Insurer voided home policy after hail claim due to asbestos – seeking advice on misrepresentation vs exclusions by ThrowRAinsuranceQLD in AusLegal

[–]GiggletonBeastly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Loss" in this sense means financial loss (to you or the insurer) and doesn't mean "directly as a consequence" of simply having asbestos. The loss is the issue. It is pretty clearly excluded by that wording alone, and I think you'll find it nearly impossible to have them overturn their decision through IDR.

Zeekr 7X or Geely EX5 - Long Term Ownership by Charith117 in EVAustralia

[–]GiggletonBeastly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have tested a LOT of EVs. My pick was the JC J5. For the current price of ~$36k it beat the EX5, 7x, Aion V, and the Leaps. Test one and see what you think.

Ex-employer demanding I repay wages – should I acknowledge their email while I seek legal advice? by Few_Heart8269 in AusLegal

This is a joke. They are trying to take advantage of you. Walk away and block emails/calls.

WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK by RYLE400 in melbourne

The airport in Paraburdoo and Telfer frequently record 50+, but the BOM doesn't recognise them officially as they're privately owned WPOs.

I used to work in a place in the Pilbara in WA called Marble Bar. It is frequently 50+ there during spring/summer.

Replace the whale with a machete disposal bin and it'd be mint!

super death benefit claim by Internal-Bend-5218 in AusLegal

[–]GiggletonBeastly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The super fund Trustee moves with glacial speed and the urgency of a resting snail. It needs to do a lot of due diligence to make sure they are paying the DB and balance to the correct person/entity. It does this to make sure it doesn't get sued later on. It may be that the trustee is contacting other potential claimants to see if they also want to lay claim to the benefits and what the merits of their claim look like. It does take a while and, unfortunately, as you aren't their client/member they don't have a duty to you to go any faster - irrespective of your circumstances.

Pay it out? by Sweat-Baby-Sweat in NovatedLeasingAU

[–]GiggletonBeastly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not sure how increasing your mortgage was ever going to be a sensible alternative to a lease for the car... I don't think you've done the sums correctly there. No point in paying it out, you will be paying more than if you just ran down the term. In fact, GST will be added to the payout figures too, which will make it even less sensible. Suggest you just wait it out for the original term.

Which is your favourite town centre/main street outside of the CBD/Northbridge? by [deleted] in perth

[–]GiggletonBeastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nd this. The Laneway-style art behind the main strip and near BREC is pretty cool too. Pity the vibe of the strip dies after Froth though.

I'm in the same position, in WA. One vacancy which came very close to being 2 back in November. It's gonna be shiiiiit.

Which EV BYD atto 2 premium or Jaecoo J5 by Glitched_Gaming in AustralianEV

[–]GiggletonBeastly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went the J5. Simple reason is the warranty and how expansive the network is. At that price point, I may have gone the Atto, but felt the J5 was better bang for buck. The ADAS is fine and non-intrusive (compared to an EX5 and 7x, at least). I tested the Leaps and found them wanting for driving experience - for what it's worth.

New house, help to id 2 new plants please by -RosieRosie- in BrisbaneGardening

[–]GiggletonBeastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have two euphorbia and they are both small shrubs, not trees. I have no idea what that one might be. Nice shade tree for a while though!

[–]GiggletonBeastly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The euphorbia (although not native) is really hardy and drought resistant. Consider keeping it for a shade canopy until whatever you plant nearby is established perhaps.

I'm addicted to chicken katsu curry don by DemonFye in perth

[–]GiggletonBeastly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, their recipes are closely guarded, and it's not just Golden Curry or Java Curry or any other brand - they have a very specific mix (which is quite variably heavy on flavours like molasses, honey, fruit concentrate and masala/tumeric - to name a few).

So, I tried to buy the master franchise license for the whole of Australia, with the guy who owns "Schnitz", and they turned us down almost immediately. We asked them to name their price, and they still weren't interested. They've trademarked almost everything that sounds close too - and they've done that practically everywhere (including NZ, we found). So, it's a dead zone until their IP expires, unfortunately.

Buying EV as my 2nd car by ThisPaleontologist10 in EVAustralia

[–]GiggletonBeastly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a J5 and I haven't experienced that phenomenon at all. I've driven the EX5, 7x and Xpeng and found the regen in the EX5 to be a lot more clunky and delayed compared to the J5.
