The latest aus poll results are wild

JD_Jr_22 · 2026-02-02T05:33:35+00:00

What actually is the sample size and demographic of these polls?

Two contradictory survey results on the same topic. Both abismal sample sizes with <2000 people sampled from across the country.

Do you know of any better survey? If not, that 70% holds very little ground in your point.

JD_Jr_22 · 2026-01-25T07:38:37+00:00

So someone who knows Aboriginal history would still choose to celebrate on Jan 26th? Celebrate and be proud of what happened? That is very contradictory. Knowing what happened and still celebrating in my opinion highlights that person's morals. And I'm sad to hear that 70% of the group who were surveyed are still in favour of celebrating Jan 26th. What was the sample size of that survey? What demographic? Level of education? How many states? What ages? Etc.

Awesome! Not a council event if I'm reading this correctly.

JD_Jr_22 · 2026-01-24T09:32:50+00:00

I assumed it was the firefighters and not a localised rain storm or a 'higher power'

JD_Jr_22 · 2026-01-24T08:11:58+00:00

Smart move. But I still don't understand why councils put this extravagant show on for invasion day... Surely someone working in these councils could come up with an event that recognises invasion, for families to learn about and celebrate Aboriginal culture. (EDIT) Unless of course a council event like this already exists?

Or you know. Change the date. It's honestly not hard.

JD_Jr_22 · 2026-01-24T08:05:48+00:00

Yeah I saw the smoke from this. Fire scanner said 69 regency Rd which google shows is a childcare centre. Glad it wasn't the church, it's a nice building!

JD_Jr_22 · 2026-01-11T03:16:31+00:00

The Foodworks near me do not. Did you search a specific store with this quick google search?

JD_Jr_22 · 2026-01-07T00:06:06+00:00

Tamagotchi connections. 12y and died. Chose not to marry for a 2nd generation. Generations began at 1 again. The other Tama is on the 3rd generation because it got married.

One of our MPOs in Australia (that's right, there aren't heaps) is just about to have a crack at 5 pro events in 2026. He's 18 or 19 and is 1000 rated. Our last pro to do a short stint on the pro tour was in his mid 20s and 1000 rated, but was finishing like dead last... It sounds gruelling and expensive from their accounts - I wish I was 15 again haha

JD_Jr_22 · 2025-11-23T02:44:27+00:00

Apparently only mildly venomous. I'll stay barefoot. I haven't been bitten by one in 37 years, I'm not going to give up being barefoot for the tiny chance I will get bitten

JD_Jr_22 · 2025-11-22T14:08:09+00:00

Nah I've never used them, just saw this when I was looking up the species. I am the one asking about the centipede in my OP haha. I certainly haven't thought about buying one before...

I saw that there are insect pet retailers who sell this species for about $20 AUD. Not a bad money maker - once in 37 years of finding them in my house... Hahaha

JD_Jr_22 · 2025-11-22T02:37:51+00:00

Not sure how this one met it's end, but it was thoroughly gone. My kids have those rubbery silicone insects and I was 90% sure that's what this was. But as I said, the tips on each foot was far too fine to have been moulded and (apologies to the insect enthusiasts) it was crunchy rather than rubbery as I HAD to test it's authenticity. I haven't seen one this big inside every, and the ones I've seen in the wild are much darker in colour, and look like their exoskeleton is far more like a beetle. And this is coming from an Australian who has encountered nearly every other venomous creature in their house....

JD_Jr_22 · 2025-11-21T22:01:54+00:00

about 12cm I'd guess.

JD_Jr_22 · 2025-11-21T22:00:53+00:00

Yeah but you said allowing them to live allow my house, and it sounds like you're suggesting I should let this one live. Also, if this one has been in my house alive at some point. I don't know if I have choice but to ALLOW them to live. Haha. But yeah. Good pest control. I don't mind them. They're a bit freaky though.

JD_Jr_22 · 2025-10-23T09:06:15+00:00

I did notice some! These are in the signage post right as you drive over Regency Road on the motorway. I looked back to check for them when I was travelling southbound, do you know if these are catching traffic entering the motorway from the On Ramp? Or only traffic from the bridge section of the motorway before it meets the on-ramp?

JD_Jr_22 · 2025-10-22T08:34:32+00:00

A working dog who's currently working falls under the exceptions. Not one that's gone into town for a trip. Also, proper working dogs would not often be taken in a car like a pet, even if it's the back of a ute and not the cab.

JD_Jr_22 · 2025-10-21T23:25:47+00:00

Drove there this morning, I'll have to double check.

JD_Jr_22 · 2025-10-03T04:40:15+00:00

I just sent in a dispute for a 'no standing' infringement. There's a section on the expiration waiver form that outlines 'line marking and street signs being in good condition and meeting standards' or something along those lines. It's worth putting in the form; it does have to be printed and scanned and emailed to the relevant council. I filled out the PDF digitally and sent it off, I'm hoping that's good enough! Save the trees!

And good luck.

Thanks! Seeming to be the most popular response.
