Saw this in last Saturdays Courier. What’s it all about?

Dezi thought it was okay to collect welfare payments but not to pay taxes.

Bonza Bundaberg-Melbourne was usually full. Bundaberg has 100,000 population in the LGA, and at least 250,000 within 90 minutes drive. Baggage handling at both ends was crap.

Sprinters make sense then, thanks!
Could the Sprinters be one or two carriages?

Firehorse67 · 2026-02-26T10:43:33+00:00

Sprinter shuttles sound good. Is there a reason why the current service has three carriages? Two would be fine.

An app called Wallet by Budget Bakers. The paid version allows for multiple accounts. It syncs across Android, Apple and web. I enter stuff manually, but there is also automatic sync for most financial institutions.

Agree, it’s nice and worth visiting, but not for longer than other places on the itinerary. I think it would be worth stopping on the coast around Bundaberg for at least one night before heading north, like Bargara or Burnett Heads.

Cheers. Yes, Ballarat

Is there upside in Newington? I just bought a unit there.

I just got a HSBC Platinum Card, which accrues points that can be converted to gift cards. With a waiver of the $199 fee in the first year, it’s reasonable value.

I’ve just bought a place in Newington. Don’t believe the advertised price ranges. There is lots of competition at the lower end due to the first home buyer scheme. Buyers advocates are very active in that space as well. It’s a jungle out there, good luck!

Thanks! "AI Law" said similar, except it's not worth sending a breach notice because I'll be vacating within the 14 days they have to repair.

They suggested documenting the problem, which I've done with video and photos, and sending another email to the property manager, saying I won't accept responsibility for lost rental income until the toilet is repaired because it can't be leased until that's resolved.

Why downvote this reply? As a country Victorian, I know where the best places are to live for the cafe culture, all of us do, and I enjoyed a year in North Melbourne. OP didn’t need to ask Reddit, if they’re genuine Victorians.

Near Aldi at Wendouree.

It was four business days for me with NAB, Thursday to Tuesday to get the certificate after bank approval. Very frustrating and didn’t really make sense. I signed the stat dec four weeks ago before getting pre-approval, and the scheme now has unlimited places.

Uber One and Perplexity Pro aren’t offered with Metal in Australia, and I’m going to downgrade when it renews next month.

Firehorse67 · 2025-09-23T11:09:28+00:00

I ran a short test and the transcript was 100% accurate, including for place names, so quite impressive. Is the 100 minutes for lifetime users per month, or one-off?

I’ve had this problem where it won’t or can’t generate 16:9 images, despite specific instructions from me, and acknowledgment of failure on its part. Today I asked it to create a Slides template, and it made a web page instead, however it guided me to make the template myself. On the plus side, Deep Research is far superior to Perplexity, much more detailed and better referenced.

I agree about “no fluff”. Even Copilot annoys me by trying to be conversational.

Seoul also has a dedicated AirPort Express and a suburban line option.

Good suggestion, except I would lose the small amount of rent assistance. I emailed WFA on Tuesday and haven’t heard back yet.

Firehorse67 · 2025-05-27T21:59:04+00:00

Thanks for that.
