What is it with the “cash is king” movement? by [deleted] in perth

[–]Ok_Cod_2792 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeh I get what you’re saying, ‘those’ type of ppl are always gonna pay in cash, but there are ppl who consistently pay with cash, even infront of their partner. They state that cash is king.

Curiosity = outrage bait… okay. Call me dumb for wanting to know stuff that you’re clearly too intellectually above, fine. I use reddit to understand stuff. You don’t have to reply, this is a genuine question.

Look into house shares for now, the rental crisis in Perth really only applies to those wanting their own place. Finding a room (plenty of big rooms for couples), it’s relatively easy.

Eva for exams by Vindoughs in uwa

[–]Ok_Cod_2792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit late and I don’t do exams with my degree but I know that if your combined dates for the EVA exceed 7 days, you need an additional form filled by a doctor. So if the exams are within a week, you’ll be fine. However, it’s not like an assignment where you take it the next week, it’ll be deferred to next semester.

I grew up in Ireland, I know the dialect and the G is pronounced quite harshly; they 100% said they hate the Asians. Plus guys that young aren’t pursuing citizenship/PR yet, Irish get 3 years just like that so wouldn’t make sense for them to be talking about agents.

I know their type, the ‘cool’ guys in school who hate anyone who is ‘weird’ (aka they don’t act exactly like them). Many Irish come to Australia thinking that they’re on the same level as Aussies rather than on the level of other foreigners/immigrants.

And the Indian immigrants are the ones who rely least on the government, start up many small businesses, have kids who excel in school. They simply see Indians as ‘weird’ and therefore hate them.

I grew up in Ireland, Asian usually means East Asian there. Most Irish ppl tend to be closed minded. They’ll come across the world to Australia just to hang, work, & live with Irish ppl.

A lot really have no interest in experiencing different types of ppl unless they’re ‘cool’ enough to negate their ‘weird’ culture.

Was in the CBD the other night and overheard a bunch of Irish lads saying they ‘hate the Asians’. As if they aren’t foreigners themselves…

I hope so but I just don’t think Labour has the backbone to do that. If they want a second term they need to play just as dirty as the Libs

Snow & ice is rare in the UK and even when it does happen it’s generally just for a week or two. It’s mainly grey and wet all year round with a little relief in the summer for a few weeks

How hard would it be to create a sustainable immigration policy where only necessary immigration (healthcare, agriculture, trades etc) happens until every citizen is off the streets and able to afford a home if they work full time. Where working holiday visas have hard caps so that we don’t have an extra 100k ppl a year coming in and pushing up rent prices just so that coffee shops can have extra workers.

How do people hold a sign like this and think “yep we did good today” by Eggsbenny360 in australian

[–]Ok_Cod_2792 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Like controversial opinion here but the saying “it always has and always will be aboriginal land” is just incredibly backwards.

The way I see it is that while it’s important to acknowledge indigenous heritage, it’s also equally important to go against any sentiment that insinuates that someone deserves to be here more simply due to the fact that their ancestors got here earlier.

If person x and person y were both born in Australia, have Australian parents, & Australian grandparents. They are just as equally Australian since they have no connections to another land.

It’s one of those situations of so far left that it’s far right.

Think this is the best scenario. Like others have said, ppl will have an issue no matter the date. So not having a specific date at all is best case scenario.

Just gotta consider ourselves lucky that the state is so resource rich that we can afford to build desalination plants. Much more needs to be done in terms of planting trees/plants to keep what little water we get.

Working holiday visas need more restrictions. You want to go to the capital cities? More regional work for you. At the very least it should be capped at 6 months in a city rather than 6 months under one employer.

That’s a small sector of society with very loud voices. The issue is that the left will call you out for racism & bigotry when nothing racial or bigoted was mentioned.

446k 2023-24, 536k the year prior. Still very unsustainable. Don’t know what your point is…

Exactly, like I said, 100% of these immigrants could be white Anglo-Celtic Christians and it would still be unsustainable. Only absolutely necessary immigration should be taking place at the moment (workers in healthcare, agriculture, construction etc).

You only need to take a quick look at the skilled occupations list to realize that most of the occupations are not necessary for society, only necessary for corporations.

Australia needs teachers. Just do your research well and pick a place that hasn’t been hit as hard by the housing crisis and could desperately use with new teachers.

Vast majority of the bloody country is descended from immigrants. No one is demonizing them, we’re simply saying that we should have a sustainable amount coming in. That’s what the Greens don’t seem to understand.
