1d0ag93 | That’s a very good suggestion. Thanks. I should’ve mentioned this in my post but It’s been 1.5 years since I started working there but these issues started only 3 months ago when I was promoted to the same level as her. I already requested with my manager to change position internally or flexible working arrangements but there was nothing. | 0 |

1cpft2l | Yeah well out of this doctor and what he actually said once by the way and say an afl player. I don't think you have any clue about people and you throw extreme slurs around not because it is true but because they don't share your world view. | 0 |

1d2h47p | - Use all the respite days
- Be prepared to advocate for everything
- I think most staff have good intentions, but there are bad eggs everywhere
- Things progressed very quickly for me when I had to find my loved one a home.
- The worst part - Unfortunately the date he went permanent, he had a substantial amount in the bank. This meant he pays an eyewatering amount each f/n. Over 2.5 years, there is not much left. I am concerned about the future.
- oh, make sure you have a will and EPOA.
All the best | 0 |
1crheft | You can add this to the list of things people kept saying would happen if the LNP got in that are happening under Labor. | 0 |
1d605km | So already pre-selected 31-year-old Amelia Hamer will be given the boot to make way for Frydenberg?
The Liberal Party went through a performative pre-selection process to look like they are addressing their Women problem, only to possibly backflip and gift these pre-selections to male Liberal candidates. No wonder Fiona Martin declared she will not renew her Liberal membership and basically endorsed the Teals yesterday.
Monique Ryan's campaign will have a field day if this comes to fruition. | 0 |
1cp0hp3 | Agreed. It also allows literally every other political party to re-use a coalition slogan from the Voice campaign:
"If you don't know [where the nuclear power plants will be built], vote no." | 0 |

1cza07d | We recently spent a fair bit of money on a very nice dining table and sturdy comfortable dining chairs... So to answer your question we eat on the lounge watching our stories. | 0 |
1d3i32i | We had someone try unlock our front door at about 1am two nights ago in the eastern suburbs. Are you in that area? | 0 |
1d4iyvu | I'm assuming refinancing does seem excessive though | 0 |
1d1m0lw | It can't hurt to contact the manager though there is likely little can be done on that end. If the person has a carer it might be worth talking to them about it. If the person doesn't have a carer it might be worth contacting social services or one of the charities like the salvos and they might be able to hook him up with some support. With support there might come silence. Good luck. | 1 |

1d31y51 | $2 per kilometre is a decent rough guide to get you started. Cheaper if you want to throw up a tent and more if you want to stay in fancy hotels.
Between $5000 and $10000 will get you a decent reliable car depending on your exact needs/wants.
Pick a list of places you want to visit and a time frame and then you can start planning from there. | 1 |
1d4mhl1 | A dopey post byline? | 0 |
1d34yf6 | Very normal to do so. Most office buildings have End Of Trip Facilities
It means I can ride to work or train at a gym near my office while having access to fresh towels, secure storage, hair dryer and straighteners, bike storage and a very clean environment.
In the past I have worked in smaller offices (non CBD) they even had showers for workers that wanted to use them.
It's all part of making office life better for staff. | 1 |
1d2i1cj | Cartel del taco near prahran train station does a good Birria taco with lots of fillings , it’s hit as hell though so only go if you like spicy and try the ‘elote loco bowl’ for something not from this world, it’s like cheetos and melted cheese with corn | 1 |
1cozx5z | I advocate mass importation of small , portable accommodation ( aka like current mining accom) en masse.
Buy it from China if needs be and use federal land to bypass council and state red tape.
We need immediate solutions to alleviate the crisis in the very short term whilst more permanent solutions for housing are found.
Once achieved, sell these on the private market to recoup some costs.
Power , water , and sanitation needs can be addressed in a timely manner with new technology available in a quick fashion also.
It can be done. | 1 |
1d2awds | The metro tunnel will also be a PPP... Something to look forward to. | 1 |
1ctuvdq | Where is the completely hapless Pesutto and Victorian Liberal opposition. Labor are in the media everywhere for all of the wrong reasons and he is doing nothing. | 0 |
1cz2fx4 | We’re all economic units to be managed. That’s the reality. | 0 |
1d5ifnp | Might be worth hitting up a nice Japanese uni tbh. | 1 |
1cwtko0 | Better to start the transition to direct democracy via a national distributed government aided by an uncensored online public forum and get beyond the need for representation and terms.
Are we not in the 21st Century, yet still behaving like we were in the 20th, desperately clinging to the status quo and resisting change? | 0 |
1crheft | The ALP are economic liberals posing as Social Democrats. Stuff like this just sits on a pile of other proof for this fact. | 0 |

