1d2oook | Thankyou for replying. I saw a similar post on Deakin Uni in this group, that's why made an attempt to post this. I had already posted in Swinny and Engg gps. However, nobody showed up. | 1 |
1d60hbf | My first thought: this looks like one of those scam events by Hidden. After checking the Hidden website, it *might be*.
Read [this thread]( that details how they will sell you a ticket and probably never actually run the event and certainly never give you a refund.
The "secret location" will likely be an existing bar that has no idea they will be hosting the event. Attendees may show up on the day and the bartenders will be wondering WTF is going on.
The people behind this should be in jail.
Edit: It's possibly a different company that runs the one in the OP. Be cautious anyway. | 0 |
1czd8d4 | Yes please | 1 |
1d5bkeu | I'm constantly amazed at how many people I see riding and scooting around my town without helmets and at night without helmets and reflective gear. Cops don't seem to do anything.
Why wouldn't you wear at least a helmet? | 0 |
1d6av4j | The OP didn’t want to dox themselves as a naan lover so deleted their profile | 0 |
1cygxqf | Those Palestinian deaths which Husic uses a Hamas figure to quantify , are on Hamas and by default the people of Gaza for first carrying out a despicable act and then refusing to release the remaining hostages. Husic seeks to put them on Israel. Husic lacks the courage to come out and state clearly his position. | 0 |
1d2b2ny | It's not a naturally evolved suburb. Suburbs grow to work with their inhabitants, and gain a character over the years of being lived in.
Docklands is a big concrete shopping center. | 1 |

1cupgad | You can't bring these people back without deprogramming them completely.
That includes their theotocratic world views. If they can't leave religion behind, they truly wouldn't haven't learnt anything.
It's dangerous to let them back if they believe in a power higher than the rules and laws society runs by. | 0 |

1d4im5u | They're doing it because idiots turning left come and sit right beside them and then nobody can see to turn. | 0 |
1d2flpg | I had a mild heart attack, didn't even know it was one, and The Alfred had me doing tests within 15 minutes. Have had a few scares since then and always got in quick.
Getting out once you're admitted has always been the hard part for me. | 0 |

1d4jj8u | I’ll give you a quick breakdown of dating apps in Melbourne;
-Plenty of fish; more like plenty of bots
-OkCupid; Crazy expensive dodgy dating app that matches you with 8-9 invisible profiles from Africa and asks you to pay $90 to see where they are from. OkCupid used to be a safe haven for people from all walks of life, match.com bought it and drove it to ground.
-Tinder: most users are Instagram and TikTok influencer wannabes posing in filtered photos with their tongues out drinks in their hands, asking people to entertain them. Rest are 40+ single parents with Snapchat filtered photos and anger management issues
- Feeld; Like Tinder only worse, Lot of torso pictures, short attention span, no interest for relationships, great majority are either after hookups or they have no idea what they are looking for (this is literally what people write) admittedly there are some interesting people on Feeld but there is also so much rubbish, bots and spammers and unstable folks that you lose interest combing through shit very quickly.
-Bumble; you are more likely to make friends there through BFF option than anything else, less bots as app is better regulated but clientele tends to be more white collar and elitists there, would you like to choose between a real estate agent with character issues or a business owner that looks down on blue collar people?
I erased all of these a while ago, it was exhausting.
My suggestion is that get out there and meet people through socializing; meetup app is amazing to build friend circles, don’t use it to date, it’s frowned upon but once you get out there you’ll meet people anyway.
There is everything from mental health support groups to mindfulness practices, hiking groups to book clubs.
I am an introvert so it’s perfect app to find my crowd, dating apps were literally torturing my soul.
I am not single luckily, I wouldn’t want to be single in this internet age, it brought out the worst in people.
There are plenty of men in dating scene who are convinced women wants to see them naked or their private parts, and there are also women who know there are many desperate men so they treat men like trained monkeys who should roll on command, it’s so toxic.
Go meet people in real life, they tend to be more genuine. | 0 |
1d2flpg | The wait is long because people go to emergency for headaches and shit | 0 |
1d03qfh | Go back again
Assuming a teenager at the counter didn’t know the difference between a normal return and a faulty return. Have had it happen before to me and had to point out the faulty part and they swapped it no issues once the brain cells clicked over. | 0 |

