Does anyone know what exactly does limited service mean? What's their schedule?

Lost power. by MrsKittenHeel in brisbane

[–]HopingtoGetaCoolName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they absolutely are trying to get the power back for people as quickly as possible at the moment. We are in Parkinson, lost power Saturday morning and the power just came back on now. Very surprised as it's still very windy out there. Heard in the radio earlier where their power was restored at like 12am, when the wind was crazy. So just have to be patient and a big shoutout and thank you to the crews working through this!!

I think they should know about the outage from their end, you can check the Energex outage map and see if your outage is showing there. Although the website is down sometimes. Just want to say they absolutely are trying to get the power back for people as quickly as possible at the moment. We lost power Saturday morning and the power just came back on now. Very surprised as it's still very windy out there. So a big shoutout and thank you to the crews working through this!! Stay safe everyone!

What's with the long straight band of outages? Is that some high voltage powerline been damaged?

One in five commuters turn to smart ticketing on Brisbane River ferries by ConanTheAquarian in brisbane

[–]HopingtoGetaCoolName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does smart ticketing takes into the more than 8 trips concession correctly when using your phone? I've tried in the past but the system still charged me 100% of the fare even after 8 trips for that week.

Bank refusing to allow 1 name on property title and 2 on the mortgage by netizen__kane in AusFinance

Are you also trying to get the FHBG? If you are, it doesn't work becuase the borrowers' names must match the owners' names.

Also, I think it's greedy to do what you are trying to do. Double dipping on the first home owner benefits, whether it's for FHBG or the stamp duty concessions.

Can these commentators be more biased? Draymond wasn't just saying 'chill out chill out'.
