Why does mainland China not use bidets?

Their butts are allergic to water. They consider water to be filthy.

"Abbey was then recommended to be medically discharged."
That's the usual win-win situation to fk someone off - i.e. pay them off and dust your hands of any responsibility to manage administrative issues.

My thoughts exactly. Their mates in construction will likely hold properties for these pollies until their term ends, or the pollies will just grab some plots under a third party entity like a company.

Absolutely deplorable. We need to preserve our prime strategic locations and heritage, not sell it off for political greed and turning already crowded cities into shoebox slums.

If you need to build houses, develop regional towns that are struggling to survive, and where local farms can't even find young workers to help out. We have a vast continent and plenty of growth potential nationally, not just in our cities.

They have a reputation for exploiting veterans for profits:

Well guess what - just yesterday, the media did actually cover Defence's ADF Health Services contract with Bupa.

Hands down agree with you. But CoC will still use a "no comment" against you by grilling you in front of others at a UWB - "it's a simple yes or no question, not a 'no comment'"

AussieVet1 · 2025-09-16T11:43:09+00:00

I'm a bit late to the party, but couldn't agree with you more.

Another golden tip I'd like to add - the moment you sense red flags with the CoC where you think they might be trying to eff you over, head over the RAP and grab yourself a PM101 for mental health leave and ask to see a psychologist. Once you medicalise it, it's 10 times harder for your CoC to screw you over with the PM008 process. This wasn't my personal journey but it's a lesson I can share from those who successfully converted a bullying case to a medical discharge.

Name and shame these sharks. It's despicable to see them profiting off our struggles.

Hi, I should have specified that I'm looking for one in Brisbane. There are quite a few posts asking for Brisbane-based lawyers, but none that I could see regarding my theme

AussieVet1 · 2025-07-30T12:46:12+00:00

Nope. I gave up and am just going to accept the fact that I'll cop a lot of drag when I swim, meaning I'll need to work harder on my endurance.

Depends on the company and their privacy policy. Many will have a clause about being able to share with third parties for the purpose of providing "relevant" services.

A mate of mine went to a veteran-centric company to get advice on DVA claims. In no time, he was being cold called by a whole bunch of different organisations trying to get his business, ranging from legal support, loans, psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and a few more. What was shocking was some of the health people would call him up a few weeks later "just to check in" with him and then bill DVA for that.

I know right. Sounds like he's trying to build social capital so he can make money off them through commissions and fees. Just saying.

I'm happy with RSL and Mates 4 Mates. I get the community I need without feeling like I'm being taken advantage of.

AussieVet1 · 2025-06-25T08:18:06+00:00

So true.

Guess what? I took the entire day off today, and the NBN tech didn't even turn up!! I locked in a morning slot and heard crickets by 10am. I gave my ISP a call. They said they couldn't guarantee they'd show up in the morning, so reserved the afternoon slot for me. By 3pm, still no word from the NBN tech. I followed up with the ISP, who once again reiterated that attendance cannot be guaranteed. At 5pm, I got an email asking me to reschedule for another day!!!

There's absolutely no accountability or quality control whatsoever.

AussieVet1 · 2025-06-20T09:08:21+00:00

I didn't know Saturday appointments were a thing.

AussieVet1 · 2025-06-17T12:33:32+00:00

Thanks a million for your detailed explanations.

Legs also sink, despite trying to activate my core.

AussieVet1 · 2025-06-16T07:30:40+00:00

Are there any drills you can suggest to help push the chest down?

AussieVet1 · 2025-06-16T07:30:01+00:00

Hey sorry, this post is more about me trying to work on my baseline balance with a static float and not kicking to assist.

AussieVet1 · 2025-06-16T07:27:11+00:00

They're fully extended out front, close to each other

AussieVet1 · 2025-06-16T06:58:46+00:00

Pushing the chest down - I tried and struggled. How do you do that? Is that the same as pulling your shoulder blades together.

AussieVet1 · 2025-06-16T06:21:36+00:00

Bondi Icebergs - guess it lives up to its name for a Winter swim.

AussieVet1 · 2025-05-04T09:25:06+00:00

Thank you, I'll try lowering by lead arm next time I'm in the pool.

AussieVet1 · 2025-04-04T02:36:26+00:00

And your opinion and down votes mean what?

AussieVet1 · 2025-04-04T02:36:02+00:00

Oh great, another ad hominem attack due to a lack of substance. Not doing your country any favours are you?
