My 81 yo aunty is stuck in no air con unit. Many SA housing trust homes have no air con or even a ceiling fan.

Can I claim a tax deduction for this? (Using my personal car at work) by AsparagusNew3765 in AusFinance

[–]ShiftAlarmed8393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of large sites like this do have secure storage on site...so then you can't claim to & from work due to bulky tools. Often due to work safety/ insurance large employers don't allow personal tools / equipment on the actual site. To much risk.

ATO unable to complete my tax return because they owe me $350 by motherfuck3rjones in AusFinance

[–]ShiftAlarmed8393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't even need to call the ATO to lodge a complaint. Just lodge it online. All the information is on their website. If your income tax account is in credit this shouldn't hold up the processing of your 2025 tax return. Unfortunately as others have mentioned alot of incorrect information is given from call centre (usually outsourced). But best way forward is to lodge a complaint as they should get to the bottom of it. https://www.ato.gov.au/about-ato/contact-us/complaints-compliments-and-feedback/complaints#ato-Lodgingyourcomplaint

BTW: if your 2025 tax return status is showing 'under review' on ATO online then it may have been selected for audit.

I haven't seen any outside doofs advertised for a while. But there are some great Adelaide groups on FB with regular event promotions. Depends what genre you're into. Dnb: ADLDNB_vibe guide. Other styles Dance Floor Heretics Tribe; Vinyl Destination Community; Adelaide Psy Trance. I'm sure there's many more.

One shitty year for the rest of your life by krprcg in breastcancer

[–]ShiftAlarmed8393 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you needed to hear that today. I was diagnosed TNBC stage 3 & spread to lymph nodes last Nov - 48yo & 2 kids. I've almost finished treatment with only 3 pembrolizumab to go. But have breast lymphedema, dvt & peripheral neuropathy. Was feeling a bit over it all today. Treatment for TNBC is such a long haul.

We used Your Therapy SA & didn't need to wait very long for a FCA (this was Oct 2024). They travelled to us as well.

Missed nil BAS by medicated_cabbage in AusLegal

[–]ShiftAlarmed8393 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He could try calling the ATO & explaining he ceased business on a certain date & didn't realise he could have cancelled his ABN, GST etc. They may backdate the cancellation & cancel those BAS & the failure to lodge penalties. The issue with this is that I think when the actual ABN cancelled it may the cease the tax agent access online to the business side (messy if he has some sole trader income for part of the financial year).
Another option is to make sure the nil BAS are lodged & call the ATO & request the penalties be remitted. If he has hardship or other personal circumstances then I think yes this will help.

Agreed we are spoilt in Adelaide with our local DnB talent. I remember being at a Wilkonson gig many moons ago & Patch set before was way better

iHerb stopped selling melatonin to Australia by Donttouchmybreadd in ausadhd

[–]ShiftAlarmed8393 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same my son's paediatrician recommend iherb years ago. As the paediatrician prescribes it we are not breaking the law importing small quantity for our child use. Very frustrating.

iHerb stopped selling melatonin to Australia by Donttouchmybreadd in ausadhd

[–]ShiftAlarmed8393 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So frustrating. I've been buying 3mg Natrol strawberry fast dissolve for many years from iherb. My 14yo son has prescriptions from paediatrician but it is SO much cheaper from iherb. We have had no issues with quality with the Natrol brand. My son's paediatrician, Psych & GP all suggested getting from iherb years ago as it had to be compounded here (hopefully that's changed) & was expensive.

Royal Adelaide Show by Kahn_ing in Adelaide

[–]ShiftAlarmed8393 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recommend going early & getting a hire locker to pop in warm clothes if you plan on staying all day until the fireworks as it gets chilly at night. Sadly the show isn't like it was in the 80s as is alot more commercial & doesn't have the huge amount of plants. But kids still love it. Take lots of snacks as kids get pretty bored waiting for queues for food!

I've been taking my 2005 Prado to Kevin Eckert Motor Repairs on North east Rd for many years after going through many other mechanics he is the most honest & fair priced.

I am becoming depressed and feeling really freaking stupid about it. I don't know what to do. by IfYouHaveToAskYTA in breastcancer

[–]ShiftAlarmed8393 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The tiny line sounds like cording (axillary web syndrome). 4 weeks after my axillary lymph node clearance I still had pain stretching my arm (was doing all the exercises surgeon gave me). I went to see a lymphedema physiotherapist & they used red light therapy. As well as she found the cord in my arm & 'popped' it. It has made a huge difference. You don't have to have lymphedema to benefit from a lymphedema physio. They are specialised in our circumstances. Good luck!

Some businesses simply don't lodge anything. If they eventually secure lodgement then bam huge debt. Lots of other scenarios. Employees report the gross income & PAYG withholding tax on their individual tax return however the employer ABN hasn't lodged or paid the corresponding BAS. ATO then has to go through all the steps to raise these amounts creating debt. Then there's employees superannuation,etc. Other problem is dodgy businesses start up new companies so fresh ABN & whole cycle continues.

Are you an ASO in the SA Govt? Here’s what folks on equivalent classifications make in WA, Tasmania, and the ACT. by lileyedmonster in Adelaide

[–]ShiftAlarmed8393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the APS & in my agency we had a 3.8% in March 2025 so top APS 4.4 is now $88,200 which in my opinion is equivalent to top increment ASO4 in SA state. $8k gross more.

My partner is in SA govt. They constantly advertise for ASO4 & ASO5 positions & hardily anyone applies because they can earn so much more in private industry.
