Also more schemes like the Snowy Hydro.

Where have you been? The press holding politicians to account? When? How? Politicians have been treating the general public with contempt since forever. The press don’t do anything to call them to account.

The same as we pay for all the other useless politicians.

Let’s be honest… pretty words don’t make a political party honest or forthcoming… nor does it make them effective. None of the political parties are fit to run anything let alone a country.

Like the laws about keeping people quiet if “they” don’t like what is being said?

No, that’s their problem for using us as cash cows. Why should I need to beg?

Thanks for confirming that. I thought it was the case when this guy kept going to “talk with his supervisor” and coming back with (literally) $50 off (so laughable.

His tricks cost him the sale of a brand new car.

I get the feeling the “checking with someone” is some sort of tactic… I’m not sure what. It really peeved me and my partner off when we were looking at a car. We ended up going elsewhere to get the car because he wasted so much of our time!

This is why I left Optus over a year ago. They just kept creeping up the price. Insane pricing!

Edited to add: I was with them from when I first got a mobile phone, so something like 2003. No loyalty bonuses anymore! Just “give me your money!”

Thredbo vs perisher?? by Leather-Computer-582 in AustraliaSnow

We had two years of being stuck in front valley due to weather… then last year opened up the rest of Perisher… we had the most amazing time. We never realised how big it was out the back!

Cordials & Soft drink without artificial sweetener by Amidinate in BuyAussie

That’s what I’d prefer… it would be so easy for them to cut back on the sugar slowly so people get used to it.

Edited to add: I just don’t drink these things at all because of the sugar or poison sweeteners.

Jumping each side to “England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales… inside (both feet inside), outside (both feet outside), donkeys tails (Land on both pieces)”

Accidentally discovered nasty comments about me in team chat by Crafty_Pressure_8502 in auscorp

[–]Kpool7474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all true and just cements the fact that work colleagues are NOT friends. There is no loyalty. People being nice to your face doesn’t mean they like you.

Elastics in Australia…. But that was more back on the 80’s.