1d2azzc | Northcote Aquatic is great, if that's not too far. They have indoor and outdoor (heated) lap pools and you can book a lane online. And a shiny new gym. | 1 |
1cwahc0 | Being an Assistant Minister brings with it an additional $53K.
Of course, MT is assistant minister for a couple of portfolios, so removing that specific area of duty wont change that salary supplement.
Having an assistant minister with no policy of actually implementing anything opens a political line of attack with very little upside. | 0 |
1d4k6zi | Can you please explain how Waze helps? | 0 |
1cwtko0 | There is an argument that you can capitalise on that good will by securing an election win early.
You never know what might happen: if the economy falls off a cliff over Xmas, Labor will be wishing they pulled the trigger this year. | 0 |

1cxlqov | You get what you pay for. Renewables are not significant enough in quantity or reliable enough to power the entire country. Places like California in the States have had to learn this the hard way as they moved too aggressively to renewables causing rolling blackouts in peak periods. Let's not repeat their mistake. | 0 |
1cxv5kt | The last time we made the mistake of accepting no details we suffered Abbott's 2014 Austerity Budget.
In this case, Dutton imposed his own deadline of revealing details of his Nuclear Power Plants, Housing, and Immigration for 16 May during his Budget Reply speech. Then he backflipped, and now Taylor is scrambling. | 0 |

1d0met9 | My ex sister in law went to a child's christening party with trapeze artists, other circus performers and they had the singer Mya perform for $30,000. The gift everyone received at the end (like bombonieres) was fighting fish in little fish tanks; which I thought was an incredibly stupid, unnecessary, and thoughtless. | 0 |
1d31bfw | So it's always led by housing costs, which Labor does nothing to address. I know there aren't quick fixes on supply and a lot of it is State problems, but if you mean to tell me Albo couldn't be using the bully pulpit to encourage vacancy taxes, Airbnb crackdowns, threats of GST allocations linked to housing supply and capping immigration numbers to 2-people-per-new-home-builtd-the-year-prior you're kidding yourself.
I know theres plenty of pressure from the development lobby and others to not do any of this, but at what point does your desire for political survival trump pleasing your corporate overlords? If there's a rate rise they will fall into Minority next election, and if it's more then one potentially losing. How dumb do they have to be to not see the writing on the wall that doing nothing isn't a winner? | 0 |

1cwhypl | How about he just reduces the price of power by $275 like he promised dozens and dozens of times. Then this wouldn't be an issue.
People can downvote reality all they want but if they kept their promise to reduce power prices by $275 below pre-election prices Australians would have an additional ~$750 per year in their pockets and this wouldn't be necessary. | 0 |
1d3p306 | Back when London and New York were building subways, Melbourne was busy becoming was the richest city in the world and the second-largest (after London) in the British Empire.
However Melbourne also has a history has of really poor government, a tradition that remains today. | 0 |

Not sure it's a thing though, is there any indigenous culture left in England? Druids perhaps? | 0 |
1d60iqa | The markets are usually the best bet (Queen Vic/Dandenong/South Melbourne ect). Anywhere that moves a good volune will be getting it in fresh. Buy stuff from Australia (only exception I make is Golden Pomfret from Malaysia) and its likely to be good and fresh.
I found the shopping centre ones to be more expensive and awful, for this reason.
The seafood market is at the ports near Kensington. All the wholesalers/fishers/importers set up there. The markets and retail sellers go there to buy it (its not open to the public before you start asking).
From there it goes to markets/shops for the public to buy.
The other good option is Costco. They move a huge volume so its usually fresh and reasonably priced. Buy in bulk, portion it and freeze it. Cook in the oven. | 1 |