1ctucxt | Did you read the article or the headline? He’s been demoted because of his accusations against the NSW police, not because he supports Palestine.
Can tell what sort of conspiracies are on *your* mind. | 0 |
1czbjox | God that’s even sadder, but I think you’re onto something. I see it with what we call the normies at the Sydney clubs etc, they get stupidly drunk stupidly early, then they’re home by 2. Serious cultural cringe compared to pacing + partying all night/day. | 0 |
1cq4slp | a major part of the problem is perpetuating the idea that "mental illness" is in the same category as physical illness
it is not and the trend in mental health is to recognise that many mental health issues are in large part responses to social and environmental stressors
biomedical psychiatry has already lost in the battle of ideas but desperately clings to its fiction to preserve the power the state gives them | 0 |
1cwhypl | Ideally, they shouldn't get it because they don't need it, but the changes to stage 3 dwarf $300 for high-income households anyway. Swings and roundabouts, etc. | 0 |
1d605km | Funny, I could've sworn just last year old Joshy boy, bungler of JobKeeper, confirmed he wouldn't return to politics after he was appointed as the chairman of Goldman Sachs’ Australian and New Zealand operations.
I mean, there was more than one article about it:
[Josh Frydenberg puts political comeback on hold, becomes Goldman Sachs Australia chairman](
[Josh Frydenberg won’t run in Kooyong at next election after Goldman Sachs appointment](

1d08tkm | Not that I have a choice in being childless but having the freedom that comes with being single and childless is something that is priceless and I wouldn't give up unless offered absurd fantasy level payments in the millions that is never going to happen.
Once you get a taste of freedom and doing what you want whenever you want it's nearly impossible to give that up and all this nonsense about "the white race is being bred out" and "Australian culture is being bred out" is peak who cares for me, I don't care about the state of white people and Australian culture long after I'm dead I've got a maximum of 40 years left to live I'm going to enjoy it playing golf and painting. | 0 |
1d5ime1 | For me it’s a 5km walk back to my car which I park at my office with 2 young kids it’s just not possible to walk back. Seems like we can’t even get the basics right when it comes to operating good reliable PT | 0 |
1d5vino | LNP yet again being the party of "rule of law" and "global order"... Until they don't like it, so of course they put in a "accidentally" too broad language to make the commitment to the ICC effectively meaningless (at least in this specific instance).
Not that it matters much, 0% chance any leader of <SOME NON-SPECIFIC COUNTRY ENGAGED IN CONFLICT AGAINST HAMAS CURRENTLY> is going anywhere until the conflict is sorted, and they definitely ain't coming here first, lol. | 0 |

1czgx88 | It’s an expensive piece of paper and expensive piece of paper to shred if it comes to that. Marriage has lost its value these days, it’s more of a novelty. So, I’m anti marriage as well.. I have better things to spend my money on! | 0 |
1d0r77q | Strata is a broken system, but it exists due to a need to manage and repair common areas in apartment buildings and townhouse complexes. I hate it, but what's the alternative?
From where I'm sitting, HOAs seem like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. For maintenance of roadsides and the like we've got councils, and aside from planning regulations they don't really impose too much on what you do on your own property.
I think if I were subject to the whims of an HOA I'd hate it more than I hate strata. | 0 |

1d3om48 | If we're going to keep accelerating climate change then we're going to have to pay for its effects on our country and way of life.
I just wish we could have an honest conversation about how much we really need in royalties to prepare for the incredible costs coming our way.
Because if it's not fossil fuels paying for these externalities then it's going to be the tax payer bearing the burden. | 0 |

1d61bgb | Facebook is an echochamber of racism. The moment you post an innocent photo of an aboriginal child from the 1930s, all the uneducated boomer bogans emerge. It's just the way it is. I don't think any reasonable person tolerates this. | 0 |
1d0vfvd | So the tentative plan is for 8 nights at Melbourne. I need to budget 2 nights on GOR and 2 nights for Grampians, so 4 nights for GOR + Grampians and the remaining 4 nights local sightseeing + Philip Island etc. And then onto Sydney for another 6 nights. Will fly between Melbourne- Sydney since would have already done the road trips to GOR / Grampians etc. How does this sound? | 1 |
1cq4b8j | The key point is they met all planning requirements and the council just didn’t like the proposal and dug in their heels to prevent the go-ahead until VCAT overturned their decision.
Local councils are incredibly obstructive and need to have planning powers stripped. | 0 |
1d4qysf | A lot of comments are thinking they're above this? If it's a super busy period and somebody passes you the note while they're holding the Chinese text side your brain would be on autopilot and already assume it's a real $50 note as you're not thinking it'd be a counterfeit due to the small chance you'd ever receive one. | 0 |

1d59lcc | One way to measure Australian luck is that last time Australia was in recession was in way back in 1991.
Australia has experienced the longest period of growth without a recession for any developed country since World War II.
That’s a lot of economic pain Aussies have avoided compared to anywhere else. | 1 |

