1d662ph | The Australian Energy Market is a speculative gambling environment where profit is key, regardless of the cost to society for an essential service: it's like putting the future of Australia in the hands of a casino. | 0 |
1cwz4zo | A thought bubble that is utterly unenforcable by government that sidesteps the failures our society has rolled through in parenting and collective modelling of behavior. | 0 |
1d30cgv | Its a point on the mystery shopper's list. Cashieres get unofficially reprimanded if they serve the mystery shopper and dont offer them a catalogue. They take their mystery shopper reports really seriously lol | 0 |
1d2fqxt | To everyone freaking out, as a plumber this happens often.
No rain last night, so not a roof leak. Water has been isolated so issue has stopped.
Could be a bath left on, fire sprinkler, Flexi hose burst, burst pipe in wall etc. the main floor thats burst will need floors replaced, the other floors wil probably just need hallway carpet dried. Lift shaft will likely be fine.
The comments about cost and not buying in this building are ridiculous. This will almost certainly be covered by insurance - either strata, individual or builders. A few people will be put out, almost all will be fine. | 0 |

1d41669 | victor churchill. rockpool isnt too shabby either | 1 |
1d17912 | The connecting flights booked as one ticket are what's called a "protected connection". If your flight from Queenstown is delayed for some reason outside your control, and you miss the leg to Cairns, the onus is on the airline to get you to Cairns.
Booking them separately offers no kind of protection. Miss that Cairns leg, you're on your own.
Even with no checked luggage, 90 mins international to domestic would be cutting it extremely fine. It would only take one sort of cock-up and you'll miss it.
Book the connecting flight with 3 hours and have a beer in the domestic departure area and relax. Future you will thank previous you. | 1 |
1d6d1u9 | I really just have anecdotes to add. But I've noticed there have been **a lot** of people off sick in the past few weeks at my job. People being off sick for long periods of time. There's definitely *something* going around at the moment. But I've not paid too much attention to it outside of that. | 0 |
1cptts3 | >“Historically, there can be a lack of stability in Aboriginal leadership. I wanted some assurance … I would have some stability for myself moving forward...
He's a salaried public official getting $438k and he almost got a multi million dollar ten percent stake in the indiginous mining operation. Bastard sacked the lawyer that exposed the dodgy mongrel.

How can the poor bugger afford to eat on only $438k?
>The fact his wife, Sophy Liu, worked at one of these firms also raised a potential for conflicts of interest,
You can bet she's on a fat paypacket sitting back doing bugger-all/nothing as a 'consultant', part of some backhanded deal he's got going. | 0 |

1cp7krx | Correct. It’s definitely from their point of view a back door to permanent residency. But if they’ve paid full fees for a degree here I don’t see why that’s a bad thing. At least they’ve paid their dues (and cash.) | 0 |
1d1j6ic | I had a uni lecturer (white American-born “artiste” type) that would dramatise the acknowledgement of country so bad.
She’d add all this extra emphasis and be like “I really cannot, as an ALLY, reconcile STANDING HERE on THEIR LAND. It breaks my heart. I struggle with this every day.”
It drove me crazy. I wanted to tell her to sell her house and quit her job, then promptly fly back to the US, if it was hitting her that hard. | 0 |
1d3ekd7 | Sure you can. You can even drive a semi trailer. But not legally. | 0 |
1d42g4j | That is true, but scammers are everywhere. They get into lots of places to do their scamming, thats why they are also called con (confidance) men/women. They build up confidance pretending to be someone they are not, then get what they can. | 0 |

