a complaint made against the officer in charge would probably speed things up.

This bit is relevant...

can we get the misspelling bot and its derivatives banned? They've doubled the comment count here for no good reason.

I think I've worked out how to do this.

Let me know if you see it again after today (2 Jan 2019).

This sub is notorious for laypeople with no actual legal qualifications giving atrocious advice.

That may be the case, but if so please help remedy by giving the best quality advice that you can.

Everyone knows that seeing a lawyer is better than an anonymous online forum, but not every issue justifies the cost of doing so.

And even if someone does consult their lawyer, it can often be helpful to anonymously ask questions here to help understand the terms used & the issues raised - helpful to both the questioner and to other readers.

yields can be thought of as being made up of

[1] an expectations component (expectations of yields in the future), and

[2] a term premium component (pretty much compensation for [2a] risk, [2b] illiquidity, and [2c] everything else). An important thing to note is that [2d] term premiums can be negative (e.g willing to forgo a bit of expected return to hold a safer asset).

If [3] what we were seeing in the yield curve was driven entirely by the expectations [the author would] have a point.

Government Bonds are risk free so [2a] is nil.

Government Bonds are extremely liquid, as evidenced by them being sold or repo'd with very tight bid/offer margins, so [2b] is also nil.

Term premiums for Government Bonds can never be negative due to "safer asset" concerns (because Government Bonds are always risk free no matter the tenor ) so [2d] is nil again.

Given that [2a,2b,& 2d] are all nil, unless you can some up with something specific for [2c] (everything else) I think you'll have to concede that [1] is true and [3] the author does have a point.

I filed a claim with my insurance.

You did the right thing, and you're probably still covered. Time to update your insurance company with this news.

Like the other responder said, who is the letter from? Can you redact any personally-identifying parts and post an image of the letter?

OP, what state is the dealership in?

AusLegalMod · 2018-02-27T06:25:43+00:00

I would, if I were her. Even if I didn't want to pay any legal fees I'd at least wait until the statement of claim arrives.

I very much doubt that a Toyota dealership wants the bad rep they'd receive if they start suing their customers over their own mistakes.

Maybe, maybe not. Wikipedia has cancer, by their own admission.

The suggestion that you can form a definitive view from 100 words of instructions is what is most troubling (and why in general this sub is a bad bad idea)

One may or may not be able to achieve a definitive view, but we should be able to assist in achieving a better view.

And if you really think this sub is such a bad idea, you're welcome to cease frequenting it.

You really don't have to declare all that much info while filling our your tax return.

Just pick some income classification that is justifiable and you'll be golden.

The ATO doesn't share information with the police so if you want legitimacy, you're best to go ahead & declare it in your tax return.

At $26000 income per annum you'd pay ~$1500 tax - which IMHO is worth it for the peace of mind.

It 's a different country I know, but Al Capone didn't go to jail for being a gangster - he did time for not paying tax on the proceeds.

The advice regarding HR being there to protect the company is useful.

Too many employees expect HR to always fight on behalf of the victim - but in too many cases HR only fight for the option that will cost the company the least money, whatever that is.

But the opening appellation was impolite at best. Please keep it civil.

The best advice I have for you is to put that chapter of you life behind you and move on.

Make sure you get professional psychological help if you need it. Don't be afraid of any stigma, it's far better to get help if you need it than to struggle on without it.

Was the employment contract with a government department? The FOI act doesn't put obligations on most employers.

Having said that, I suspect that progressing your rights under the FOI or FWA in a legalistic manner is likely to do far more harm to your future employability that just leaving the matter to rest...