1d5rzal | so
govt wastes time,making it jailable for up to six years to send fake porn.
But a dude literally,burned a person to death as an NDIS career by putting then in boiling water,and no charges will be laid because the provider is too large to admonish as if they collapsed services would suffer..
Not saying deepfake porns not an issue,but it's probably not even in top 100 of the largest issues we need adressed. | 0 |
1d2gt0e | We don’t have asylums where we just endlessly lock people up anymore, so there isn’t a whole lot to do with folks if they’re not actually physically assaulting people (which gets treated as a criminal issue rather than mental health support.) Arresting people struggling with mental health or addiction is a temporary fix, as is chucking them in hospital where beds are severely limited.
There’s sort of a weird grey space now where it’s like, sure — people have rights and those places were often inhumane, but what’s the solution to keep them and others safe? We need a hell of a lot more funding and thinking outside the box research towards what to do in regards to this issue. It seems to be small band aid fixes like “hey, let’s restrict opiate pain meds for everyone, that’ll solve some shit” without looking at a lot of core issues. So many factors. Health care. Income. Stress. Housing factors. Familial issues. Education. It’s so multifaceted. | 0 |
1d3xmly | It’s horrendous isn’t it.
I think only if you’re lucky enough to see them on their last week/day and they have a good relationship with you then they may tell you; but the soon to be previous employer doesn’t want to lose your business.
Which is silly as half the time you will find somewhere else regardless | 0 |
1cq4b8j | Yeah, the price is a sticky point. The idea has merit for some people I am sure. Not introverts like myself, but others. Interested to see how it pans out | 1 |
1d66324 | My local Coles always packs our bags.
However today we did click and collect which I haven’t done a click and collect in ages. During Covid they made you purchase bags for every order. Today I did an order and selected no bags expecting to have to pack the items into our bags at the boot of my car and the lady who came out offered to do it for me. | 1 |

1cpqqgf | Rebecca Huntley assesses the public mood for a living. Right now, she says, it is grim, and the housing crisis is at the root of it.
“You actually can’t have a conversation about anything in any focus group about any topic that doesn’t begin and end with housing. There is a deep, almost intractable despair,” says Huntley, director at the strategic communications consultancy 89 Degrees East.
The way people in her focus groups see it, she says, “it doesn’t matter whether interest rates are up or interest rates are down, or unemployment is up or unemployment is down, doesn’t matter if it’s a pandemic, not a pandemic, GFC or not a GFC, housing is a horror show”.
To an ever-increasing extent, they see just one solution to their woes: cut immigration.
“They’re like, ‘We can’t get ourselves out of this mess, therefore, we just need less people lining up for the rental property, less people trying to buy the house. Just less people’,” says Huntley.
It’s not such a new sentiment, though perhaps not previously so keenly felt. Opinion polls have consistently shown over many years that a substantial majority of Australians want a smaller migrant intake and a significant number want a much smaller intake. One poll last year found as many as a quarter of respondents wanted zero net migration.
Pauline Hanson reeled off the results of 11 of these polls, conducted over the past six years, in a speech to parliament in March.
Of course, Hanson has been railing against immigration since she was first elected to federal parliament back in 1996, famously warning in her first speech that Australia was being “swamped by Asians”. Two decades later, after having lost her seat in the lower house, she made a triumphant return as a senator for Queensland in 2016, warning Australia was being “swamped by Muslims”.
In her March 21 speech, though, Hanson focused less on matters of race and religion than on the pressures of the sheer number of migrants on housing, transport, health, education and other services. In reciting the findings of various reputable pollsters, she claimed vindication. The major parties and big media had called her a racist and ignored her warnings that the numbers were “out of control”.
“Was I right?” she asked her fellow senators. “You’d never admit it, but yes I was,” she said.
It’s hard to think of any issue other than immigration on which public opinion has been so at odds with accepted policy for so long. The large majority of people want it cut; the great majority of the political, media and economic establishment have ignored their concerns.
It has long been the multipartisan political position that high immigration is a good thing, enriching the nation culturally and economically. Questioning the orthodoxy has been a reputationally dangerous act, leading many people and organisations to be reluctant to share their qualms about the size of Australia’s immigration intake.
Ian Lowe, emeritus professor in the School of Environment and Science at Griffith University, can attest to that.
Lowe was president of the country’s pre-eminent environmental organisation, the Australian Conservation Foundation, for 10 years until 2014.
During that time, he tells *The Saturday Paper*, he advocated for the ACF to “prosecute the idea that population growth was a significant environmental pressure”. The organisation was reluctant to take a position, however, on the basis that advocating for a lower intake would be “taken as a sort of Pauline Hanson-type racist comment”.
“Cutting migration will make housing cheaper, but it would also make us poorer … The boost to government budgets is enormous.”
So the ACF avoided the issue, and it still does today – as do most other civil society groups concerned with environmental and social justice issues.
Meanwhile, Australia’s population is on track to grow to about 40 million people – an increase equivalent to the combined current populations of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane – by 2060. | 0 |

1d5gc93 | [u/JacintaAllanMP]( “Hundreds of properties in apartment towers have been identified as vacant for more than six months through a compliance investigation, making them liable for vacant residential land tax (VRLT).
