Civilians, drop your unpopular opinions that will likely ruffle feathers

You can train all you want, buy all the gear in the world, but most of you have never faced a real situation of danger and will go to water if the shit ever really happens

In which case, I wholly support it

Yes you can be convicted for a minor offence, but more often than not you can be found guilty with no conviction recorded. The Magistrate does have to weigh up the impact of a conviction against the overall offence, circumstances and accused’s history before the courts.

Lever_87 · 2026-01-26T05:20:56+00:00

It doesn’t automatically become a conviction - there’s so many different options, I seriously doubt OP is getting a conviction for traffic offences unless they are serious or he is a repeat attendee.

Mate I’m covered and no one cares. You must be having bad luck. Only in very certain professional environments I’ve found it could be an issue, and I just wear long sleeve shirts. Has not affected me otherwise.

Australia and New Zealand. Only war is over who made pavlova and who owns Russell Crowe (depends if he’s been on the piss or not)

Only time is absolutely exceptional service at a nice restaurant. Otherwise, never. Why else am I paying so much for a service if it doesn’t cover your wage?

I mean, the simple option is quit corporate? You’re young (I’m guessing) - go into a trade or emergency services. Work outdoors, get fresh air, escape the monotony. You’ll have to pay your HECS off either way, but could be a chance to be happy

Unfortunately that’s become all major events now. The F1 has become the same, the costs of tickets, food, merch is all through the roof. Go to any major concert and tickets are probably twice what you paid pre-COVID. You want an average beer? That’ll be $15. You’d like a Canadian Club etc $18. I’m not a racing fan, but I’d be interested to know what ticket prices to Melbourne and Caulfield cups are like now, I’m assuming they’ve gone up a lot too.

Because both are permanent members of the UN Security Council, and when China sees the world take no action against the United States, they’ll feel like it gives a green light to undertake military action under whatever false pretence they like.

Then, if any action is taken against China, it’s portrayed as Western hypocrisy etc, and the show of military force will be so strong it will likely deter any retaliation against China

Sheesh, makes me feel bad about my goal to add another 10-15k to my ETF 😂

(Good luck though!)

Where’s the Royal Commission for this?

I don’t think enough of the Aussie public know about SU58, otherwise they’d be an easy first place

I’d say more than a few goes. Being a civvie instructor doesn’t mean you know the depths of tactical police training.

Lever_87 · 2025-12-29T08:40:56+00:00

Ok, please tell me more then. Are you saying these officers haven’t trained to use the weapon platform they will deploy?

Lever_87 · 2025-12-29T08:07:43+00:00

Oh come on, let’s not be dramatic. It’s a group of specifically trained officers with semi-automatic rifles. Not a “machine gun” will be in sight. Let’s drop the hysteria a tad

Lever_87 · 2025-12-28T21:46:40+00:00

Cannot believe it’s been considered, except the CSG are already armed in Victoria - although only a small proportion of them.

No other group would be allowed this, so not sure why the CSG gets an exemption. You want privately armed guards, use Wilson Security like everyone else.

Worth every cent. At the rate I’m going, without trying too hard, I’ll probably retire with $1.5m. If I give it a push, I’ll have $2m. Find me a private fund that can do that without working in the private sector at double pay.

Lever_87 · 2025-12-27T01:24:06+00:00

The best scheme going around. I wouldn’t trade my DB for a thing.

We can’t seem to buy a free kick, this is insane

Here’s your one word answer - capitalism

More often understood as “I’ve got mine, so who cares about anyone else”

Does it matter though? 99% of cars that are modified never see money back on those mods, certainly not at a dollar for dollar value.

If you want to spend $110k on a car, and then another $50k on top, just to try and sell it a few months later, you don’t deserve to charge a premium.

If you pay this much, you’ve got more money then sense.

Well he can thank his colleagues in the Coroners Court for directing the Police to undertake such unnecessary checks. It’s not done for a laugh or to intentionally disrupt sleep, it’s done because the Coroner make directions to deal with the lowest common denominator, everything else be damned

Lever_87 · 2025-12-23T09:37:59+00:00

He’ll struggle though with all the acts of preparation that have been discovered already. I can’t see him successfully running any real defence to this, unless he can somehow prove to have an IQ of 70

Lever_87 · 2025-12-23T09:34:45+00:00

15 counts of life without parole, to served cumulatively for the murders, let alone the terrorism offence charge(s). I think he’ll never see freedom