1d3cwsb | Does anyone know of any places to meet new people? I have an interest in art and it’s been a long time since I’ve done anything art related. Mental health has been bad for over a year and a half. Coming out the other side now. Joined a gym and changed my diet and have already felt a lot better. Catching up with old high school friends the last week or so which have been nice. I’m 30 now so haven’t seen them in over 10 years.
Anyone know of any art groups? I’ve enjoyed life drawing in the past. Just really want to get myself out there and meet new people again. Covid was hard for me personally as it was for everyone and kinda lost touch with socialising. | 1 |
1cquohn | Yes. I'm not sure about the satellite hubs but it seems everyone in Australia - bar the major parties - is keen on fossil fuel and other mineral \[but particularly gas and coal\] tax imposts. According to QandA's speakers, and audience, last night; we get close to diddly from our exports. | 0 |
1d3ekd7 | I’m in Tassie. If you got an auto license you can’t drive a manual until you either pass the P’s test in a manual OR it’s been a certain amount of time since you’ve had your open license and you can get the auto condition removed (this is what I did, I got the condition removed in my early 20’s).
Not sure about other states - the process will vary. | 1 |
1d3qufm | I don't really think about it? My thoughts reading this post are that you've created a false dichotomy. If someone uses the word dude they're using the word dude. They could have used mate, buddy, cobber, buggalugs, titfucker, or anything else but it would take a really really long time to think about all the words someone didn't say whenever they speak. There's a lot of words. | 0 |

1d3iwgi | Carlton is beautiful and lively with lygon st (little Italy) and the student population, and Brunswick isn’t rough at all. Both have their pockets of activity but can be quiet/residential despite close proximity to activity, transport and the CBD.
Fitzroy may be the most ‘happening’ but is busier & noisier, parking is a nightmare and gentrification has well and truly hit and imo it’s too bougie now. All of the inner northern suburbs are alternative and queer.
Brunswick is very cool but behind in the gentrification compared to fitzroy. Have you considered Footscray? It is further behind in gentrification but is diverse and bustling, it is very cool.
Parkville is beautiful, central and green, but quiet in itself. | 1 |

1d2isfz | The allegations aren’t overcooked (with some exceptions). People are literally screaming about intifadas and support of Hamas. If you aren’t allowed to do a nazi salute or wave a swastika, you shouldn’t be allowed to openly support terrorists who want to kill Jews either. What’s the problem with that?
Edit: And to be clear the Sydney opera house incident wasn’t overblown, it was manipulated to grab attention, which is inexcusable. But they were still saying “fuck the Jews” and “where’s the Jews” while trying to find a group of Jewish people that had gathered at the opera house, which I’d argue is more threatening. | 0 |

1d2y8wr | While labour and materials are the biggest cost inputs into homes trades who work for domestic builders arent even on that much.
High wages defenitely afflict high rise builders though especially in victoria.
But what does my head in is the liberals are all over this new car tax and yet they introdiced GST on homes, then mainly labor state governments introduced developer levies, councils more charges.
So we have liberals crying foul on a 15k impost on 4x4s but then the 150k plus in taxes from homes - 15bn odd per annum we dont say the same - what does this 150k do to the proce of all homes.
To my mind it is a bigger issue of justice and equality that homes are made more expensive by tax than 4x4s and i drive and holiday in 4x4s.
Why is this not on the radar? Why can we go; congrats labor spending 2bn on supply while we milk 15bn back out as generous to prospective first home buyers.
I mean we are literally putting a tax on these 4x4s of 15k to discourage them but then dont care we have 150k odd on a new home and wonder where is the supply. | 0 |

1cz2fx4 | This author is using "migrant" to mean not citizen which is really dumb. We live in a country ~50% of Australians have a parent born overseas.
Sorry Bang, you're not representative of the migrant experience. Albo as a first generation Australian on his Dad's side is a better example and well involved in setting policy.

1d19t0e | most of them are weekend warriors and tourists. If they're full time they've either found a hustle that works for them (probably won't work long term but that's a different conversation), can hold down a decent job (most common) or they're just living point to point which is a true red flag. | 0 |
1cu3fbw | Yeah no shit.
They just running populist nonsense
They had no plan to fund tafe,which is one of the 3 key factors to the housing crisis
Nothing about HOW they will build more homes...even if they cut immigration to zero,it doesn't adress the zoning shit,the land releases,the lack of trades. | 0 |
1ctbiz7 | Only a small percentage of the population has participated in these protests - just eight percent of surveyed American students have participated in a demonstration supporting either side, doubtlessly a smaller percentage here - so I would say what is happening on corners of certain campuses in Australia has little to no bearing on the rest of the country. | 0 |

