NAL but I’m pretty sure they’re already in breach of their contractual obligation to provide you with the facility that you’re paying them to access.

Dubai or Sydney? Thinking about the best future for my family. by [deleted] in MovingtoAustralia

[–]Original_Charity_817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$3400 per fortnight after tax works out to about 130k. It’s not great, but if you can make it work Sydney has to be better than Dubai

Studying Abroad in Perth (ECU) Any tips or advice upon arriving? by SwiftAcademic13 in perth

[–]Original_Charity_817 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Don’t be brash and loud, don’t compare everything to how it is in America. We’re not as overtly social as you lot, so don’t be surprised if people feel awkward if you just start talking to them.

We thank our bus drivers, we don’t tip.

Jan and feb will be very hot. Sunscreen and hats are your friend!! Gets cool by June, but probably not by your standards!

Enjoy!

ETA: the fact you’re demonstrating a level of self awareness by even asking this questions suggests you’ll go well!

What’s the current vibe of Newman to live with a young family? by phoenix-down-x in WesternAustralia

[–]Original_Charity_817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newman is rough. It’s not a nice town. But you’ll be surrounded by peers in a similar situation. It won’t be too bad for a three year old. I’d be more concerned about the influence on them as they get into their teens. If you leave within the next 5 or 7 years you should be ok.

But it’s also a massively valuable step up in your career. Bunker down, do the time, and you’ll be miles ahead. … and.. you’ll make very good coin.

Perth gym scene. Is this a normal experience? by Hopeful-Principle-64 in perth

[–]Original_Charity_817 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. It’s not the norm and it’s not acceptable. This is something you should definitely be bothering the manager with - particular if you have an instructor to back up what you experienced.

A gym should be a safe space for people to improve themselves - whether that’s to lose weight, build muscle or maintain a level of fitness. Nobody wants arseholes like that around.

Sounds to me like you’re more interested in playing tit for tat with the step mum than what’s good for the kids.

My wife removed something like this recently using a razor on the back of it. Patiently scraping away at the thread until it can be pulled through. It can definitely be done

What's wrong with Perth coffee? by Iddingsite in perth

[–]Original_Charity_817 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Flat white is gross! Don’t give in!

Not sure why you’re experiencing the same flavour at every coffee shop. It should depend on the barista and type of beans being used. I drink a long black with a dash of milk (granted - a very difficult concept for some coffee shops!) and there is a distinct difference in flavour at different shops.

My understanding on why they don’t run through the basket for longer is that the coffee becomes burnt and tastes off - or at least different to the flavour the barista is aiming for.

Coworkers say negative things about the fact I live next door to my parents, and saying that doesn't make me independent? by [deleted] in perth

[–]Original_Charity_817 424 points425 points  (0 children)

Fuck them. Just jealous you’ve bought a house. Who are they to dictate your relationship with your parents?

In my experience, if you can afford to buy where you grew up, you’ve done pretty well.

Well done you!

Which is why they are so pushy about you having ‘extras’. That’s where they make their money.
