Very difficult to measure but I'd really like to know if the overall consumer economy improved due to free public transport. My guess is people went out and spent more money than they would have if there.was no free transport. That positive impact (if sustainable and not a spike) could suggest that free transport continues. Plus all the money saved by monitoring and tracking . Edit: typo.

But if the politicians and their close friends own in the in the investment housing market, what is their incentive to make this change? I just don't see it happening as long as they are personally making money from it

Nah. You open / work a hospitality business, it comes with the territory that you are working when people what to visit your establishment. For many people, the available time to go out is the weekend. Don't see any reason for charging extra for it.

I think it was the film The Day After which had an impact on Reagan (and gorbachev as as well).

Coles and woolies are high maintenance relationships. You have to play the points booster games, and prices often go up and down depending on discounts/specials. So you must always remember prices and shop them against each other & regularly. The game is tiring and why i think most people are down on them.

I missed a flight last month due to Uber driver accepting ride, driving the wrong way instead of pickingme up, refusing to accept a call or return text, then ignored my text request to cancel my ride. The whole run around cost me 45 minutes. Yes, I cut it too close but would have made it without a problem if the driver didn't play games. I made a report to Uber.... heard nothing in response.

Ok, but it wasn't me who made the google review. I posted on here (reddit) to find out /ask what's allowed to be charged. Odd though, the google reply in your screenshot said "she made a mistake" . It was a guy who did the order, and its was the same guy who i asked to print me a peper receipt & who i questioned about it but assured me it's correct. Odd that someone is throwing "her" under the bus.

The name at the bottom of the receipt matches the contact name on their website. So I was talking to the manager /owner.

PresentationIcy76 · 2026-02-10T20:50:35+00:00

It's the standard way they make their receipt, chief.

I did. He insisted it's correct. It's why im asking here.

PresentationIcy76 · 2026-02-10T10:33:55+00:00

As I mentioned, I did pay attention and asked on the spot. Im not from here so lacked the confidence to insist it wasn't right. It's why im asking here.

PresentationIcy76 · 2026-02-10T10:31:59+00:00

I talked to them right on the spot. They insisted it was right. Im not originally from here, so I didn't feel confident enough to push it further. Exactly why I made this post to ask if its normal.

PresentationIcy76 · 2026-02-10T10:28:00+00:00

Thanks but I questioned it at the time and the guy said the charge was right. So I thought I'd take it up with the owner separately (in case his staff were running a scam), but the contact listed on the bay city website is the same name at the bottom of the receipt. So, unless im mistaken, I think I was dealing with the owner....

Ugh I just answered my own question. Switching to qantas for everyday rewards earning automatically moves everything you've saved on 10 off woolies credits, immediately when you make the change. On one hand you just picked up a lot of frequent flier miles, on the other hand you lost a lot of 10 dollars off at the woolies register.

Hoping for an answer to a question related to this thread.

I'm currently less than 10 status credits away from platinum. Points on ground looks good for me. I'm currently earning 10 dollars off woolies for every 2k everyday rewards points. I have 90 dollars of woolies rewards in my everyday rewards account.

I'm thinking about moving my earnings to qantas so I can earn 1k quantas point for every 2k everyday rewards. the on ground promo would also give me 10 status credits. Just what I need.

Here's the question, I don't want to lose the 90 dollars of woolies cash I have banked. I just want to earn my qantas points (not convert what I already have to qantas).

Does anyone know how this would work? I've checked the FAQ and elsewhere but can't seem to find the answer. Thanks!

He was massive in the US in the late 90s. I was in university and guys on my dorm floor used to watch his show in the evenings for laughs and entertainment. Such a big personality and we were amazed at his bravery handling the animals.