1d35xyt | Out of the options you listed, Buller is the clear pick. It has a good lift network, good trails, good town, generally has decent conditions, and good transport options. It can get really busy especially on weekends, midweek less of an issue.
Lake Mountain doesn't have any downhill skiing - cross country only (as well as snow play). It's also very low in altitude so unreliable for conditions - if you wanted to to go there to see snow you'd have to keep an eye on the weather and conditions as it may well be sloppy or bare.
Baw Baw can get decent snow but it's a very small area with short lifts and trails. It would be cheaper than Buller so there's that. I've never been there so can't say much more.
My favourite option in Victoria is Falls Creek - IMO it has the best variety of terrain, the best views, the best conditions, and less queues than Buller. However it is too far for a day trip. For 2 nights though I'd say it's worth it going to Falls Creek. It might be hard and/or expensive to get accommodation at this late stage though. Definitely worth the extra distance though if it's possible.
Finally - if your visitors are coming from overseas, I'd question if going skiing here is really something they want to do here. If they're coming from a country where they already ski, it's unlikely to be better here. And if not, it's likely they can travel and ski somewhere where it will be cheaper and better than it is here. I'm not saying absolutely not to ski here - I do most years and enjoy it - but there's probably better uses of their time and money in Australia. I only ski here because I live here and that makes it easy. | 1 |
1d0ltkw | I know atheists who genuinely think religious people should all be locked up. I wonder if that could be considered "harm" or some act of violence. Would be an interesting test case.
I am also curious what "cause harm" could mean in general. Presumably harm could be psychological or just hurt feelings. Could someone potentially argue that a religious person saying LGBT people are committing sin or are disobeying God or are going to hell causes "harm"? If so thay is a big problem. | 0 |
1cwahc0 | So yet another broken promise. No Republic referendum by the sounds of it. | 0 |
1cuq695 | Part of the issue that all the solutions are pitched to helping housing be more affordable for the upper middle, and middle of the economy.... which doesn't really grasp the issue as young people feel it. Not to mention the homeless and disabled who will probably struggle the most in their life times to ever find a path to home ownership.
You kind of have to help the poorest into home ownership to be seen as actually addressing the problem as it is felt. | 0 |
1d5fsq6 | Chapris are also known for anti social behaviours like rash driving and general nuisance like making too much noise. They don't commit any crimes though, areas where they are in majority are not unsafe. | 0 |
1czo1ys | I have a support worker and I found her on this Australian support worker app called “Mable”. The interface can be annoying at times but it was helpful for me to have a place to find a regular support worker. In Australia, support workers can be covered under the NDIS, so I would definitely look into that if you haven’t already! | 1 |
1d68uab | Hi there, I recommend you call both EastLink and CityLink to see if there’s been any travel. If you have an eTag, check the account online and see what direction it’s going in. Hopefully it’s just a joyride and they dump it somewhere. Best of luck. | 1 |

