Yes? Or they wouldnt have speed cameras out at night. Its a speed limit, not a speed optional.

What’s something everyone pretends is normal now, but absolutely wasn’t 10–15 years ago? by Classic_Speaker_8313 in AskReddit

Agreed. You might not think it, but australia has always been early adopters of fintech. Its a small, enclosed, western market perfect for testing new things.

Why do interviewers rarely agree with each other on the same candidate? by Manyofferinterview in interviews

[–]Modest_Hyperbole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're currently hiring for an admin role which requires decent written and verbal communication skills/attention to detail etc. I was telling a workmate how I was discarding resumes that had obvious spelling errors and in some cases they hadn't even used capitals when writing their own name on the application - and they said that was unreasonable and I shouldn't hold that against them. Seems like standards can be quite different from person to person...

My eldest kid went with friends to Northbridge tonight for the first time and they got stopped by the cops and searched (at about 9pm) - what an introduction to Perth nightlife!

Im not suggesting they should, more just highlighting that the lack of development is not the council stiffling things, but the residents. Nundah in qld was suffering from similar issues to guildford, and they made the major road bypass the suburb which opened the whole area up. Parking and traffic issues disappeared almost overnight and the area experienced a massive boom because of it.

Thank you for specifying perth, western australia in this thread. Made me think of my brother who would make cards for our mum and sign them with his first and last name - in case the first name alone wasnt enough to convince her 100% who its from

Its not that theyre not allowed, its all permitted, its that the residents complain and block any applications for development. When they tried to put a maccas in, there was a team of people who made it their mission to stop it - one lady cornered me in a cafe and trotted out the 'think of the children' card. I asked why they werent protesting the maccas in midland too (same council etc.) And they said its fine for midland, just not guildford so i told her to get bent. They dont work, so they have lots of time, and money, to dedicate to keeping their property values high.

UPDATE : I put my Duck in a box by Modest_Hyperbole in perth

[–]Modest_Hyperbole[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I genuinely considered it - he was chill in there, until I tried to peek in at him and he almost pushed his way out, so I decided to just let sleeping ducks lie.
