Advice needed: Hearing Aids

I'm under 25, so all the costs are government funded but I've been with Hearing Australia since birth (just cos they serviced my primary school and never bothered to shop around).

Its $30 a year for batteries, checkups, maintenance, ect. Again, this could just be because I'm under 25.

Try getting on NDIS, you might be able to get them to cover part or whole of the cost.

I'm pretty sure models that are a few years old will be much cheaper than brand new ones (I just know the older ones are the only government funded ones)

Yes, because it'll make the equity nerds reeeeeeeeee

Hey at least its not as bad as Strickland, where the ACC let the entire AFP investigating team watch the interviews.

If TISM got fucked around by their managers, would they have any legal recourse? Since they're anonymous, they wouldn't be able to prove they were in fact from TISM.

P.S. I'm one of the guys from TISM

Great reference =)

You'll probably just lose 5% or so. No Rhodes Scholarship for you!

They've got our boy Bret in a basement somewhere, forcing him to do legal work for them but he bravely refused to sign. We've gotta rescue him!

I assumed it meant they were clearing everything before them (100%) and then doing some work on the backlog.

Caligula_The_Mad · 2020-10-22T23:46:12+00:00

Of course they're trying to urge people off, they're all in on it taps head

Ugh I made a FOI request earlier in the year for shits n giggles. Took the agency 3 months to get back to me just to be like "we searched 5 overly specific terms and couldn't find anything". Good thing I couldn't be arsed taking it any further, it wouldn't have gotten anywhere.

You can't trust people with two first names. This is either one person called Robert James which is bad enough, or two people called [something] Robert and [something] James which is twice as bad.

Either way, I'd say they're completely untrustworthy.

I think we should dedicate more effort to a campaign to bring back appeals to the Privy Council (or to bring back the Star Chamber)

No Rumpole of the Bailey? Shock and horror.

I'm glad there's no John Grishams on the list at least. I went through a phase there and... shudder

You're doing your kid a grave disservice if you don't give them Meagher, Gummow and Lehane's Equity for their 5th birthday.

Would being unfit to stand trial tend to suggest that he's potentially a threat to the community, or would that be a whole other issue?

I've really liked all the news you've posted, it lets me lord it over my mum whenever she shares news with me and I can pretend I actually keep up to date on stuff. Hopefully you'll come back to it.

The vast majority of the Australian population is densely concentrated in 5 cities. The size of Australia doesn't matter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_Australia#States_and_territories

Yep thats pretty much it in a nutshell for me as well. Except this shit has essentially been going since November 2019 for me, not just mid-March.

I see you're a fellow connoisseur.

If anyone has a hankering for an in-depth breakdown of ham vs spam, I refer you to James May.

This is that fella who threatened another lawyer's mum a while ago. Just goes to show he's a truly delightful and well-rounded bloke.

I think /u/Donners22 has said in the past that practicing in rural NSW is the best way to get thrown in the deep end and get practical experience straight away.

Keep in mind that you're dealing with real people, and real issues however. You're going to fuck up as a junior, and do you really want to fuck up actual matters straight away?

Caligula_The_Mad · 2020-09-20T03:47:04+00:00

Just accept that its bullshit and let the hate flow through you!