Seriously if labor had the track record of some of the liberals members and their short comings and questionable morals, they’d never be voted in again.. yet when it’s the Libs in plain sight no one bats an eyelid! | 0 |

1d4rhnw | I don't need to sell my model to anyone, it's what we already have. The legal and political position is that the default is whatever we have now.
If you want us to have a republic, then it's your job to come up with a model people actually want, to get your MPs to present it to parliament, and then to get a majority of voters in a majority of states support it.
I don't need to do anything to keep my King. He's with us until republicans get their shit together and present a better alternative. Which means he's with us for the life of the Commonwealth of Australia, since the republicans can only ever choose alcoholics and lefty sportspeople and failed ALP MPs as their leaders, so they'll never come up with an inspiring vision.
Love live the King! | 1 |
1d4kufy | Bean In The Woods in ringwood, amazing staff and owner | 1 |
1d2y11s | With furniture and home items, my style is mid century/vintage and definitely Australian made. Obviously second-hand too, which is better for the environment.
Most of my clothes are also preloved, but I would never purchase any fast fashion brands and I do like to know where they were made. As another person mentioned Ugg boots, I do buy the original Australian ones.
With food, it can get trickier beyond the local greengrocer & in-season fruit & veg. (I’m vegetarian, so that cuts the butcher out). I will read labels, but also consider the company that made it. Nestlé and the brands they own won’t get my money. | 1 |

1d4im5u | Because people turning into the street (like the van) can very easily clip the corner and take your front bumper off. Red car isn't doing anything wrong.
If the street isn't suitable for right turning (from the van or the red car) then submit a complaint/request to have it reviewed. You might be right in that the traffic controls need to be amended. | 0 |

1d3xmly | Seems pretty weird for employers to do, because at least in the case of doctors and vets, its not like it's hard to google their name and find where they've gone.
If their practice wants to keep patients who like them, they should try harder to keep the vet/dr.. | 0 |
1cyj589 | I want cheap and reliable energy that is the least worst option.
Right now, the most affordable option to keep the lights on that is better than coal, is gas. | 1 |
1d4xibc | Yes, "resignation" should not be required - just mark the person as "do not roster".
Even if you did have to rehire to cover them, for casuals it doesn't matter, because there is no requirement to take them back after their holiday - that would be a simple decision when they came back of "do I need staff now, or not?"
Only reason I can think of is that it would be paperwork to explain why the person was marked "no longer employed" in the payroll and/or rostering computer system. Keeps it neat and tidy? | 0 |
1d4hjjp | Go to a podiatrist and get a ‘medical pedicure’. They might even do a deep moisture treatment if you need it. | 1 |
1cwz4zo | I agree. I, however, do not think the government needs to add privacy invading age checkers on websites. | 0 |

1d3w59e | I’m all for a human rights charter, however I am cynical that it would actually make any difference in many of these types of cases. Robodebt was already unjustifiable under our current legal system, or even under the most basic level of scrutiny.
This is why the state is now up for huge sums in compensation for the wholly foreseeable harms it caused.
The problem we face is that ministers are willing to breach the laws for short term electoral gains. Being able to claim a balanced budget when they know full well that it was going to swing back and hit us in the chin after the next election cycle, but they did it anyway because that was future Australia’s problem.
Doubling down on extrajudicial sentencing after the high court has already ruled it out, shows that the bastardry is bipartisan.
If robodebt and asylum seeker policy is anything to go by, the electorate is completely unwilling to hold these bastards accountable, because we collectively have the memory of a goldfish in low oxygen water.
It’s not just a matter of time before it happens again, as the same income averaging is being used today - they are currently using it to claim vexatious debts from my mother who died 2 and a half years ago. | 0 |
1d3stts | Because they don't want to pay for the damage? Them leaving means you pay $600 instead of $0 but it also means they pay $0 instead of probably a couple grand that the repairs would cost. | 0 |

