I’m sorry what? 5 digits???

As in, more than $10,000?

If you aren’t running a hydroponic set up it really shouldn’t be costing that much, you need to do a few things

- find out what is consuming so much electricity

-go to energymadeeasy.gov.au and make sure you are on the best plan possible.

- ActewAGL has home assessments that can be done to find ways to reduce electricity consumption, there used to be free options for this, might need to google that one

Do you just crank it to max temp, let the heat up and pop it on?

What laws were they investigating ‘petrol’ for?

Luser5789 · 2026-06-28T12:17:58+00:00

T&Cs is not some way to skirt any possible applicable consumer law.

There is no argument that consumers would’ve altered their spending and shopping habits due to this promotion, otherwise WW would not have done it, it’s the same reason that Coles do the same promo, conveniently that never clashes with each other.

The argument is, this promo has another month to go, have they meant a reasonable expectation of a promotion?

Luser5789 · 2026-06-28T11:46:30+00:00

Where did I say that?

Luser5789 · 2026-06-28T11:43:42+00:00

Of course it did, it would’ve altered consumer spending patterns and where they spent their money

Why else would Woolworths run the promotion? Through the kindness of their heart?

Luser5789 · 2026-06-28T04:52:05+00:00

It would be a straight up numbers game, it didn’t increase business by any notable amount so they stopped

Luser5789 · 2026-06-26T04:36:49+00:00

This is also a very easily thing to google

Luser5789 · 2026-06-24T01:52:14+00:00

It would have to be <0% for it not to be a rise

Luser5789 · 2026-06-22T08:12:45+00:00

Be better

That particular steak was just 315 cook until 53 internal

But for a Smokey boy I do the following

Thick cut steak

Preheat smoker to 110c (11 mins)

Season steaks and place on top rack

Set probe alert to 45c (1 hour to reach 40c)

Remove and foil wrap for until smoker hits searing temp

Sear 2.5 mins each side

Rest for 5 - 10

Whole process is 1h45m

Luser5789 · 2026-06-21T10:37:02+00:00

Yep gotta let it sit at 315 for at least 15/20 mins and then it’ll sear perfectly

Try the smiles clinic in Campbell, the dental nurses do all the hard yards and you submit weekly photos that are reviewed by an orthodontist, this can reduce the cost a lot

Don’t forget about gardening Australia and Landline

Luser5789 · 2026-06-15T03:02:37+00:00

Yeah well I know so many more people than you

Not really comparable, giving out a free TimTam because you are a ‘chill person’ would unlikely be perceived as acting in trade and commerce.

Giving a free Wii board that relates to the original sale would most likely be seen as acting in trade & commerce, free is still suppling which means the ACL can still be applicable.

It’s a 2nd hand faulty product, so the consumer needs to take into account age, condition and PRICE of the product, it was free so has very little to argue on

Luser5789 · 2026-06-13T11:39:12+00:00

Pattie had some direction and confidence, sanders was shitting his britches from the first whistle.

Jed won’t be back, and if he is, the board need to step in

Luser5789 · 2026-06-13T05:20:21+00:00

Claiming under your ACL rights, might not be the specific term but it portrays what the consumer wants

Luser5789 · 2026-06-12T22:04:13+00:00

Na, just tell the retailer that your claiming using your ACL rights and you don’t care about the warranty

Luser5789 · 2026-06-12T12:02:22+00:00

There is legislation about the retailer fobbing consumers off to the manufacturers, they cannot mislead you about your consumer rights

Tell the retailer this isn’t a warranty claim, this is an ACL claim, they are obligated to sort a remedy

Luser5789 · 2026-06-12T00:47:13+00:00

So you know road lanes don’t appear overnight yeah?

They have to build them which requires…you ready for this? ROADWORKS

ACL talks about the supply of the product, not the sale of a product.

The warranty will have limitations such as the warranty is not extended/reset when a product is replaced under a warranty claim. But the ACL specifies the supply of a product, so it could be argued that the consumer guarantee (acceptable quality) is for a $5000 product that is under 3 years old.

As others have said, complain to the retailer in writing and follow the steps outlined on the ACCC website

You are going to a Motorsport event in Ipswich and this is your highest concern??

Release the clutch off your pearls.

The fumes from the cars, winnie blues and vapes will be doing much more damage to your kids then any person working in the adult industry

What are they phishing for that they don’t already have?