1csfnw5 | It’s the other way around.
The Liberal/National Parties and Australia’s corporate media repeat and amplify whatever lies and propaganda their donors/advertisers pay them to.
Let’s call it what it is - blatant corruption.
The mining and fossil fuel industries paid the coalition and News Corp to push nuclear propaganda for the last few years despite all of the scientists and engineers in the energy field stating unequivocally that nuclear power is not economically viable in Australia.
We need media reforms to sever the control of corrupt billionaires on the public discourse, and to restore the independence of news and journalism.
An independent media will then report on and expose corruption in our political system, which is the news media’s role in keeping democracy healthy. | 0 |
1d4lcsf | I'm sure Ananda-Rajah has enough Investment Properties to pull herself up by the bootstraps in case she decides not to contest, or goes for Melbourne or Kooyong and loses.
I have a feeling that she might have a crack at Kooyong though to try turning Teal to Red - I think that she would be quite palatable to the demographics of Kooyong + the 1/5 of Higgins which becomes Kooyong despite the Labor brand. However Monique Ryan has proven to be an effective MP who is a tier above what she can offer, so I don't like her chances. | 0 |
1d4h1ro | LCD backlights have an expected lifespan, typically measured in hours. It can be a pretty wide range of hours from 20,000 - 100,000 hours depending on multiple things such as the quality of components, screen brightness & other settings, environment it was being used in, so on and so forth. Some manufacturers advertise their expected lifespans (with lots of caveats).
How many hours per day did you use the monitor? What brightness level? Was the room it was in hot or humid? Did it get direct sunlight? Etc etc etc. Multiply the amount of hours you used it by 4 years, take off a bunch for whatever conditions, and if the number you get is significantly under the expected lifespan for your monitor, then you can argue (per Australin consumer law) that despite being out of warranty it is still a valid return because it isn't meeting the expected lifespan.
But if your rough estimate of total hours of use is around what is expected for your monitor, you're going to have a much harder time arguing that point. | 1 |
1d5rzal | Why would it be a career ender or even embarassing when it's a fake? The ability to create fakes makes it even more likely that what you see is a fake since it is easier to produce.
Since the only connection with a person is generally the face and people aren't usually embarassed or career ending because of an image of their face being distributed, then the known presence of fakes means the rest of the image, which is the part that ties it to being porn, is questionable. It's like an allegation that has no supporting evidence or a joke that has multiple interpretations.
Really, I don't understand this paranoia over unsupported allegations unless society is now accepting unsupported allegations as truth and punishing on the basis of guilty until proven innocent.
The prevalence of fakes and misinformation simply means you can't trust what you are superficially presented with and thus your own response to that material is questionable: you have to work harder to find the truth in order to react reasonably, or just dismiss it all as propaganda and not react, unless you like the sound of your own subjective emotions dribbling out of your mouth without any objective basis.
The purpose of porn is to sexually excite and usually it exaggerates the characteristics that facilitate that. Even if deepfake porn is produced, it's likely to accentuate a persons sexual characteristics, so once again, I'm unsure how that is such an objectively harmful thing to go all prohibition era on if you do accept the authenticity of deep fakes or if you reject them as fakes.
It's easier for someone to ignore criticism and judgement than it is to force everyone not to criticise or judge.
The issue with deepfake porn is one of subjective emotional responses that needs to be moderated with reason, rather than objective harms that usually involve physical action against someone: subjective hurt feelings are not necessarily objective harms and everything tends to impact on our subjective emotions, so should we attempt to address everything in the world that results in hurt feelings or reduce the complexity down to addressing objective harms that might even be practical? Objective harms themself must be triaged because we don't have enough resources to manage them completely, let alone adding subjective hurt feelings to the burden creating an even longer list.
Subjective emotions are at the heart of many of the laws being crafted today, particularly fear and paranoia, yet government is using fear as a deterrent in an attempt to suppress the distribution of material that it says leads to fear. How can the use of fear be wrong in the distribution of deep fake porn but right in the methods used to suppress it? The ends don't justify the means. | 0 |

1d4msni | I work with people in the justice system. Sometimes if the cops cannot ascertain who dealt the lethal act (or there is more than one potentially lethal act) then everyone gets charged with murder/manslaughter. I even saw a case where someone was charged with murder and when they weren't even present at the crime scene because they had helped plan the offence which resulted in the person getting killed. That person got convicted of manslaughter instead by the jury who had discretion to find that as an alternative to murder.
Scary part - sometimes the wrong person gets thrown under the bus. Saw a case where someone was charged with GBH after an affray where all his mates said it was him who kicked the victim's head in. Totally by accident someone provided footage showing that guy standing to the side looking drunk off his arse while the while scene went on around him and he didn't throw a single punch. His "mates" were going to send him down for like 5-10 years. | 0 |
1csfnw5 | Yes, if nuclear power plants were free and everyone was happy to have one nearby, they'd threaten all coal power, even some wind and solar.
But they're not and they aren't. It's nothing to do with not being "allowed". Literally no energy company is asking for "permission", because they know that nuclear makes no business sense. | 0 |
1ctbiz7 | Absolutely agree, Gaza is a crybully war that was started by cowardly terrorists while Ukraine will determine the future of the world with its result.
