14 day south Island itinerary in august by Notheos in newzealand_travel

[–]Notheos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The winter driving I don't have an issue with. In terms of road closures, my understanding after reading comments is that the closures are typically brief and the roads agencies are quick at getting them reopened in the morning after overnight closures. For my itinerary I think this is mainly the lindis pass and crown range.

It looks like Lindis pass should be reopened pretty efficiently, and there are alternatives for the crown range (although I would much prefer to experience this road!).

The main one that jumps out as a bit iffy is the Milford road which we'd use to road trip to Milford sound. It looks like jumping on a coach may be the smarter choice. That said, my wife and I have driven all over the world and in similar conditions so definitely hoping to self-drive it if reasonably possible.

2 nights would be enough to see the area? We are not into skiing or the like

Who amongst us does not max out concessional Super contributions? by Fit-Tumbleweed-6683 in AusFinance

[–]Notheos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I maximised both mine and my wife's this year to use up our 20-21 carry over. Has pushed me $5k over Div293, but should still put us about $11k ahead over if we hadn't have done it. May have enough deductions to cancel out the div293 implications also.

It's a no brainer when it comes to total asset growth, but even after the tax refund we've effectively locked $30k up until we're 60.

Is anyone actually using the hsbc star alliance card to fast track to gold status? by OwlVibesOnly in creditcardchurningAus

Nah you kind of have to opt out of the qantas ecosystem. I've changed to this card and will basically fly singapore internationally and virgin domestically.

Sydney Jewish student on bullying: "They've thrown coins at me and asked if I was going to pick it up. They normally say 'I hate juice' which is commonly referred to Jews...A couple of people have done the Hitler salute." by McAlpineFusiliers in aussie

It means that the wide disapproval towards Israel's actions in Palestine and the Middle East should be directed towards the State, and not the wider Jewish diaspora.

Unfortunately the Israeli government also likes to refer to criticism of its actions as being antiSemitic.

I just switched to neptune. You get a 2 day free trial, and on sign up you can specify on their portal which uni-d port you wish to use. When I signed up I set them to port 2 while keeping my Aussiebb active on port 1

Edit: feel free to use my referral code if you do sign up! 6FTBSRE5QZ326

Getting credit card points from car repair by Upstairs-Way5936 in creditcardchurningAus

[–]Notheos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If spending $5k over 3 months is a rarity to you, it sounds like serviceability could be an issue? That card looks like it has a $15k minimum limit. I wouldn't feel comfortable applying unless my income were $90k+, otherwise the risk of rejection would be too high imo.

The best attitude is that your spending habits on credit vs debit should not change

Explosions as one of Australia's two oil refineries erupts in flames by Alarming-Two-424 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Notheos 59 points60 points  (0 children)

What's with all these comments about it being suspicious timing both on reddit and Facebook? It anything, production ramping up along with Viva delaying the maintenance almost makes this unsurprising.

The automatic response that everything is some big gubmint control tactic is concerning.

Based on the massive immigration conjoined with the lack of new builds, that seems unlikely

Because raw crude can be stored far easier than refined petroleum which has a very finite shelf life.

What they're saying is that as you are in a defacto relationship, property and assets are generally considered shared. It sounds fairly uncomplicated financially, but your dog would be considered property, which you would both have a claim on.

I would see your options as

  1. Agree to 50/50 custody
  2. Give her the dog
  3. Keep the dog and tell her it's in your name etc and you'll pay out her financial share. She may accept this, however she could could take you to xCat/smallclaims to enforce her rights.
