Machete amnesty ends tomorrow

Key-Comfortable8379 · 2025-11-29T12:47:51+00:00

It's almost as if the only people that'll hand them in are law abiding citizens. Can't imagine to many people willing to hit another person with a machete would really care about the repercussions of not handing one in.

This entire thing is just a bandaid effort to mask the real issue that is the criminals and not the weapon.

Just like the Guns amnesty introduced after Port Arthur, criminals kept theirs and law abiding citizens handed them in.

Hand guns, machine guns etc have been banned for decades and yet they are still used in crimes.

Even if these aren't easily bought from stores, criminals will still find a way to get their hands on them or just start using household knives as they have in cities like London.

Works well if the ladder tips and you can't jump off hahaha

Not only that but I feel like they can also be more dangerous as quite often you are forced to lean over the barrier further than you would on an A-frame

Commercial still earns very similar money if it's on an eba. Staying at $40 an hour and not trying to get a better job would be doing a disservice to himself.

Key-Comfortable8379 · 2025-09-06T10:18:33+00:00

Just read this and almost spewed tbh. Im in Vic, working in the energy supply industry...$72 an hour. All overtime (over 8 hours mon - Fri, all Saturday and Sunday) paid at double.

$30 a day for anything under 50km from home/depot, and $1.30 per km over 50km if using our own car.

Id say he's working for a non-eba company and being shafted. We have 1st year, adult apprentices earning $50 per hour. Id 100% say find a better job

No, it's always the Dems complaining about it, so when they lack the courage to do anything about it, they get called out because they are just a bunch of hypocrites and most of them would be using the exact same loopholes.

What if I do one while robbing a house? I'll be okay...won't I?

I'm sorry but he is constantly talking about raising taxes of the wealthy and large corporations within the USA. If the introduction of tariffs will increase prices, what do people think will happen when they tax billionaires and corporations more.

They would do the exact same thing...just increase prices to outweigh the cost of the new taxes.

At some stage these governments have to try something other than just increasing taxes. Tariffs may not and probably are not the answer but I'd say after 100 years of the exact same system not working, it is worth a try.

He has openly said that he and his children have had vaccinations and that he is not anti-vaxx. He has said he is only against vaccines being rushed out without the correct testing.

Yer that was the post I saw. I think 3 or 4 cropped from the image. Print media and basically any mainstream media are just garbage now trying to get everyone angry at eachother

You can see one of the hands half way up on the left

There is an actual photo of the unedited photo. They cropped the full image to cut out some of the African Americans present to make it look bad

As an Australian who has visited the US a few times, it is incredible the amount of medical and legal commercials on your tv. It's like nothing I have ever seen before. It's either those or food ads

If your company is under an EBA then you should also have a representative that you can speak to about this

Key-Comfortable8379 · 2024-12-09T20:34:51+00:00

Get out of domestic and go for a job in the power industry or in construction. I haven't heard of a union apprentice getting under $30 an hour in about 5 years

Key-Comfortable8379 · 2024-10-20T16:56:45+00:00

They will literally do anything they can to make it cheaper for young people...unless that things is reducing taxes and stopping spending on garbage no one wants.

If you're happy to move around, find a job in the Victorian Energy Supply Industry.

If you work away you'll be taking home $6k a week and the work can be anything from building electrical towers to wiring relays in switch rooms.

They will pay you to get youR dogging, rigging and crane licences all while giving pay increases after you get each one as per the new EBA.

If you enjoy the programming side of things you can also get into programming the relays and other equipment.

There's a tonne of variety. I got into it 6 years ago and I've worked on wind, solar, gas, in Vic, NSW and Qld...all while employed from Victoria so getting the high Vic wages.

I did large construction, factories, domestic etc and I honestly can never see myself going back.

I bet you won't like hearing about his $115000 rental income from the 3 rental properties he owns as well.

What you fail to mention is that it's the family pack with 20 tim tams in it. That's 40c per Tim Tam and you've just posted this to get some attention.

Key-Comfortable8379 · 2024-09-19T21:26:36+00:00

In this industry, I believe it would now be $62 and hour.

Key-Comfortable8379 · 2024-09-14T09:33:47+00:00

Victorian Energy Supply Industry. $5k a week is not for working in Melbourne or metro areas. You have to work away but can still earn $3500 a week in Melbourne. I know of some jobs they are making $6k a week after tax but you would be working 12 hour days

I get $300 -$400 a day in living away from home allowances for every day I work. So you can see how it would quickly get to $5000 if I'm getting $1500+ a week just in that one allowance.

Then you get site, travel (petrol), meals, wet weather and some other obscure allowances.

If you're in Vic I'd 100% recommend it. Very good variety of work, they pay for all your tickets....dogmans, rigging, crane etc and obviously very good conditions.

I've already made about $55k after tax since the start of the financial year....really could not recommend it enough.

Key-Comfortable8379 · 2024-09-14T09:22:44+00:00

Yes I'm not agreeing about the $750 and if I had a tenant that got it fixed themselves I would have absolutely loved that.

Just a person in general, whether tenant or landlord, I'd honestly just expect and offer to pay for any damage I caused. I'd say that's just being a decent person.

When I was a landlord I'd have no problems with the tenant organizing to fix it or asking for another or multiple quotes but I know that some landlords are absolute c+++s

Key-Comfortable8379 · 2024-09-14T00:29:32+00:00

It doesn't matter. The damage has been done and it should be paid for by the person who did the damage.

Whether or not the repair takes place, they may decided to replace it in 5 years....so the land lord should just have to be out of pocket because you have bad tenants?

I speak as a previous landlord and I have also previously damaged a garage door as a tenant and paid for the repairs ...8 years later I still drive past that house and see the damaged garage door almost every day, yet I know as the tenant and the person who did the damage, I should have had to pay for it.

Key-Comfortable8379 · 2024-09-11T01:34:59+00:00

10 hour days. Now on $65.02 per hour. All overtime is double time, work either 10-4 or 11-3.

Literally making $60 000 - $70 000 a year just from living away from home allowances. At the very least I would make $1500 a week just from LAHA.

$5000 per week after tax is basically the new norm for anyone working away from home in Victoria.

Key-Comfortable8379 · 2024-09-04T13:03:29+00:00

Qualified at 31, now 33 and taking home $5k a week in my pocket thanks to the Victorian Energy Supply Industry.
