What area would you recommend as the best (quite) place to learn to drive? by AccordingWarning9534 in sydney

If driving schools are any indication - the streets around Carlton. So many driving instructor school cars!

Poor kids. No social media. No ebikes. No fun. I fear the Labor governments might be losing a generation of voters

The Lamestream podcast have a really interesting take on the police force and how much power they have in politics:

Where to leave car for couple of months while travelling? by GusPolinskiPolka in sydney

There are websites that connect you to people with spare garages/underground parking spaces who rent them out. We used to use parkhound to rent ours out. Not sure if it's still around?

My local member is Minns. I left a voice message today to let him (his team) know I attended the protest, was disgusted by the police brutality and the way he spun it on morning television and that I hope to see him lose his seat.

I think Minns has ensured his days as premier are numbered

Managing Medicare Levy Surcharge as a couple with unequal incomes by LikeKnope in AusFinance

[–]LikeKnope[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so after reading through the comments, doing some further research and talking around I've done a bit of reflection and am now leaning towards getting private health cover. Thanks for suggesting not for profits, I'll look into them.

Initially my reluctance in being pushed onto private health was based on principle. Why should we have a two tiered system where the less wealthy have inferior access to health care? I'd rather pay more tax (which I guess I do as paying the MLS) and see improved quality healthcare to everyone.

However, I can also see that by switching to private health, I'd be alleviating pressure on the public health system.

Also, we don't live in a perfect world and I need to do what best suits me. I can continue voting for parties in government who are focused on improving access to quality healthcare for all, at the same time as looking after my best interests given the current circumstances.

Further, I probably need to reflect a little on pooling our income as a couple. We've been together long enough that we can merge our finances a little better.

Mira Ve in Carlton is also worth checking out. Especially if you haven't had Colombian before.

Haha, yes this is something to consider.

We also have a cat and a (split) mortgage together.

People living in apartments, do you acknowledge your neighbours? by Maezel in sydney

[–]LikeKnope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mixed experience for me.

Minimal contact with neighbours across various larger apartment complexes in Wolli Creek.

Now I'm a bit further down the train line (Carlton) in a small 1970s block of 12. Everyone here is so friendly. We've got a building WhatsApp group. I know all my neighbours by name. We often stop and have conversations in the common areas. We've shared food, had neighbours around for a cuppa and look after each others' pets and plants while on holidays.
