stupid slips. Thing is that we are probably going to be moving back to Wa next year. Is there a way around all this BS / could / should I just continue on my WA plates. Or would there be consequences for not changing over?

Edit, a mate thinks that WA ppl don't need to do this? Thoughts?

Thanks for replying

If you live in NSW for more than 90 days you need to change to NSW registration.

Yes technically after 3 months you need to change over to NSW rego.

But if you were never pulled over by a cop you could theoretically keep WA rego forever as long as you keep renewing it.

As soon as the cop pulled you over an entry is created on your NSW traffic record which basically starts the clock for 3 months as the next time you get pulled over they can see you were here 3 months ago.

That said there arent that many 'stupid slips'. There's two.

One is injury insurance, one is a mechanic inspection.

You must swap plates, especially if you've now been documented as being told to.

In saying that you're very unlucky, I know some friends that are on qld plates for years and had no issue. It's pretty expensive to rego/keep a car regoed in NSW.

You may be able to circumvent it by changing your licensed address back to WA?

It might be worth considering buying a registered shitbox with NSW Rego and selling it when you go back home.

The rules only apply to private people. Many company registered vehicles are from interstate, but have been here for decades.

Thanks for all the comments guys, very helpful. I'm going to drive to scone tomorrow and sort it.

Quick question, is it possible to swing in for a blue ticket check, then go online and buy a green ticket then go to service nsw and swap plates over in one day?

We live rural so not wanting to do multiple trips.

Thank you

Cheers

Yeah. Unless you’re in ADF, no way around this.

YeH thought about that, though might be same problem. Get pulled over in the future and it will flag as a previous problem.... etc

Hey team,

My housemate and I have lived in our flat for two years. He has a cat which has lived here since I moved in.

When he moved in he put in an application for approval of a pet which went ignored by the rental agent. One month ago, we received an extortionate rent increase but we like where we live so we agreed to it. This morning he has received an email saying the previously ignored cat must be removed from the premises immediately. Obviously he will not give up his cat to stay here so we are faced with moving.

My guess is that they didn’t expect us to agree to the rent increase and are trying to put the flat back on the rental market and the cat is a great excuse to get us out.

I’m assuming this is entirely legal but I wanted to run it by anyone who might have an idea of what our options are.

Thanks for reading.

Check out r/AusLegal and maybe NCAT? I’m sorry you’re in this situation, pack of greedy fuckers (LLs and PMs)

You could be right, since you accepted the rent increase so readily they think they can get more.

Just take it outdoors on inspection day or hide everything under your bed; that's what I do. It's pretty easy if you have a stranger-danger type of cat.

Amazing thank you.

Thanks so much for the tip.

They’re the worst.

My thoughts exactly.

Cost per night has almost doubled in four months. Is it due to workers in the bypass construction or something else? Not school holidays, when they usually do go up. Any ideas?

No definitely the big bypass going through. There's also a housing shortage like every where else..

Supply and demand? When I worked in hotels they all communicated occupancy so I guess you can price accordingly to how busy everywhere is.

Music festival going on up there?

CBD Moto Inn used to be one of the more affordable places. Clean and renovated rooms.

Hope you find something that fits your budget!

Yes, was thinking bypass. Housing an issue everywhere.

Oh could be

Thanks! Was surprised at the jump in price 🤔

Hey everyone, basically I got a fine today for having my phone plugged into my car. I understand that’s not allowed, but it wasn’t doing anything. It wasn’t playing music, I was talking to my friend in the passenger seat. I had used it before being pulled over, whilst parked, while trying to figure out where I was going and I just genuinely forgot to take it off because I was talking with my friend and I was done using it, so it wasn’t on my mind.

What I am trying to say is, should I contest this? I don’t have any previous demerit losses or suspensions, I’ve never been pulled over. I have 3 parking tickets, which were all paid on time.

I’m kind of shocked I didn’t just get a warning honestly, I very clearly did not have my hands anywhere near it. Anyway please help because I need my car for work which is specifically why I usually have it unplugged, I want to avoid this.

Have a look at the pic they have on you on the service nsw website and then read the specific law and see if you can contest it based on the pic and the law.

Fines apply for **using** your mobile phone. You were fined for having one visible (but not in use). I would request a review through Revenue NSW first [https://www.apps09.revenue.nsw.gov.au/customer\_service/finesonline/login](https://www.apps09.revenue.nsw.gov.au/customer_service/finesonline/login).

If the review is unsuccessful, you can still fight the fine in the Local Court.

Can't touch your phone on Ps in NSW yadda yadda. Hard to contest if you were seen and pulled over or snagged by a mobile detection camera...

Good luck, make sure you're aware of all the impacts if you cop the fine etc, don't do it again!

You can stop it or cop it. But really the cops hear so many lies why would they believe you and they are trying to stop you being distracted and killing somebody

you say you had it plugged in - was it a dumb charger or Apple Carplay/Android Auto?

Describe "plugged in to my car". Plugged in to what? Using carplay/navigation? Was it mounted on something or out of site? If it was out of site, why did they pull you over?

You're going to need to supply more info to get a fair indication of your chances at appeal.

Hey so my husband got caught using his phone while on his red Ps. Obviously that was very stupid of him, not trying to condone it. Problem was he needed his licence to do his job. He was able to go to court to get his 3 month suspension lowered to just 1 week. You’ll need proof from your boss that you do need your licence for work. And it helps to have character references too. It’s a bit of work but worth it if it means keeping your job. But whatever you do, don’t try to defend your actions. Just own the mistake and promise it won’t happen again :)

Why were you fined if you weren’t using your phone? You wouldn’t be fined just because it’s being charged

"I understand that’s not allowed"

You cannot do that on P. You can't have it mounted, not on your lap, not even in your peripheral, nor your passenger seat. You can even take your SIM out and the law still doesn't care.

You can go to court and ask for the penalty to be varied from suspension to something else (as you license will be suspended for the loss of demerit points)

I did this when on my Green P’s, had to do a safe driving course and appear in court but the suspension was held until it was complete then varied from 3 months to 7 days, which saved me losing my job lol.

If you touched your phone you cop the fine.

If you 100% on yo mums life didn't touch it I'd contest it but I was scrolling Reddit at stoplights on my P's so I bet you were too and just really regret getting caught. Better that then ending up hurting someone.

My daughter was pulled over on her red Ps and the cop saw her phone had an adapter to plug it in (older car). He told her she could get a fine for just having it plugged in, even if she wasn't using it.

I was pulled over by a cop, there wasn’t a camera. I’m guessing the pic would be from mobile phone detectors?

It doesn’t matter, both are illegal for OP

If you are on your Ps you would

Unfortunately i cant sticky this conment

The pics are from cameras. If you were pulled over I don't think you have much of a hope. You will need to read the law and see of you can find a loop hole there.

Are you sure? The legislation is here:

[https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol\_reg/rr2014104/s300.html](https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_reg/rr2014104/s300.html)

My reading of that is you could have it on a dumb charger as long as you are not "using it". If it isn't connected via Bluetooth and you can't see it then I can't see how you could be "using it"

but we still don't know what OP was actually doing with their phone. I'm guessing it was plugged into Android Auto/Apple Carplay (not allowed) but it could have been plugged into a dumb charger (allowed as far as I can tell as long as you are not using it)