You will be good while in the car but wind chill can be a problem along the coast. We often have fantastic winter days depending on weather systems on the day. Melbourne is well known for if you don't like our weather - wait 10 minutes. | 1 |

1d2g5iz | What a terrible approach to this issue. The messaging here is that even this results in addressing men's mental health, it isn't because society cares, it is because of men's violent and aggressive behavior. Which 1. Confirms their idea that society doesn't care about them, increasing negative sentiments toward the outside world. And 2, They get attention and help by being monsters.
Nothing women beaters will love more than a Parliamentary Secretary for Men’s Behaviour Change.
People with aggressive and less than healthy relationship with masculinity are going to love the messaging of "We are going to allocate a significant portion of our time and resources dedicated to changing who and what you are."
Way to stifle any chances of them entertaining anything you produce to help combat the issue with the first announcement.
Totally won't make all these volatile individuals even more aggressive and resistant to change. With this poorly thought out title, you have created an enemy the hyper aggressive masculinity types and women beaters can rally against together. | 0 |
1cqsjbd | > The OECD has recommended that Australia cut or reduce the largest subsidy, the Fuel Tax Credit Scheme, which alone cost the Federal Government $9.6 billion in 2023-24, more than Australia spends on the Royal Australian Air Force
A lot of people take issue with treating this as a fossil fuel subsidy, but I have been to corporate events in the mining industry where they are already discussing shifting on-site vehicles towards electric to save on fuel. Making them pay the same fuel prices as the rest of the country would only incentivise such shifts faster. | 0 |

1d23xgh | Im surprised. But honestly the ALP have done a bad job in terms of playing politics.
The population for 2 years has been saying to do something about immigration/cost of living. They havent gotten on the front foot and shown they are doing something.
A bit like ScoMos fire blunder. Cost of living was a major issue and he had The Voice. That died down and he stopped tradies from coming and ramped up immigration. They had a big argument over some minor changes to taxes that everyone wanted indexed anyway. He was given benefit of the doubt and now he has come out with a inflationary budget. People are saying when is he going to do something about cost of living.
Im not saying he doesnt care or he isnt doing anything. Im talking about the spin. He needs to recover the frame that he is the one to be voted in to handle cost of living. Thats always going to be a little tough for the ALP due to peoples perception as the LNP being better at managing the books. But him leaving it for so long hasnt given people confidence. He is running out of time. Because now anything that takes more than a year like essential infrastructure to improve housing supply is too late.
Now he is done with another budget. So he only has the one just before the election left which is too late.
Dutton has come out with a major decrease to immigration which a lot of the public perceive as being a silver bullet to cost of living (I dont personally agree). That has really put Albo on the back foot.
As I said with no budget until just before the next election he doesnt have much of a chance to reset the publics perception. The media will keep piling on with the landlord/private jet/out of touch stuff and Dutton will keep quiet. QLD a major swing state also has a crime problem and an ex police Qlder will probably do well.
I still think Albo can win a majority but he needs something big to turn it around. Like a bushfire/refugee boats/covid that can be used politically to readjust perceptions. Otherwise its going to be a coalition with Greens/Teal or a slight Liberal victory. | 0 |
1ctvihi | I don’t see how australia will ever have wage growth / living standards growth being inflation ever again.
Just look at aged care and NDIS. All of these are net consumptive which have to be paid for.
I’d suspect if you took into account welfare per capita it would show compared to 2010 that it is higher in real terms. | 0 |

1cuq695 | The solutions are all there plain as day but the government won’t do it as they are political suicide.
1. Spam public housing everywhere, like, literally everywhere, enough to cut wait list down to a minimal amount of time. And/or
2. Protect renters, right now we treat them like dirt, if we protect them there will be a bunch of long term renters which reduces demand to buy, and therefore lower prices
Problem is, either or both of these will be viciously attacked by the media, the right wing pollies, and the ones who currently own assets (just look at poor bill who tried a gentle touch removal of negative gearing). Opinions will need to sway a lot more for any of this to happen. | 0 |
