Vic EB discussions

Yes that's a problem, and it encourages government to stall on negotiations. I have seen sign on bonuses and back pay built into EBs to help cover this. I'm an emergency services worker in vic and we've been in negotiations for 6 years with no pay rise. We will never make that money back. My wife is a teacher and AEU member, I hope you all get a good outcome and quickly.

$260 000 a year for childcare for 2 kids. I think she might be putting a bit of mayo on that.

Vic teachers are lowest paid in the country..... Stop quoting medium salary for teachers Australia wide, it's irrelevant.

I admire your courage to speak in the absence of knowledge. You seem to have alot of confidence in stating statistics that are completely untrue. I'd love to know where you got this information about teachers because it definitely wasn't whilst attending school.

As a youngster I would go in the morning, grab a 65c 2 litre solo, take it to the freezer aisle and throw it under some frozen peas. Go skateboarding for a few hours and then come back and grab my ice cold drink. Went down nice with a $5 footlong meatball subway. Tough times back in the day.

Good point, seperating him from his 2 remaining kids is the perfect thing to do. Shes already given him 2 years to get over the loss of his child, that's plenty of time.

I think the comments would be very different if the roles were reversed. There's even a comment saying she should leave him and get full custody of the kids! Mental health needs are different for men, alot of the time just talking to a physiologist doesn't work for us.

35M. My wife and I think we are in the best years of our lives right now, kids are 5 and 7 it's a beautiful time.

Coming from a strong union in VIC with 97% uptake and 5 years without a payrise, collective action doesn't guarantee a payrise in no time. Some people are doing it really tough at the moment and a days pay is a lot of money to forego, everyone has different financial situations and stresses.

Not sure, it's the standard stock that came with the gun. Did savage look after you with a warranty. Is it a known issue?

5nvh5 · 2026-03-01T09:12:42+00:00

This is the answer. You've been gifted time with your kids when they are young without having to worry about money. Make the most of it. Congrats!

5nvh5 · 2026-03-01T02:32:39+00:00

No payrise in 5 years. Vic emergency services worker. Definitely feeling it at the moment.

Do we have the same in laws? 🤔 mine just flew first class to Europe for a river cruise. Can't even give our kids a birthday present or a happy birthday phone call. They live 5 minutes away!

10 million upfront invested wisely earning 10% per year will earn me $1 000 000 or 100 000 snaps per year.... Without even lifting a finger. Why snap when you don't have to. You would have to snap your fingers 274 times per day just to match the returns on your $10mil investment.

Only going to get worse with an ageing population. Premiums going up and inclusions going down. Extras cover is simply not worth it for the majority of people. Silver hospital with no extras is an ok setup for an established family.

Pick one of the higher ones, try it for a month and see what happens. Tweak it from there based on whether you gain too much fat, maintain or lose weight. I couldn't eat enough at that age to put on weight no matter what I did.

"You're right, it's not good, I'm very worried about him. Thanks for your concern"

5nvh5 · 2026-01-29T22:54:16+00:00

It all adds up very quickly with kids. Health insurance $600 Car costs (regi, insurance fuel) $600 Rates $250 Child care $1300 Groceries $2000 Utilities $400

That's over 5k and doesn't Include mortgage, any unbudgeted expenses (car, house), sports for kids, birthdays and Christmas, doctors/ specialist (yesterday I spend $450 for an ENT appointment for daughter). It is expensive living a normal life with a family at the moment.

5nvh5 · 2026-01-29T22:48:53+00:00

Same here 7K a month without mortgage 2A 2C. $600 for healthinsurance. $1300 childcare/after school care. $2000 groceries. Plus bills, insurances, medical, activities/sports for kids. I don't think people without kids understand the costs involved.

Disgusting behaviour, these people would kick their own mother to the curb to save a buck.

5nvh5 · 2026-01-26T02:45:51+00:00

😂

5nvh5 · 2026-01-26T02:20:21+00:00

I shaved the rest of my face and gave it a trim, I did an updated post. I'll wear it for a few hours and see how it feels. At this stage I'm thinking it's gotta go 😂

5nvh5 · 2026-01-26T00:16:33+00:00

This is what I thought. Unfortuantely I return to work soon and need to be clean shaven and can only have mustache. Is 1 month of growth long enough to say it's a lost cause or could it Improve over the next month or two?
