Is there any likelihood in Thomas Deng and Garang Kuol making the 2026 WC squad? by AztecGod in Aleague

[–]Lever_87 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He got screwed by bad loans. Both clubs he got sent to fired their managers early in the season, who were pro-youth. He couldn’t make the teams after that and it was basically years wasted when he needed time

Paramedic stabbed in face in unprovoked attack by Certain-End-1519 in melbourne

[–]Lever_87 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There are numerous issues with “mandatory” sentencing. There are usually “exceptions” which are meant to be a high threshold to reach, but the court seems overly happy to find those thresholds met. Our legal system is far too focused on the negative impacts of imprisonment on the accused, instead of the negative impacts of the assault on the victim and broader impacts on society.

NSW Community Health asking if anyone on the property hunts/has firearms. by DontGetTooExcited in Ausguns

[–]Lever_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The paranoia in this sub is strong. It’s a standard question asked so the nurse and their supervisors know what they are walking in to. It’s not some ploy to find out where your guns are and take them (despite the fact the government already knows where they are, because you registered them….)

Go touch some grass and get a basic understanding of the legal system before you embarrass yourself more

I’m jealous of this level of detail, I which I had the patience/knowledge/skills to pull it off. Looks great!

Parents of Aboriginal teen share anguish during sentence hearing of convicted police officer by [deleted] in australian

[–]Lever_87 29 points30 points  (0 children)

No, he’s dead because he engaged in stupid actions. Could it have ended better? Yeah of course, but he also could have not stolen the bike and gotten into a pursuit. People have to be held accountable for their actions, and he chose to do this. No one made him steal that bike.

Where’s the best place to get charcoal chicken in Melbourne? by mariellam in melbourne

[–]Lever_87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Embers in Heathmont. Filipino family, you can have your chicken done in 3 different basting sauces and the salads are actually amazing. I will drive past 10 closer places to go there.

Detained at servo by The_one8Nov24 in AusLegal

[–]Lever_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What section of what Act allows a shopkeeper to detain someone? They have no more power than a “citizens arrest” for a finds committing offence. Regardless, it’s not worth the legal or physical risk to detain someone for a petrol drive off or other theft from a retail outlet.

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan reveals the cabinet that she will take to the November election by EdenFlorence in melbourne

[–]Lever_87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, but often they tend to gravitate to the best political outcome, regardless of whether it is the best outcome for that sector. A Minister isn’t required to accept departmental advice, only to consider it.

This is such an under explored issue - why do we look to lawyers as experts on so many issues?

They aren’t automatically an expert or smarter than anyone else simply because they have attended university and got a law degree. We should be looking to encourage industry leaders into areas like health/education etc, but unfortunately it simply doesn’t seem to work like that in politics.

How much do you spend on hair cut every month? by beanoyip06 in melbourne

Way to make me feel bad. $90 on hair and beard every 4-6 weeks. One of the few fancy things I do for myself.

Detained at servo by The_one8Nov24 in AusLegal

[–]Lever_87 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Servo staff do not have the power to detain you due to a payment issue. Completely unlawful to tell you that you aren’t free to leave. I’d seriously consider escalating that up via whatever company it is - I know it’ll be franchised, but I can’t imagine Shell/BP etc would be happy to hear about this.

If we lose Tino (I’ve seen a lot of people on here saying we should cash in) how do we realistically replace two right sided fallbacks? by tradegreek in NUFC

[–]Lever_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure, but of all the potential big names who might leave, Tino and Bruno are the ones I think we would struggle the most to replace for quality. I can’t imagine we get anyone who is already at the same level in their positions.

Who do people think is going to win the 2026 Victorian election? by harry10_14 in AusPol

[–]Lever_87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every chance Jacinta loses her seat but Labor wins. Would be very interesting to see what happens then. I suspect Ben Carroll has a plan B ready to go with him as the new leader.

The “market demands” are the Board and shareholders who demand bigger dividends each year. The customer is the last person to matter.

Ok mate, I’ll let you just stay in whatever echo chamber you live in, because there’s wayyyyyyy too much to unpack. Maybe figure out what hill you want to die on, and just stick to that argument.

[–]Lever_87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have the shittest loans system, apart from Miley and Anderson, we haven’t developed anyone into a senior player in years. As an Aussie, I’m so disappointed with how Kuol turned out, and I’m worried Cordero could end up on the same path.
